Just thought it was interesting that a technology as old as a water wheel still has room for improvement and that people are still researching it. Also the research is public and by the looks of it, well within the scope of a DIY builder to utilise into a more efficient hyrdo power generator.... I'll get my coat...I am not totally sure but this is not the forum to outsource links.
I mean if you have something great to share then share it here.
Sure at times we need to link to other sources but in this stage I would advice to keep it here local. If it is something to write home about
hello!Came across a design for a water wheel thats 80% efficient and it utilises a low head of water. Who'd of thought that the water wheel could still be improved!
Google "Rotary Hydraulic Pressure Machine"
How so?I am not sure so please forgive me if I am mistaken.
But yet again this has all the hallmarks of a waste of time
Yes, you have rather missed the point. Southampton University has published a paper on a new waterwheel design that is 80% efficient. I am not sure how much more tangible that can be? It's a published paper detailing the design and test results. I could maybe post a PDF file of the paper somewhere if you are unable to search for it. I still don't get your issue....because, as far as I was able to understand this thread, it is not tangible.
Inciting people to go and internet search for something is a rather new phenomenon to me. What if one's search results differ from that of others?
Once again, I can't be certain about the policies of this forum. But if this would have been my forum I would have rather had people state their case right here and now.
I will admit that I could have completely missed the point that is being made here and if so then please accept my humble apologies.
You can attach a PDF file to a post ... there might be some limit to the size.Yes, you have rather missed the point.

Once more, just for you, Southampton University has published a paper on a new design of undershot waterwheel. The title of the paper is: "The Rotary Hydraulic Pressure Machine for Very Low Head Hydropower Sites". If you are interested have a google for it. If not, just move on...
I thought it was very interesting and I assumed, wrongly in your case, that others may find it interesting too. Too bad you're obsessed with forum etiquette.
I think you're just trying to troll me now! Over and out!
hahah yes, I do tend to ramble alot do not I?Kinda looks to me like he is just working on getting his post count up by posting several nonsensical posts in a row.
