2) Concept of the Kaplan turbine and pipe system
3) Runner of the Kaplan turbine
4) Runner blades & pitch vanes/guide vanes
5) Motor & generator of the turbine
6) Power house, turbine & transformer of the run-of-the-river power plant
7) History & facts of the Kaplan turbine

Hello and thank you for your comment. This animation is a simple way to explain a run-of-the-river plant, but you are right. Normally, dams are built in a way as to allow fish to move from one side to the other without any problems.

it's really good to understand kaplan turbine in short.

Great Video! I'm a researcher from a water utilities company and will be presenting a proposal on free hydroelectric electricity from the tap for large accounts (hopefully efficient enough for residential customers as well since to produce sufficient wattage, we are likely looking at 200 to 500 cu monthly consumption at least). I might base the device on the dam's set up for the Kaplan turbine. Thanks again!

Very good job. Now add variable pitch impeller blades, and use a more aggressive prop. aspect ratio. You can dial it in to give the best torque out put for a given rate of water flow. And then optimise the shaft speed by varying the brake force from the power generator. It`s all been done before, ie variable vane turbos and variable pitch props.

Very cool, thanks for posting. Why is cavitation no longer a problem in the turbines?

Well, I think there is some way to make a greener dam (it blocks fish migration track). 1) Pump water from a river to a reservoir at high ground, than flow it to turbine than the water back to river. 2) Drill a huge hole for the dam near the riverbank (rather than increasing the water level, here we lowering the dam base), and the other side is lower than the river side, so the water will flow. How ever,... I subscribe your channel sir!...

most kaplan turbines have a big grate infront of them and the turbine with a large room where lots of water can go true a single turbine

Hello, I have to tell you about my current project. I'm building a lego aerial tramway whose bullwheel will be powered directly from a lego Kaplan turbine installed in a small embankment dam. Everything is prepared and I'll finish the project probably by the end of March. Stay tuned.

I think it is a francis turbine, but im not shure, can you explain me the diference betwin this typw of turbine?

@Garretthierisser 10 жыл бұрын

why is the water coming from the side before leading it in axial direction, is this not a circuit?

@DukRajMafchan 8 жыл бұрын

+Garretthierisser You could think of it as a circuit (hydraulic). The water comes from the side because the water inlet to the turbine runner is at the side. Also if the water would come from the bottom (axial direction first), then that would be a pumping action (not a prime mover action).

Wow... that was a tad bit emotional... and where does the voice come from? Why must she speak like that? The video communicated the information clearly, but that music and voice made it slightly challenging to keep watching the video. Thanks anyway though.
