Abstract

Some calibraton results of the K-Gill propeller vane are discussed. The propellers static and dynamic response were determined. The two propellers show perfect linearity in calibration factor. Starting speed is found less than 0.18 ms-1. Response lengths of the propellers is 2.5 m. effective response in K-Gill configuration is 3.3 m. A new function for propeller response to a drop to zero in wind speed is suggested.
