Pelton turbine model
$0.00
This Pelton turbine provides an opportunity to investigate how running water can be used to produce electricity to make an incandescent lamp or LED light up.
Description
In order to achieve the highest current production from the “turbine”, the water pressure from a tap should be used, thereby the “turbine” can produce a voltage level of approx. 3 – 4 V DC and a current of up to approx. 0.3 A.
Application: Let the water jet from the faucet run at full strength through the entrance hole and onto the turbine blades. The rotation from the paddle wheel causes a small electric generator to produce electricity.
Recommended bulbs: 425005 Incandescent bulb E10 1.5 V 90 mA or 425100 LED bulb 3-12 V E10.
The turbine can illuminate min. 3 x 425100 LED lamps connected in parallel connection.
The turbine housing is made of plexiglass and the turbine wheel is made of colored metal.
Dimensions of the turbine housing:
285 x 57 x ø165 mm.
