Hey, As soon of you may know from a previous posting, I and three classmates are currently working on developing a low-cost, durable, locally constructable ...
I have a question to the group: Can we say that does the entrance angle is 16 degrees for all type of crossflow turbines (crossflow turbines that made by all...
During the last two weeks I came across various sites in South Africa (on the North East Escarpment) that may be ideal for hydropower. The owners of this land...
hi, yes it can change but if angle is small the constraction of nozzle is difficult. Some companies pradus turbine with angle of 12 even less to 8 degrees. ...
We have been building an a.t. Banki turbine based on the VITA design of around 1978. This has a 305 mm (1 foot)diameter wheel. The width is 280 mm. We are...
Hi Kenan, the 16º nozzle angle is for all sizes and models of Banki turbines. Other features like flow control device design, blade number, nozzle arc, etc.,...

I've managed to track this down. It was Dec 1982, not 84. The library only had B/W photocopier, so the pictures didn't come through very good, but the missing...
Some years ago I met a fellow in Vermont who was generating power and net metering (I think the power company knew about it) He was using a 3 phase motor which...
Hello! This is my first e-mail to the group. I'm dealing with hydropower since six months and i need to improve my knowledge on this topic. After a theoretical...
Dave: The method described by you is an standard method used to run 3 phase motors with single phase, the capacitor is used to generate the quasi-3 phase for ...
