Description:

It has a framework base which houses a large water reservoir and a circulating pump. A stainless steel top is connected to support the turbine itself and a dynamometer assembly. The propeller itself is housed in a clear acrylic pipe to allow maximum visibility of the workings. The unit incorporates a paddle wheel type flow meter and a pressure sensor to measure the inlet condition of the water. It also holds a load cell which measures the braking force, and hence the power, and an optical sensor measures the rotational speed of the turbine.
