Turgo Turbine was developed Gilkes Energy Company in 1919. The design of this impulse water turbine is inspired from Pelton turbine. The working principle of this turbine is same as other impulse water turbines. It converts the kinetic energy from the water jet into mechanical energy. The main difference between the Turgo and Pelton turbine is the…
Lester Allan Pelton designed an impulse water turbine in the 1870s and named it Pelton Turbine. Impulse water turbine converts the potential and kinetic energy of the impulses of moving water into the mechanical energy in order to rotate the water wheel. Water wheels are in used for centuries. Initially, they were mainly used to milling…
Prior to the widespread availability of commercial electric power, hydroelectric power was used for irrigation and operation of various machines, such as watermills, textile machines and sawmills. By using water for power generation, people have worked with nature to achieve a better lifestyle. The mechanical power of falling water is an old resource used for services and productive uses. It was used…
