Cool, good to hear you have already been checking on this stuff.

One thing with RC is that most people do wreck these things so make sure the turbine if plastic or foam is able to withstand some abuse or is protected. So have you tried any wind testing to see if this turbine will even produce enough power at the speeds these RC run?

Check weight and size of turbine and related systems as you really want this in the center of the vehicle so to keep things fairly stable in corners. Putting this on the side of a car would obviously change it's handling.

Ducting is very important. A one way duct will still back up if it has no outlet and of course cause more drag. In order to keep drag adding up even with an input and outlet duct you almost need a tube through the whole thing so air does not wander in the body of the car. Good for cooling but is drag.

So is this going to provide additional current to the systems or actually try to charge the battery / batteries? Of course I think the first is the way to go but just my opinion.

Anyhow, glad you are already working on it and hope it comes together for you!! Good to see some initiative and learning taking place!! [8D]
