Abstract

This paper underlines the principles of a newly developed concept for highly efficient hydropower generation. An analysis of a system, constructed based on the specifications derived from the theory, shows that the system is capable of efficiently harnessing a high percentage of the kinetic energy contained in random hydro flow motions. It also foreshadows a significant potential for the system in capturing energy from zero head multi-directional fluid flow, which effectively adds a new category to conventional turbomachinery systems.
