in a turbine which is wheel or rotor with paddles, and
blades and buckets in such way that the moving fluid
exerts a tangential force that turns the wheel and
imparts energy on it. to operate a machine,
compressor, electric generator or propeller, this
mechanical energy is then transferred through a drive
shaft. The water is impeaches of the blades of the
turbine making the wheel to rotate and producing
torque and power through the runner to rotate the
alternator at a particular speed thereby producing an
electric voltage and output.

 The main purpose of this study is to give more
explanation and understanding in water wheel and its
use.
 Systematically collected from literature and analyzed
 Collecting data
 Stream wheels are very cheap, making them a suitable option especially in emerging
countries. Theoretical, experimental, numerical results and literature data were here
collected and discussed. The literature results show that the efficiency and hydraulic
behavior of stream wheels is affected by the wheel geometry and hydraulic conditions.
The maximum power output occurs at a certain wheel speed that is a function of the
hydraulic conditions. Successful studies to improve the power output have been
performed. The most efficient achievement is the awareness that the optimal design can
be obtained not acting only on the wheel rotational speed and blade design, but
especially on the surrounding structure of the wheel. This consideration is valid for all
kinds of stream water wheels. In shallow water, curved bed sections are required to
minimize gaps and leakages, while, in deep water, ad hoc floating structure
hydrodynamically shaped can double the power output. Anyway, also the shape and
number of blades play a significant role in the achievement of the optimal efficiency. For
example, at least three blades should be simultaneously in contact with water;
furthermore, a forward flat blade, or a semicircular shape, could improve the efficiency
noticeably. This was a common result founding several works.
 Guidelines for their design were discussed focusing
especially on wheel dimensions, supporting structures,
blades and speed. (detailed)
