Water leaving those wheels typically still had high speed, carrying away much of the dynamic energy brought to the wheels. Pelton's paddle geometry was designed so that when the rim ran at half the speed of the water jet, the water left the wheel with very little speed; thus his design extracted almost all of the water's impulse energy—which ...
Paddle wheel flowmeters (also known as Pelton wheel sensors) consist of three primary components: the paddle wheel sensor, the pipe fitting and the display/controller. The paddle wheel sensor consists of a freely rotating wheel/impeller with embedded magnets which are perpendicular to the flow and will rotate when inserted in the flowing medium.
Lester Allan Pelton (September 5, 1829 – March 14, 1908) was an American inventor who contributed significantly to the development of hydroelectricity and hydropower in the American Old West as well as world-wide. In the late 1870s, he invented the Pelton water wheel, at that time the most efficient design of the impulse water turbine.
The North Star Powerhouse, built by A. D. Foote in 1895, was the first complete plant of its kind. Compressed air, generated by Pelton water wheels, furnished power for the entire mine operation. The 30-foot Pelton wheel was the largest in the world, and was in continuous use for over 30 years.

Growing a paddle plant as a houseplant allows you to bring a paddle plant home anytime. However, paddle plants grown outdoors are best planted in the spring or summer. They make good accents and ...
Figure from Pelton's original patent (October 1880) Pelton wheel, circa 1880, built by the Miners Foundry. Edward Coker started the Nevada Iron Foundry and Machine Shop in 1855. [3] The ironworks foundry and blacksmith shop was situated in a rented building on Spring Street behind the National Exchange Hotel. [4]
