Informations and news about water turbines. Innovation and useful information about water turbines.
What is turbine used for? Turbines, those enigmatic whirring machines, are the workhorses of our modern world. But beyond their impressive size and complex engineering lies a fundamental principle: converting the power of flowing fluids into usable energy. This simple concept, however, translates into a vast array of applications, impacting nearly every facet of our…
The initial wind turbine mounted at the 487MW SeaMade overseas wind job off the coast of Belgium has created very first power. DEME Offshore lately installed the initial 8.4 MW Siemens Gamesa wind turbine at the task in the Belgian North Sea, utilizing its DP2 offshore installation vessel Apollo. DEME’s cable television laying vessel Living…
Turgo Turbine was developed Gilkes Energy Company in 1919. The design of this impulse water turbine is inspired from Pelton turbine. The working principle of this turbine is same as other impulse water turbines. It converts the kinetic energy from the water jet into mechanical energy. The main difference between the Turgo and Pelton turbine is the…
Lester Allan Pelton designed an impulse water turbine in the 1870s and named it Pelton Turbine. Impulse water turbine converts the potential and kinetic energy of the impulses of moving water into the mechanical energy in order to rotate the water wheel. Water wheels are in used for centuries. Initially, they were mainly used to milling…
Prior to the widespread availability of commercial electric power, hydroelectric power was used for irrigation and operation of various machines, such as watermills, textile machines and sawmills. By using water for power generation, people have worked with nature to achieve a better lifestyle. The mechanical power of falling water is an old resource used for services and productive uses. It was used…
