Salmon series portable water turbine is a type of zero head water turbine and with its special design, it does not require any changes in the river flow path. These types of turbines can produce output power from 20 to 1000 watts depending on the design diameter and river water speed.

Prototype

This device is a small portable water turbine that generate electric current by being placed in the river path and without spending any time. This turbine with a weight of 300 grams and small dimensions is easily portable and can produce an output power equal to 20 watts. The water speed required to achieve the maximum output power of this turbine is 2 m/s and the turbine output is reduced in waters with lower flow speed.

This sample was tested in April 2022 for its production and performance.
