PELTON TURBINE WITH GENERATOR
PELTON TURBINE WITH GENERATOR:
This is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. A turbine is a turbomachine with at least one moving part called a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor. Early turbine examples are windmills and waterwheels.
Specifications:
- The Pelton wheel is a water impulse turbine.
- Pelton wheels are the preferred turbine for hydro-power.
- When the available water source has relatively high hydraulic head at low flow rates.
- This operational model comprises a wheel with cups arranged radially along the periphery of wheel and in plane orthogonal to the wheel which is mounted directly on the shaft connected to a bicycle dynamo.
- The Pelton wheel is housed in clear acrylic casing and is moulded in plastic.
- Water jet falling on wheel cups rotates it, which makes the dynamo produce electricity.
