We have been building an a.t.  Banki turbine based on the VITA design 
of around 1978. This has a 305 mm (1 foot)diameter wheel. The width is 280 mm. 
We are finishing up the prototype and will soon put it on the 
www.watermotor.net website. We expect this model to cost under $200 u.s. in 
materials.
Does anyone have experience with this particular design?
