Magenn Power, Inc.

2012: ???


Nov. 28, 2011  [ ] A friend of mine said he recently attended an auction of Magenn stuff in San Francisco area. I checked their web page and although It has not been updated in a few months it's still up. The contact number in California rings disconnected and the one in Ontario hits a generic answering machine message.

Does anyone know what's up? If anything? 

Notes:



2. Why not hydrogen instead of helium?

3. A confusion of terms. The understanding of "HAWT" has axis of rotation windward.  The H is for horizontal as wind usually flows parallel with the horizon.   Darrieus described axis of rotation of his devices as traverse to the flow lines and his first preferred embodiments had place the rotational axis from ground toward zenith in a common-language vertical position; following from that came a VAWT for such as eggbeater and H-Darrieus. The axis for the Darrieus need only be traverse to the stream, but can be at any clock angle when so being traverse; this allows for the traverse axis optionally to be placed at the parallel to the horizon in a horizontal position; yet such option does not win the HAWT designation, only still the VAWT designation.  Unfortunately in the patent description in Magenn, there might be some confusion.   The blimpy Magenn rotatable kytoon is a tethered LTA VAWT with axis traverse to the flow and with axis of rotation set parallel to the horizon traverse to the flow where, because of form, the Magnus-effect occurs to add some lift in addition to the lift of the LTA gases.

4. Magenn in 2009 is working out a stability challenge for its toroid-ended low-aspect-ratio kytoon.  A beard may be involved.
