This is a model pump/turbine for a hydro scheme we built for the uni subject Engineering Design

  • The rig to test this unit had too many elbows and valves to be a true test. In addition the motor used as a load was too big and the shaft connection caused the turbine to bind, further impacting on performance. The turbine is a model of a larger unit and was a uni experiment - as far as I know we had the best set up during that semster.

  • Not enough static downfall to make it spin fast, normally you have to use a larger pipe on the in-feed and could use a bit more gravity to increase velocity and pressure of the water.

  • Not enough head or pressure for that type turbine. Turn the entire system vertical.Split the hose into four streams hitting horizontally spinning wheel at equidistant points. If permanent magnets were used no weight on unit would increase efficiency.

  • It has promise but unfortunately the video does not show it. over unity with trying smaller pumps could have possibly been achieved .

  • my son with lego can be build 10 times more efficent than this fuck

  • did you use a centrifugal pump as a turbine or the conventional turbine such as the Pelton or Francis turbines?

  • only i fu had higher pressure

    it wouldnt even produce anything the way it is now

  • i live in the mountains and i have a house in the river side, could you teel me wich material i need? i prefer this turbine than the old pelthon.

  • what are the materials in doing this?????????

    procedures???

  • Awesome, I get to do this next wednesday on the same rig!
