In a vertical hybrid turbine with a shaft bearing holder on one side, it has a shaft deflection problem that interferes with turbine performance. This study aims to improve the design of the turbine holder. The methodology used in this study is to analyse the deflection behaviour of the turbine when rotating. Next in the turbine design review, and the result is to increase the distance of the shaft holder bearings and increase the bearing diameter in the triangular frame. Deflection testing with the help of tracker software that’s able to measure deflection distance in one field when the shaft rotates. The results of the deflection comparison before and after the design improvement show a significant deflection reduction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
