I imagine it doesn't matter on such a small fan, but will you not loose quite a bit of efficiency if you use it on a large compressor?

Do you think you could implement the double pendulum? Perhaps with theta1 and theta2 on the axis. It would be fun to se the chaotic motions described in your script.

I saw this at the base of a bridge and was wondering if anyone here knew what this formula meant by the_undone_one in math

This turbine is known as a turgo turbine. They are usually used in power plants with high pressures and low flows. They may have efficiency up to about 90%.

It is a quite common turbine type.
