TWT Principle The principle of the (Tide) Water powered Turbine combines the maximum torque together with the strongly accelerated water stream. Water running through a narrow passage accelerates in proportion to the surface of the inlet. The water current is to increase by up to 6 times its regular velocity by implementing a simple tube equipped with an aerodynamic chamber. In this narrow passage, where the water is lead towards the rotor with its large torque, the current accelerates from 1 m/sec to 6 m/sec. This process supported by a gear box and a generator is already at work under a current condition of 1 m/sec. In other words, power generation from river flows or offshore tides has become a significantly much more feasible alternative.
(Tide) Water powered Turbine seen from bottom side Translations The Turbine is placed on a concrete plate; through its axle the turbine rotates in all directions in order to catch the maximum current capacity.
