Turbine design for fruit hoover
Turbine design for fruit hoover
(OP)
Lo,
I'm trying to design a turbine or a fan able to "hoove" fruits at the end of a flexible pipeline with a nose of diameter 150/200mm --> 60/78".
My speed should be at least 30 m/s.
I'm really stuck with that and i can't find out where could i find the litterature for that!!
If sombody can help me...Thank you !

RE: Turbine design for fruit hoover
If I've understood you correctly you would like to make a device for "vacuuming" some fruit. Idea is rather interesting. Hopefully you won’t do that directly from a plant (tree) or you will end with more leaves than fruits.
For vacuuming definitely you need a fan not necessarily a turbine (term turbine is used for power producing feature which may be used to power your fan). The other thing is intake diameter. You scared North American colleagues with the dimensions in inches. Those figures should read 6.0/7.8” because they correspond quite well to 150/200mm (by the way 78” is almost 2 meters - 2000mm).
And finally I was able to find only one site about fruit vacuuming; some neat lady is vacuuming fallen fruit in her garden using industrial vacuum cleaner: www.rebeccasgarden.com/tips/items/98ipuf11.htm - 13k
