Rotterdam Turbine Challenge 2016



The second Rotterdam Turbine Challenge ended with a winning turbine running on air bearings. The third Rotterdam Turbine Challenge (RTC16) will have the theme “OTEC.”




The Dutch company Bluerise will be the context of the next turbine. Not only will the turbine need to run as fast as possible but it also needs to be secure for use with ammonia. During the challenge itself it will run on compressed air. The best turbine will be tested in the Bluerise OTEC skid at TU Delft.  

First round up



The first designs of the second Rotterdam Turbine Challenge are available from this blog now.
