Between 2004 and 2010, [1] Lodewyk Botha and Marek Sredzki developed an inflow turbine that captures water's potential energy in addition to its kinetic energy. Principal patents [2] [3] for the technology were registered and published between 2005 and 2011. The first full-scale water wall turbine project was completed in 2016 by Water Wall ...
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.
Segner-wheel: A – water inlet, B – vertical tube with rotor, C – rotor with nozzles (side view), D – rotor with nozzles ("top" view), E – hole in the ground, F – belt-pulley transmission, G – powered device. The Segner wheel or Segner turbine is a type of water turbine invented by Johann Andreas Segner in the 18th century. [1]
Different turbine inclinations are possible. Water is fed to the Steffturbine through an inlet channel. The inflow of water loads the paddles. The power thus exerted onto the paddles causes the chain, which is mounted to run on roller bearings, to move. In turn, the circulating chain imparts a rotational motion to the drive wheels.
The gravitation water vortex power plant is a type of micro hydro vortex turbine system which converts energy in a moving fluid to rotational energy using a low hydraulic head of 0.7–3 metres (2 ft 4 in – 9 ft 10 in). This technology is based on a round basin with a central drain. Above the drain, the water forms a stable line vortex which ...

The Kouris Centri Turbine was conceived in 1975 by Greek-Australian barrister, Paul Kouris, whilst he was a law student at Monash University. [3] [4] He kept the idea of this turbine secret for more than twenty years and during that period, he developed it with the assistance of engineers, until it became publicly known in 1996.
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.
