Cross flow turbine

grabcad

A cross-flow turbine is a type of water turbine where the water flows perpendicular to the axis of rotation, creating torque that powers the turbine's blades. This design allows for efficient power generation in low head, high flow applications, making it ideal for hydroelectric power plants and irrigation systems. The cross-flow turbine is also known as a Pelton wheel or impulse turbine due to its reliance on the force of impacting water jets to turn the blades.
