The laboratory turbine setup includes:
- A DC motor-driven rotor
- A microcontroller-based control system
- Adjustable speed control via potentiometer
- RPM monitoring displayed on an LCD screen
This configuration enables controlled turbine rotation for laboratory experiments and testing.
The original turbine model was adapted to support:
- Laboratory experiments under controlled conditions
- Integration of a stepper motor drive system
- Sensor mounting and RPM monitoring
- Structural reinforcement
- Compatibility with the DORBINE wind turbine inspection system
