Ignorant here, handle with care. Is it possible to use pedaling force in a turbine? I'd like to try different approaches just for curiosity.

- johngalt 13y agoTechnically the definition of a turbine means something powered by a working fluid or gas. So it's akin to asking 'could we have a human powered windmill?' By definition you can't. Assuming you mean something along the lines of a small shrouded propeller. There are aerodynamics at work here that involve trade-offs. Generally larger slower props are more efficient at low speeds.
