"I am considering a small axial flow turbine for my project as I only have about 20' of head but moderate flow. I was thinking about using an old jet ski pump assembly as they seem to offer close tolerances and seem well engineered."
They are VERY well engineered, for their intended purpose. For yours, the blade camber will be exactly opposite to what you need, with low efficiency and a tendency to cavitate. You could use the housing, seals and shaft, but would have to make your own runner to get decent results. Best, Marc ------------------------ Yahoo!
