Objective
The Exploratory Award is used to establish a project proposal for investigating new windmill concepts. The funding is used to establish partnerships and project plan, and explore the technical feasibility, novelty and market potentials for the concepts. The final CRAFT Step 2 project proposal will investigate the efficiency, cost reduction, and environmental issues found in new wind turbine concepts for non-grid-connected power systems , by developing and testing small- and medium-sized wind mills, connected to water heaters, groundwater pumps and charging electric batteries. The new windmill concepts will be ideal for use in small, local communities in remote areas, as a supplement to unstable and expensive power grid systems, producing the energy where it is consumed. The new windmill will consist of:
a)a new inner turbine design, with elements from gas turbines;
b)a new mast design with the turbine hanging behind the mast;
c) a new bevel gear drive conversion design.
