Could someone point me to a freshman level explanation (Reynolds Number,
L/D and D=1/2(pCdAV**2)) of why tiny turbines are more efficient? Does
anyone know of any cool aero math modeling sites? Like, say, a Java
implementation of the Barrowman CP model?

Thanks,

MMB

Glad to be writing about something slightly on-topic again... :)
