The Turgo turbine is an impulse type turbine; water does not change pressure as it moves through the turbine blades. The water's potential energy is converted to kinetic energy with a nozzle. The high speed water jet is then directed on the turbine blades which deflect and reverse the flow. The resulting impulse spins the turbine runner, imparting energy to the turbine shaft. Water exits with very little energy. Turgo runners may have an efficiency of over 90%.

A Turgo runner looks like a Pelton runner split in half. For the same power, the Turgo runner is one half the diameter of the Pelton runner, and so twice the specific speed. The Turgo can handle a greater water flow than the Pelton because exiting water doesn't interfere with adjacent buckets.

    Good video.
    If the Pelton turbine was enclosed in a close fitting housing, would it increase efficiency?

    im thinkin of a self sustaining generator can this run a submersible pump so the water from pump goes to the nozzle to run itself

    eccelent video, I also would like to know where to buy the blades, what energy output from the generator.

  • the water pressure ...

    the water pressure must be obtained with a jump of a stream.
    We must put a tube of adequate size and strength.
    I have 60 meters of head. So I have about 6 bar.

    You can not use a pump to put pressure on the water.
    ENERGY FOR THE PUMP, is ALWAYS ON HIGHER BY TURBINE getting !!!!!!!! 1
