Since pumping surges are greater at some of the low flows used by the Pelton wheel, you may want to open a larger flow through another section of the lab. Set the needle valve at a partly open ...

Pelton Wheel [Frédéric Waltzing] is lucky enough to have access to a 135 foot (38 metre) head of water that those of us in flatter environments could only dream of. He’s used it to generate ...

The design challenge for turbine flow meters, based on the working principles of this type of radial turbine, is primarily straightforward: simple electronics versus complex precision engineering. In ...

[Kris] Started the build with a Pelton wheel sourced from everyone’s favorite online auction site paired with an inexpensive MPPT charge controller designed for use with solar panels. Eventually ...
