Welcome to Turbine Design!

The goal of this Research Science project is to create a small-scale water turbine based generator that can create a meaningful amount of power, enough to power a few lights or small electrical appliances. The turbine must be low-budget (≥ $200), efficient under varying flow conditions (i.e changes in stream flow from rainy season to non-rainy season), and scalable. The generator will be designed and created following the ideas of the Maker movement, the tenets of which can be found here: http://researchsciwt.blogspot.com/p/rapid-lab-maker.html
