This section of a blade was installed as one of the prototype test turbines built by Peter South and Raj Rangi at NRC and installed on the roof of the National Aeronautics Establishment. It was used to test blades for commercially viable VAWTs. Cette section de la pale éolienne était installée comme une des turbines prototypes construit par Peter South et Raj Rangi au NRC. Les pales étaient installées sur le toit de l'établissement Nationale Aéronautique pour tester les lames des éoliennes à axe vertical (VAWT) et voir s'ils pouvaient être introduit sur le marché.
Function
This blade was used on a test turbine to study how wind energy could be converted into electrical energy. Cette pale éolienne était utilisée sur une turbine d’essai pour étudier comment l’énergie éolienne pouvait être converti a de l’énergie électrique.
Technical
This artifact was made by DAF as a prototype of a commercial wind turbine. This section features spring-loaded spoilers mounted at a point mid-length on each blade. These were to act as breaks to limit the maximum speed of the rotor and prevent structural failure in high winds. They would be automatically deployed by centrifugal force when the blades reached maximum speed. For details see HA on Wind energy by S. Board. L'objet est un prototype fabriqué par le DAF avec le but de construire de pales éoliennes commerciales. Cette section à un divulgâcheur à ressort de rappel installer au milieu de chaque lame. Ila fonctionnait pour freiner ou limiter la vitesse maximale du rotor pour la prévention de la défaillance structurale pendant les périodes de vent fort. Les freins étaient déployés automatiquement par de la force centrifuge quand les lames atteignaient leur vitesse maximale. Pour plus de détails voir le HA pour l'énergie Éolienne du Conseil D'administration S.

Finish
A flat silver coloured rectangular artifact made of metal. It has two pieces of sheet metal on its proper left side that rotate on metal hinges with the help of two metal springs. The sheets of metal are bent at an angle. They are also are held in place with the help of metal screws as well as metal bars. A white sticker with handwriting is visible in the middle of the artifact. Un objet de couleur argent qui est plat et construit en métal en forme rectangulaire. Il y a deux feuilles en métal sur son bon côté gauche qui sont tenues en place avec de charnières en métal et des ressorts. Les feuilles en métal sont pliés à un angle et sont tenus en place avec des tiges et des vises en métal. Un autocollant blanc avec de l'écriture à la main est visible au milieu de l'artefact.
