2. Pico hydro - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico_hydro

   A pico hydro system made by the Sustainable Vision project from Baylor University [1]. Pico hydro is a term used for hydroelectric power generation of under 5 kW. These generators have proven to be useful in small, remote communities that require only a small amount of electricity – for example, to power one or two fluorescent light bulbs and a TV or radio in 50 or so homes.

3. Water turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_turbine

   The runner of the small water turbine. A water turbine is a rotary machine that converts kinetic energy and potential energy of water into mechanical work. Water turbines were developed in the 19th century and were widely used for industrial power prior to electrical grids. Now, they are mostly used for electric power generation.

4. Micro hydro - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_hydro

   Micro hydro in northwest Vietnam. Micro hydro is a type of hydroelectric power that typically produces from 5 kW to 100 kW of electricity using the natural flow of water. . Installations below 5 kW are called pico hydr

5. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). In electricity generation, a generator, also called an electric generator, electrical generator, and electromagnetic generator is an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy for use in an external circuit.

6. Gorlov helical turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorlov_helical_turbine

   The Gorlov helical turbine (GHT) is a water turbine evolved from the Darrieus turbine design by altering it to have helical blades/foils. Water turbines take kinetic energy and translate it into electricity. It was patented in a series of patents from September 19, 1995 [1] to July 3, 2001 [2] and won 2001 ASME Thomas A. Edison.

7. Steffturbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffturbine

   The Steffturbine is driven by the potential energy of the water, it operates like an overshot water wheel. It comprises a conveyor chain equipped with profiled paddles circulating around two wheels. These wheels are arranged so that the flowing water drives the conveyor chain on an inclined plane. [2] Different turbine inclinations are possible.
