Deriaz turbine. The Deriaz turbine, presented by engineer Paul Deriaz, was the first diagonal hydraulic pump-turbine to be designed. [1] [2] In contrast to most hydraulic machines, the flow in a Deriaz turbine does not follow a full axial nor radial direction but is a diagonal mixture of the two.
Since the turbine is spinning, the force acts through a distance (work) and the diverted water flow is left with diminished energy. An impulse turbine is one in which the pressure of the fluid flowing over the rotor blades is constant and all the work output is due to the change in kinetic energy of the fluid.
A schematic presentation of a gravitation water vortex power plant, showing the turbine in yellow. 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).
A water wall turbine's large rotating blade structure moves slower than the current, “blocking” the flow. In doing so, it causes head pressure to build up across the turbine, hydraulically propagated over the total vertical submerged blade. The turbine's catamaran-style floats use the Venturi effect to channel and accelerate the useable ...
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.
Marketed as part of a hydropower system that extracts power from the flow of water, the turbine is mounted below a raft, driving a power system, typically a lift irrigation pump or generator, on top of the raft by belt or gear. [2] [3] [4] The turbine is towed into the middle of a river or stream, where the flow is the fastest, and tied off to ...

A cross-flow turbine, Bánki-Michell turbine, or Ossberger turbine [1] is a water turbine developed by the Australian Anthony Michell, the Hungarian ...
A screw turbine at a small hydro power plant in Goryn, Poland. The Archimedean screw is an ancient invention, attributed to Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC.), and commonly used to raise water from a watercourse for irrigation purposes.
