  1. Pelton Wheel Development Project Background A pelton wheel is a hydraulic turbine used to generate power from high head, low flow rate water sources such as mountain streams. • Solution • Attach a generator to the pelton wheel. • Attach a load to the generator. • Mount entire recycled assembly on new tank. • Develop a new laboratory experiment. Power and Torque Results System Diagram Pump Turbine Torque Transducer Generator Load Problem Statement The effectiveness of the Civil Engineering department’s pelton wheel, as a learning tool, needs to be improved. This is to be done by showing students a visual display of the power being generated by the wheel. Tank Design Final Assembly • Future Tasks • Automated data acquisition • Power flow display • Labviewintegration Team Members Phillip Spinden, Ian Haynes, Kenneth Fletcher, Jennifer Jones Sponsors Civil Engineering Department Dr. Liou Shell Renewable Energy Grant Technical Advisors Dr. Liou Don Parks Dr. Law Russ Porter http://seniordesign.engr.uidaho.edu/2012-2013/peltonwheel/
