Nature’s Wind Turbines: The Measured Aerodynamic Efficiency of Spinning Seeds Approaches Theoretical Limits

This paper describe a procedure to measure experimentally the power coefficient, [Formula: see text] , of winged seeds, and apply this technique to seeds from the Norway maple (Acer platanoides). We measure [Formula: see text] at a tip speed ratio of [Formula: see text]. Our results are in agreement...
