	Propeller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A propeller is a device which provides thrust for propulsion of a vehicle such as an airplane, ship, or submarine though a fluid such as water or air, by rotating two or more twisted blades about a central shaft, in a manner analogous to rotating a screw though a solid.
		However, the blades of a propeller don't push directly on the fluid, but rather act as rotating wings, and produce force via Bernoulli's principle, generating a difference in pressure from the forward and rear surfaces of the airfoil-shaped blades.
		Contra-rotating propellers involve a second propeller rotating in the opposite direction immediately 'downstream' of the main propeller so as to recover energy lost in the swirling motion of the air in the propeller slipstream.

		Since this is an extremely inefficient regime in which to operate the propeller, it means that most propellers are fitted with mechanisms to allow variable pitch – coarse pitch for high speed flight and fine pitch for climbing or accelerating at lower speeds.
		James Watt of Birmingham, England is generally credited with applying the very first screw propeller to an engine albeit an early steam engine, so the idea of engine propulsion utilising a propeller was born.
		The airfoil shape of modern aircraft propellers was pioneered by the Wright brothers.

	Propeller
		As the relative air speed at the blade is rotation speed plus axial speed, a propeller blade will reach sonic speed sometime before the rest of the aircraft (with a theoretical blade the maximum aircraft speed is about 845 km/h (Mach 0.7) at sea-level, in reality it is rather lower).
		More air is taken in and the fan therefore operates at a efficiency equivalent to a larger unducted propeller, noise is also reduced by the ducting and should a blade become detached the duct would contain the damage.
		He had tested, and rejected, the screw-propeller and it was not until the 1830s that the propeller came to be used, at first in mixed paddle and propeller designs (vide the 1858 Great Eastern).

		On an aircraft the propeller is an airfoil much like the wing of an aircraft except that the of the airfoil varies along the length the blade however any point on the describes a helix as it moves through the air.
		Very high efficiency propellers are similar in section to a low drag wing and as such are poor operation when at other than their optimum of attack.
		However with a propeller at a pitch of 45° at low flight speeds the of attack will be high possibly high to stall the aircraft.

		A wind turbine, windmill or wind generator is a device for converting wind power to mechanical rotation with a low velocity turbine designed for compressible fluids.
		As a general rule, wind generators are practical where the average windspeed is greater than 12 mph (19 kph).
		Wind power is practical in most areas of the North American great plains, and the central Eurasian plains, as well as selected ridges of major mountain-chains.

		Wind turbines capture the wind's energy with two or three propeller-like blades, which are mounted on a rotor, to generate electricity.
		Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid or even combined with a photovoltaic (solar cell) system.
		For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large number of turbines are usually built close together to form a wind farm.

		The most desirable generators are the ones with the lowest rated rpm since it will lower the wind speed at which the generator starts to put out usable power.
		In higher wind speeds this prop has put out 3 kiloWatts but the generator isn't capable of this amount of sustained power so the governor is adjusted to limit the output to 1700 Watts.
		The generator is always fully loaded which maximizes the output and limits the governor wear and tear.

	Science Fair Wind Generators
		Some wind generators produce alteranting current (AC), in this case the component is an 'alternator.' Wind machines that produce direct current use a 'generator.' In both cases, however, the electricity is produced by magnets moving quickly past coils of wire--or coils of wire moving quickly past magnets.
		In a wind generator, the flat sides of the blades face into the wind, and the airfoil sides face away from the wind, the OPPOSITE of an airplane propellor.

		This generator is a little different to the accepted type of windmill (ie a propeller), but has a number of advantages.
		The actual electricity generation would be by the use of an alternator (possibly from a car) connected to one end of the spindle.

		BASIC ANATOMY In it's simplest form, a generator or alternator is merely a coil of wire passing through a magnetic field, as follows: Figure 1: Generator When our coil of wire passes through a magnetic field voltage is induced in that coil (suffice it to say that this is something akin to magic).
		The current generating coils of wire are called the armature in a generator and the stator in an alternator.
		An alternator is an inside-out generator: the field, or rotor, rotates in the stationary generating coils, or the stator.

		The other drawback is that when the wind changes direction, a 2 blade prop tends to vibrate quite a bit while turning.
		We have very gusty winds, the direction changes frequently so it is difficult for me to offer specifics on output vs wind speed.
		It is possible that a regulator could be made with a matching transformer or possibly a linear current booster that would better match the load to the alternator and provide significantly more output, I've not tried this yet.
