The GUNT HM 170.70 Wind Power Plant with Rotor Blade Adjustment, used with the HM 170 wind tunnel, allows demonstration of a wind turbine with adjustable rotor blades and a variable-speed generator. The turbine is connected to the wind tunnel, where an axial fan with variable speed provides the required airflow. A flow straightener ensures consistent and low-turbulence conditions. The generator is driven directly by a 3-blade rotor, and a servo motor adjusts the rotor blade angles. The wind turbine is mounted on a tower for stable operation.
