      Except he's wrong. Exactly backwards. It's using less current because the resistance in increasing. It's harder for the rotor to spin because there's lower pressure on the inside but full pressure at the outside trying to rush in backwards. If he put his hand on the blades it would have the same effect - current would go down. For a fixed voltage current will decrease as resistance increases.

The fewer work that field does the more current can flow. The impeller not being slowed down by incomming air means it does less work.

    • @peterrandall7657
      @peterrandall7657 Před 2 lety +5

      Compressor engineer here, the current decrease has all to do with "suction throttling". What's happening is the restriction of air flow restricts mass flow. And the total reduction of mass flow is greater than the increased compression work (specific work done on the air). With suction throttling the Inlet velocity at the eye of the impeller is reduced but the exit velocity is not (it is relational to rotational speed) so for every gram of air the compression work is going up just not as much as mass flow goes down.

    Just for fun, you could combine the fan and the separator: In the radial blower on the outside edge of the scroll, add some holes or slots/vanes that leads to another scroll. Heavy particles will flow on the outside of the stream dragging the wall (like in the cyclone), as a hole appears it will get flung out. Now this other area in the secondary scroll is kept at a slightly higher pressure than the main exhaust via a damper, otherwise pretty much all the air goes there. This flow is routed to an inertial separator, but the flow is lower and more concentrated so it could be more efficient and smaller. (Or just a big vacuum cleaner bag)
    If the impeller is subject to dust straight vanes are the best, but otherwise it would be fun to test the difference between backward and forward curved impeller vanes as they are more efficient.

    These impellers have names when used in hydroelectricity. The automotive turbo radial to axial or visa versa is a *Francis* turbine. The waterwheel type is a *Pelton* turbine and the complex with the six stages is a *Kaplan* sort (with hydroelectricity it is a single one). The Pelton is used when volume is low but the pressure is high (high up in the mountains). The Francis is used when volumes and pressures vary over a significant range. The Kaplan is used when there are huge amounts of flowing water but very weak pressures (Run-of-the-river hydroelectricity). Its all about stuffing limit and compressor stall and the depending efficiency in the compressor map.

    I just downloaded the free version of Fusion 360 a month ago. Videos like this are giving me the gumption to get more into it. At the turn of the century, I was modeling parts like this for Honeywell - Sky Harbor in Phoenix, formerly AlliedSignal/Garrett AirResearch technical illustrations. I used AutoCAD Mechanical Desktop 2000 to model axial and centrifugal compressor and turbine bllades. Although I was creating 2D technical illustrations, I was given a box of paper drawings that I used to create accurate 3D models. One of my crowning achievements was creating an accurate 3D assembly for the Honeywell/Rolls Royce LHTEC T800 engine, which had two centrifugal compressors and conventional axial turbine section. I imagine that aircraft maintainers are using my illustrations to maintain an APU used on the B2 Stealth Bomber.

    Cool stuff. Most turbomachines (non-positive displacement) reach peak pressure delta across them around their mid volume flow capacity. You could be quite far down the pressure capability in your static suction test. My bet is the turbocharger style would win out for suction per watt input. Your axial flow design has the most potential but you need pressure taps between each stage to ensure each one is doing its part. Did each stage have a different blade design?

  • @seancollins9745
    @seancollins9745 Před 2 lety +1

    On the turbo compressor, making the inducer to exducer ratio larger ie smaller inducer versus larger exducer will generally improve delta pressure across the housing. Increasingly positive blade rake helps, more positive curvature in discharge blades increases delt as does increasing the radius of transition of inducer exducer.
    Adding a venturi nozzle about 3 diameters above top of inducer helps backflow.

Reduced number of stages with fewer parts, lighter weight and compact length. The output side is usually a free turbine providing power to the shaft with reduction gearing. They have impressive power to weight ratios.

    We use those big “snail” blowers, as you call them, to move loose wool fibres around the factory. They work pretty well with straight blades on a conical body, to deflect the flow away from the centre. If you made the blades twice as wide, you would start to see some serious flow, with pretty good efficiency
    The reason we use them is because they’re beefy as hell, and they don’t get worn away by the wool too much (wool is amazingly abrasive).
    There’s no way to beat a multimillion dollar design like a commercially produced vacuum impeller, but it sure is fun as hell to try!

    Need more space between the rotor and stator vanes if you want the fan to be quiet. 3-5mm worked well in my experiments. Since the rotor is 3D printed, you can use a fully enclosed rotor instead of leaving the vanes open on top. Also, in my experiments tip speed correlated the most with pressure and noise. So you can half-ass the rotor, but still get great noisy performance if you spin it fast.

    Your axial linear design is the exact design a turbomolecular pump for ultra high vacuum uses.
    The difference in working principle is that yours pumps the air in a classical manner while a turbo pump transfers momentum from the spinning blades to remaining gas molecules which when bounce of the static blades to get to the bottom. Thus the blades have to move at the same velocity as the molecules. Defending on the gas you want to pump this means rotational speeds of between 20,000 and 90,000 rpm!

    Your test at 3 minutes in this video is very interesting and like water pump amperage in similar situations. But, it has been a long time since I had to think of that. You get my like and subscription for this video and I hope future videos like it.

    I used a 29€ handheld but battery-free vacuum with a 450W asynchronous motor and a power regulator socket that's sold as a speed conrtoller for pond pumps (15€). Now can regulate the power between 100 and 450W and have a sufficient vacuum for my 3018 at 100W. I also printed a cyclone for a bucket and if anything goes through I still have the cyclone and the hepa filter in the vacuum as a back up. It's not as quiet as a dyson but it is surprisingly strong (the bucket needs reinforcement to not buckle inwards above 350W)

    The slow mo of the plastic induction caused pandemonium was great. Think about what it takes to make the compressor section of a large aircraft turbine able to sustain bird strikes, even through the hot section.
