FEATURED EXAMPLE: West KERS Turbine Apparatus and Assembly
The West KERS offers a significant advancement in turbine technology.
The presence of a drive turbine and a pump turbine on a common shaft reduces/ removes blockage that would be generated in conventional turbine apparatus
This advancement makes the West KERS superior for the recovery of energy in a variety of settings and maximizes the energy that can be harnessed through the pressure differential created across the turbine.
How it works
- Drive Turbine and Pump Turbine fixed to a common shaft
- Fluid strikes Drive Turbine
- Drive Turbine rotates
- Pump Turbine rotates since it is fixed to the same shaft as the Drive Turbine
- Rotation of the Pump Turbine creates negative pressure
- Increased mass, fluid flow induced by negative pressure created by the Pump Turbine
- Increased mass, fluid flow induces increased rotation of the Drive Turbine
- Increased rotation of the Drive Turbine induces increased rotation of the Pump Turbine
- Process continues to equilibrium
