Modeling of Micro Turbine for Rapid Prototyping

A micro turbine is for harnessing energy from an airflow, which is generated by body motion. The energy is transformed into usable electrical energy and thus providing power for portable electrical devices. The turbine is flown axial and rotates in the same direction independent of the incoming airflow. This paper presents an overview of work performed to date on modeling of micro turbine for rapid prototyping that can automatically take solid models from computer Aided Design data in the form of stl, iges files.
