Pelton turbine

This Pelton turbine uses the principle of bucket turbines used in hydroelectric power plants.
The turbine is mounted on a crystal plexiglass casing, making it perfectly visible from all angles.
An opening located on the upper part of the casing and in line with the buckets allows the introduction of a stream of water to ensure efficient drive.
The motor driven by the turbine is connected to 2 secure 4 mm banana plugs to measure the voltage or power a dipole to study energy conversion.

In order to have optimal operation of the Pelton turbine, the maximum kinetic energy of the water must be transmitted to the turbine.
At the turbine outlet, the water velocity should be nearly zero, with the turbine speed reaching half the speed of the water stream.
