N2 - An indoor-scale experimental model of artificial vortex power generator has been designed and tested. The model consists of four main components which are collector, tower, guide walls, and heating system. The collector and tower are constructed from poly-methyl methacrylate material. Both collector and tower are translucent allowing flow visualization experiments with laser and smoke to be performed for experimental characterization. The experimental model converts the supplied thermal energy into kinetic energy in form of updraft vortex airflow. Magnitude of the artificial updraft vortex is measured using a fan installed at the center of the tower. Rotational speed of the fan is measured by using a high-speed camera. The results show that the experimental model capable to rotate the fan up to 200 rpm.
