A Pelton turbine is an innovative type of hydraulic turbine that uses water jet impinging on buckets rigidly attached to a wheel, causing it to rotate. Invented by Lester Allan Pelton in 1879, this turbine has high efficiency and can operate with low head high flow conditions. Ideal for hydroelectric power generation, the Pelton turbine is widely used worldwide. Its simplicity, reliability, and ability to function under variable water flows make it a popular choice among engineers.
