Tidal/river turbine rotor 500 mm, 7 blades, rounded tips and 20° skew
Model designed and computed with the Heliciel software. Design point: 2 m/s current, 191 rpm (tip speed ratio 2.5). Seven blades with rounded tips and 20° skew: high torque at low speed.
The pack contains the complete propeller as a full-definition STL with root fillet, STEP surfaces (complete propeller and one blade), the Heliciel .hlc project and the computation records.

This model was designed and computed with the Heliciel software. For a custom propeller there are two ways: the Heliciel software (Windows: computation, 3D view, STL and STEP exports), and the Heliciel MCP connector, which lets your AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, Le Chat and any MCP client — compute a real propeller, with a free 1-day discovery pass.
