Subject: [microhydro] paddle
Hello.
Just a quick question.
What should the angle of the paddles be for a undershot waterwheel?
Thanks
Dear Rod8kor,
I have to dig up a book to answer the question, but while I am figuring
out where it is, you may find this site interesting:
http://aquamor.tripod.com/Wheel.htm<http://aquamor.tripod.com/Wheel.htm>
What is great about the melding of the undershot wheel and the spiral pump is
that the spiral pump creates pressure through rotating motion without any
moving parts!
I am currently working on a prototype that takes the pressure and runs it
through a turbine.
I will get back to you on the paddle angle as soon as I find that book. One
thing I must know is, is this an enclosed system (all of the water is run
through a chute through the wheel) or an open system ("run of the river").
Sincerely,
Dennis
Dear Dennis,
Thank you for checking into the paddle angle.
All of the water comes through a chute.At times it is quite turbulent in front
of the paddels. I have attached a photo of the old wheel.
