Archimedes Rose Model for Miniature Spiral Wind Turbines The Archimedes Rose Model for Miniature Spiral Wind Turbines brings a mathematically driven spiral geometry to smallscale turbine design. It translates the Archimedes rose curve into a compact blade and hub form that is suited to miniature and hobbyist spiral wind turbines, providing a clear design foundation for bettercontrolled airflow and consistent manufacturing. Key benefits Purposedriven geometry: Uses the Archimedes rose curve to define spiral blades that guide airflow predictably in confined, lowReynoldsnumber conditions typical of miniature turbines. Simplifies prototyping: Provides a ready geometry to accelerate model development so you can move from idea to physical prototype faster. Consistent replication: The design supports repeated builds with consistent blade shape and orientation, reducing trialanderror and streamlining tuning. Versatile integration: Intended for use with a variety of smallscale turbine frames and hobbyist mounting systems. What makes it unique Mathematical basis: The Archimedes rose curve gives the model a repeatable spiral form unlike conventional straight or helical blades. Miniature focus: Scaled and shaped specifically for small turbines, rather than copied down from largescale rotor concepts that do not translate well to micro or modelscale airflow. Designfirst approach: Contact points and blade progression are defined to facilitate easy adaptation into prototype assemblies. Key attributes Functionality: Defines blade geometry and hub layout optimized for spiral flow guidance on miniature rotors; suitable as a primary design or a replacement component in small builds. Compatibility: Intended for miniature spiral wind turbine projects, hobbyist models, educational kits, and small research prototypes. Can be adapted to common small motor shafts and model frames with standard mounting practices. Size: Scaled for miniature applications; exact dimensions depend on the chosen build scale and mounting arrangement. Material and manufacturing: The model can be realized using typical prototyping and modelmaking materials and methods suitable for miniature parts (for example, lightweight plastics, resins, or smallscale metal fabrication), depending on your chosen workflow. Performance: Designed to produce coherent spiral flow patterns at small scale, aiding steady rotation and predictable behavior in lowwind or laboratory conditions. Use cases Educational demonstrations: Use the model in classrooms or workshops to demonstrate spiral flow, rotor geometry, and smallscale wind energy concepts with clear, repeatable examples. Prototype development: Integrate the Archimedes Rose geometry into research or hobby prototypes to compare spiral blade performance against conventional smallblade designs. Model making and displays: Build compact kinetic sculptures, scale models, or functional display turbines where a distinctive spiral blade form is desired. What you will get (design intent) A purposebuilt spiral blade and hub configuration intended to serve as the geometric basis for miniature spiral wind turbines. A model that reduces guesswork in blade shaping and mounting, enabling faster iteration and more consistent test results. Technical considerations Scaling: The model is intended to be scaled appropriately for your application; performance will vary with size, rotational speed, and local airflow conditions. Mounting: Standard smallshaft mounting and balancing practices are recommended when installing the model in a rotor assembly. Testing: Validate airflow and rotational behavior in your expected operating conditions (wind tunnel, fan rigs, or field tests) to finetune pitch, spacing, and balance.
