Intro Fawt SILO
I came up with this idea few years back but never attempted to make it real until now.
It is simply directing the wind using multi deflectors in a stack pattern with a funnel shape Silo at the bottom to direct the wind to a lift based propeller that is fixed on axis.
I have been doing minor testing with a prototype, maybe i should upload all testing as i go, video and photos what do you think!!.. I will also use my Forum to post updates.
Until then
test well
