This document describes an environmental project to create a 50 kW solar vortex power plant prototype in an African village for $2000 per kW. The project aims to develop the prototype design and test its effectiveness at delivering electricity to remote areas in a more efficient manner compared to conventional wind generators. It will be carried out by a team of engineers and physicists from Georgia, Germany, and France over 3 years with funding from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and Garber Foundation. The project will involve mathematical and computational modeling, laboratory testing, and field testing of 3 pilot samples to optimize the design and reduce costs before commercial production.

13. Quality management and performance
Defining quality management plans: check stage is scheduled for
analytical calculations, laboratory tests and field work on the testing of
three pilot samples as part of the competent commission of the leading
universities from Russia and Germany.
Tracking and controlling costs will be charged the committee of the two
participants in the investment process involving the project manager.
Tracking and monitoring compliance with the terms of the project
within 3 years will be charged audit committee at the fund Garber with
representatives of the German side.
14. Seven reasons to choose my project for year conditions:
1. Scalable from 1-5 kW to 50-100 kW at the expense only of the dimensions and use of the
diffuser.
Next up to 100 MW sharp rise in the volume of construction and other construction
conditions.
2. Slow start for moving and high resistance to storm the wind and the whirlwind up to 200
m/sec due to the pivot bearing.
3. The ability to easily relocate and compact, without any fastener elements through the use of
the lung membrane and composite materials.
4. High manufacturability of all parts, especially blades.
5. Low operating costs due to the use of inexpensive materials and an almost complete lack of
accumulation of condensate.
6. New generator with permanent magnets with the possibility of greater energy than produced
at the turbine shaft due to the large radius.
7. The versatility of working in two environments of the same design without special
modifications of the process of producing electric energy, due to the increased area of the
perception of the turbine blades of an air or hydraulic flow.
15. Consistently shown in the photographs in
certain types of stations at the top and bottom
of the vortex turbine guide in spiral wind flow.
16. The internal structure rising up station with spiral
vortex turbine and the view at the base, which
outlines the installation of electric generator.
17. Technology of the manufacturing and assembly
of the plant consists from three main stages:
the first is the installation of spiral guides, then
build on them and finally the building of the
station turbine unit.
18. The principle of operation of the station is based on the ranking
of the Brownian motion of molecules, in which case rotation in the
vortex established in the ejection direction of the nozzle
19. The ANSYS program performed pretreatment data for
calculating the capacity of air flow and positive results.
