For example, when fluid passes over a solid body, the streamlines get closer together, the flow velocity increases, and the pressure decreases. Airfoils are designed so that the flow over the top ...
What if you don’t put airfoils on a central, spinning axis, but instead have them careen around a circular track? If you’re a company called Airloom, you’d say that it’s a very cheap ...
From commercial aircraft to soda cans, aluminum is a large part of our daily lives. The mass production of aluminum-based products can be attributed to its lightweight nature and durability ...
Lift is produced using four or more airfoils on each of the two cycloidal rotors. At the top and bottom of rotation they have a positive angle of attack, with a neutral angle on the sides.
Dr. Gomes' current research interests are in fields of: dynamics and design of tethered airfoils (kites) for energy production locomotion mechanics mechanical energy storage systems engineering ...
