Another team of turbine builders was busy in the shop today with testing their turbine design. This time team Black Turbine (Ronald Kok, Christaan Leendertse, Bart Maree, Sander in 't Veld & Rens Hermus) We are testing the turbines with an easy design brake for this first match. A known torque, applied at the turbine shaft with a measured rotational frequency gives the delivered shaft power.
During the test the turbine seemed to deliver more power as the break could handle. The belt, used for the break started melting and burning. For the test team its time to look at other belt materials for testing.
The "Black Turbine" come with a set of steel, replaceable nozzles which can be mounted at the air pressure inlet.
