                Minix - an answer to energy efficiency |  I  can assure you, this is not the name of this free software familiar to  scientists whose name was created from a merger of two words: mph nimes and U/nix Andrew  S. Tanenbaum, or even a new character's last film "Asterix /Obelix at the  Olympic Games", but simply a contraction of three images:a minimum,  "i", and "x".
 The  "i" means induction, training of a fluid by another fluid commonly  called vortex,
 The  "x" is the drive letter of drag, resulting in this vortex, which  opposes force in the advancement offset by traction / propulsion. In the case  of an airplane, only the wings are affected by this problem (33% of the total  drag) hand in the case of a wind turbine is the comprehensiveness of the blades  is concerned.
 At last results: total aircraft 6%, 18% only wings aircraft and 14% for blades wind turbines.
 
 
 When you think vortex you always think of  something very powerful like cyclones, hurricanes, storms, tornadoes and  typhoons that are ravage wherever they go. In the field of water these are also  commonly known as vortex whirls or malstroms sailors. All this boils down to  whenever a vacuum is created especially in the air a few times it leaves  indelible traces. The one who interests us is a vortex of the wing or blades  manufactured by us.
 The creation of the marginal wing-tip  vortex or blade is necessarily caused by three pressures. The first is the  element in which the wing moves (air pressure local) the second and third are  caused by the
 passage of the first on the top and  underside of the wing (depression and overpressure) giving a lift with a  positive incidence. As nature abhors a vacuum, these two pressures want to join  because of opposite density and the fact that the wing ahead,  "self-feeding" in a very dense spiral motion starting from the  trailing edge, which then relaxes far downstream.

                Aeronautical gains of Minix |  The Minix has a cylindrical shape and  compact whose entry to the leading edge resembles a goose feather cut. It is  followed by slot (s) helical (s) along its entire length.
 With a little gross wing area (full  surface in contact with the fluid), twice as light as a winglet, his attachment  to the wing tip is very simple, inexpensive, and the total weight of its  attachment added to the device should not exceed 1/3 of a fixation current  standard.
 Given its shape, as compared to cutting  efforts roll / yaw, slip, slide and other areas of flight, the reader will have  no difficulty in understanding and imagining an airplane that would be  equipped. The Minix becomes so important when we talk about pollution, safety  or economy, in fact, currently the parking transport aircraft represents about  20,000 copies in the world, more than 2,5 billion passengers are planned in and  2010 on pollution, 8% of the world's oil consumption in 2006, multiplied by  three gives you tonnes of CO2!
 A study was made by David Anderson, Director of Boeing commercial service, 
      that is in gallons fuel per year, 1% drag on each 
      type of aircraft group (conversion liters, tons and CO2 were calculated 
      and then added for a better reality of pollution):
 BOEING  747 = 100.000  gallons = 378.541 litres =  302,8 T x 3,1 = 938,6 T de CO2
 BOEING  777 =  70.000   gallons = 264.978 litres = 211,9 T x 3,1 =  656,8 T de CO2
 BOEING  767 =  30.000   gallons = 113.562 litres =   90,8 T x 3,1 = 281,4 T de CO2
 BOEING  757 =  25.000   gallons =    94.635 litres =   75,7 T  x 3,1 = 234,6 T de CO2
 BOEING  727 =  30.000   gallons = 113.562 litres =   90,8 T x 3,1 = 281,4 T de CO2
 BOEING  737 =  15.000   gallons =   56.781 litres =   45,4 T x 3,1 = 140,7 T de CO2
 According to the latest defence Aerospace  & News Headlines "24300 planes add are expected by the next 20 years!  Utopia! We can all increase… Except increase the diameter of our dear planet!  The excitement of this machine to make money and make their flight hours begins  to give vertigo. How do I solve this problem of unique demographics?  Halting aerial traffic… It is almost impossible, the increasing curve is 5%  cumulative annual and transportation by air has become commonplace. Side  so much so that it is possible to make a trip  to the other of Europe for only 30 €…In any scenario Minix can make life more  enjoyable for our present and future pilots by providing greater security for  routing (AWY) and the protection zones for the climb and descent of the  aircraft to the airport (TMA) area where the concentration of air traffic is  highest.
 You should know that a kilo of kerosene produces  3.1 Kg CO2. The Minix technology already makes to in final testing 6% gains at  Mach 0.8 (speed commonly used by transport aircraft). 2008 will give rise to new  tests on a new and improved Minix with hopefully even better results on the  increase in the lift to drag (L/D) ratio and the total decrease in the vortex.  With or without oil this device can also contribute to sustainable development  by reducing the rate of CO2 focusing on the area of renewable energy such as  wind turbine or submarine hydro turbines, an area which has the advantage of  operating without the influence of certain drag types that affect aircraft.

                Gains of Minix on wind turbine energy |  How manufactures can use Minix technology for  increasing energy output ?
 Taking the example of kerosene aircraft,  the gain autonomy % = gain drag % for a parallel shift in relative wind ie that  the aircraft moves by itself in a fluid air, almost inert. Wind is different,  there is no relative wind, but a real wind blowing perpendicular to the wings  (blades) and not parallel. In the first case the wind is relative while on the  other the wind is active.
 In both cases we use profiles, either wing  or blades with different equations but the result is the same:
 The drag is represented by a vortex and the  Minix technology works the same way.
 The last Minix testing in March 2008 on a  standard wind turbine gave very encouraging results. The old version gives 7 to  14% of earnings for low speeds at speeds of 10m/s. Recent improvements on the  design are expected to reach nearly 20% gain max!
 The percentage gain with Minix on wind  turbine blades is reflected in the following manner :
 - Economise  material for the manufacture of the blades
 -  Lower wind start up speed
 -  Noise reduction
 -  Energy efficiency constant throughout the year in proportion to the% gain.
 -  Installation and selection of farms on site easier and more numerous
 -  Reduction of noise levels for sea-life in the North Sea.
 -  Legal issues reduced with ecologist associations
 -  Installation of Minix can be done by "rétrofits", ie they can easily  equip old wind turbines already on site, by sectioning off the tip.

                Forecast of the wind energy to 2010 |  Bonn / Buenos Aires / Cape Town / Melbourne / New Delhi (WWEA) - Wind energy has continued its dynamic growth in  the world in the year 2006. 14,900 MW have been added in the past year in summing  up an installed capacity of 73,904 MW by the end of December 2006. The capacity  is equivalent to adding a growth rate of 25%, compared with 24% in 2005. The  currently installed wind capacity generates over 1% of world consumption of  electricity.
 Based on the accelerated development, WWEA  increased its forecast for 2010 and now expects to install 160000 MW by the end  of 2010.

                Minix gains on other applications |  The vortex in the air, cavitation in the  water, 14 applications are possible with this technology. Minix can equip wind  turbine submarine, rudders, stabilizers boat control surfaces depths  submarines, the hydrofoils, the ailerons, the rotor system LIPP, ect…
 Minix also works on the race cars F1  reverse positioned at the front and rear wingtip, giving a lift and a contrary progress faster in proportion to  its speed. The result is increased downforce for the car with less drag  therefore faster.
