I've no idea if I am doing this right but here goes anyway. Thanks very much for the advice, I had a sneaky suspicion it would crash and burn but at least now I won't have Russian Energy Gangsters knocking on my door. Cheers.

What does it mean or am I being dumb - I am English!

Hi I've had an idea for a self-powered turbine but I know about as much about engineering as I do about putting on make-up. Here's the idea and if anyone can tell me if it's the greatest invention since the knife and fork - genius, but I still have trouble eating soup - or the crazed machinations of an intellectual ameeba (I don't think I've spelled that right) I would be very grateful. We have a large central rotating column, attached to which are 8 arms reaching out. On the end of each arm is a circular frame. Each circular frame has a large fan in the centre with 8 smaller fans spread equally around the circumference. The central column is given an initial spin and with this the 72 fans start to turn. The energy created by the 8 large fans is used to keep turning the central column with the energy produced by the 64 smaller fans being usable energy. If this makes any sense to anyone, is this possible? I presume it's a simple question of, will the 8 large fans produce enough energy to turn the central column? Of course, this machine could work anywhere, anytime as it does not require wind, it uses drag - I think. Any help with what I have called the Octurbine would be greatly appreciated. All the best. jambul P.S. What is a tag? I'm new to this forum stuff.
