OSTI ID:6465358
An air turbine accepting bi-directional flow and featuring counter-rotating turbine wheels is described. The turbine is for use with an oscillating water column and an air chamber to form a wave energy converter. Plans are presented for testing the turbine in a steady-state manner so as to obtain output torque and mass flow as functions of operational parameters. Additional tests will evaluate the rotary inertia of the turbine and generator, and determine the torque requirements of the generator. Concurrent modelling studies are described which will lead to the design of an optimized airchamber.
