STARTING JANUARY 2017, THE COMPANY, HALES WATER TURBINES LTD WILL START TO DISPLAY THE SIMPLICITY AND POTENTIAL OF THE PATENTED HALES TURBINE DESIGN TO THE PUBLIC AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF DETAILED DEVELOPMENT.
AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN 100K GBP ON A TWO YEAR PROGRAMME TO BUILD AND OPERATE A SPECIAL 32,000 LITRE WATER FLOW TEST TANK, THIS TO FINALISE THE BEST BLADE SIZE AND CONFIGURATIONS ALONG WITH BAFFLE DESIGN AND TURBINE BUILD FORMS, THE COMPANY WILL NOW PROMOTE THE VARIOUS FORMS OF THE DESIGN.
THE ONLY TIME PREVIOUSLY THAT THE HALES TURBINE DESIGN HAD EVER BEEN DISPLAYED ON MEDIA WAS A YOUTUBE ITEM PRODUCED BY STUDENTS FROM LEICESTER UNIVERSITY,WHO, SADLY, HAD NO UNDERSTANDING OF THE BASIC PHYSICS OF A WATER TURBINE AS A TIDAL STREAM DESIGN, WHICH LEAD TO A VERY COMICAL BUT VERY MISLEADING DISPLAY OF A HALES TURBINE MODEL, OPERATING IN AN OPEN AIR CONFIGURATION, BUT DRIVEN BY A DIRECTED WATER FLOW ON THE BLADES.
THE RESULT WAS A VERY NOISY GARDEN SPRINKLER LOOKING DEVICE.
NEXT YEAR'S VIDEO CLIPS WILL DISPLAY THE VERY SMOOTH AND CONTROLLED OPERATION IN ITS TRUE ENVIRONMENT , TOTALLY IMMERSED IN THE WATER FLOW, WITH A ROTATIONAL SPEED BETWEEN 10 - 60 RPM.
