RTC2014 won by team Black Turbine

The Rotterdam Turbine Challenge 2014 is won by team Black Turbine. After the turbine had spinned up to a speed of about 20000 rpm the break load was applied. At that speed the turbine still delivered a high enough torque to make the break smoke and melt. This way we could not make a good measurement but it was clear the team had build the fastest turbine with the given load.

The students received the trophy from the hands of Gerard Beukema, founder of Technetkring and board member of Royal Dahlman.

More information about the turbine will be released next week with more information about the other three turbines that applied to the match.
