Golden Ratio Turbines
Golden Ratio Turbine Concepts, LLC / Patented Clean Energy
Often, developing new methods and products requires re-examination of basic truths in order to consider concepts without preconception, preclusion, and prejudice to any prior art devices. Traditionally, science has been used as a tool in the study of nature and has achieved many objectives. Examination of the Golden Ratio concept in conjunction with the physical evidence that is revealed in the natural world around us has resulted in the development of certain new Golden Ratio Turbine Concepts. Numerous Golden Ratio "foot prints" are found in Galaxy Spirals, Tropical Cyclones, Sea Shells, Plants and Animals. These are not random occurrences but are "predictive patterns" that are exhibitions of "nature's choice" for efficient design. Golden Ratio rotary designs represent true "principles of least effort" that generate "minimum energetic losses" and are also harmonious in their shape and balanced in rotation .
The Golden Ratio Turbine (GRT) is a "bio-mechanical" fluid flow apparatus that is useful in both gas or liquid mediums and is comprised of Golden Ratio elements, proportions, sections and geometry. These properties are used in combination to produce a device of "compound unity" (not merely the sum of its individual parts). The GRT-01 model is a "cyclonic" Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) that has a low cross section aspect ratio which places the Center of Gravity, the Center of Effort and the Center of Lateral Resistance all in the Center of Axis of Rotation. This creates a low loading effect on the support structures and enables GRT-01 to operate in "coherent synergy" which exemplifies superb "balance in motion". The GRT-01's inherent natural design has resulted in an inanimate device having the unique quality of achieving a "state of unified equalization" and harmony within its mediums. This enables the GRT to peacefully co-exist with living creatures in their associated environments (birds of the air, fish of the sea, land animals and also with humans). Additionally, the GRT's "proportional equilibrium" solves some inherent technical difficulties encountered in older noisy turbine designs. This is why it is remarkably silent and well suited for urban areas (Silence IS Golden). These and other features produces a variety of GRT models having a "novel and attractive appearance" which are truly ideal for Wind and Hydro Power applications. The unique patented extended "leverage arm" spiral feature used in all GRTs creates a significant mechanical advantage and increases the rotor's torque force over that of radial devices. "Torque equals Force times Distance" or (T = F x D). In common radial turbines this "distance" is limited to only a device's radius. In the GRT this spiral "distance" is much greater than a rotor radius which translates directly into more torque force within a given diameter. This increased torque force results in more power available at the rotor's axis and more electricity which saves precious fresh water at hydro electric power dam sites.
In addition, these GRT devices are proportionally "scalable" and all of their properties and ratios are wholly preserved in a wide diversity of applications. These include larger power grid, medium scale onsite and assorted smaller boating or camping designs. The micro GRT-01 is totally silent and starts charging batteries in 9 mph winds (top photo below). A newer design using a 3-D spiral wing feature (second photo below) has been built and is being field tested which generates up to 100 watts in 25 mph winds. This same device is featured in the last depiction below in a SHORT VIDEO during a recent wind test on the coastline. And last but not least, a much larger trailer mounted prototype has been developed using a 1,000 watt Axial Flux PMG generator at it's core and features our newest golden spiral wing design ! This latest device is designed as a stand alone mobile power station that is mounted on a trailer for rapid deployment to remote locations. It can be used as a hybrid with solar panels and provides a pure wave 120 volt/60 cycle a/c output with added 12vdc and 24vdc ports for accessories and charging needs (third photo below). These prototype models are all part of our "CYCLOTROSS TM" class of Golden Ratio Spiral Turbines.
This innovative technology is evolving into numerous applications. Our prototypes include variations of wind and water Horizontal and Vertical Axis devices. We recently proved the concept of one of our new golden spiral wind turbines (pictured above top photo) and continue to improve on these and other designs. We welcome opportunities to form partnerships or alliances with entities who can help provide R&D expansion, manufacturing, marketing and commercialization skills.
Ecology is Life and the relationship of all living organisms and their environments must be persevered. Regardless of our level of technology and civilization, we must be concerned about a carbon neutral foot print on the environment. There is an inseparable bond and reliance of humans to the natural world in which we and all plants and animals live. The health of ecosystems and balance of food chains are all related. Distorting this balance of nature is ultimately catastrophic. Wasting natural resources, polluting environments and our atmosphere are senseless acts when we can use new technologies to create clean energy alternatives that are sustainable and cost efficient. As stewards of this planet and it's environments, we must lead the way to a better future for the next generation of plants , animals and human beings. By practicing recycling habits, conservation of water and not polluting our environments we can all make a contribution. Clean water and clean air are essential and fundamental elements to sustain life on Earth. We can all play a part of this "clean planet" effort in our daily choices and habits by adopting clean practices. Clean energy development and implementation is an important portion of the solution for our future co-existence and we at GRTC want to be part of it.
