Úlfar Eggert Ásmundur and Bragi¶

The project we decided to work on is redesigning the pelton turbine experiment.

Things to redesign¶

• Angular velocity measurement
  In order to measure the angular velocity in the current state you need a external meter. We want to have a sensor that is connected to a industrial computer. So you'll be able to read the angular velocity on a user screen.

• Flow measurements
  In current state you need to collect the water drained from the turbine in a bin and take the time while you do it. This contains lots of errors and water splashes everywhere.

• Bearings
  The current design has two bearings close to each other and that is not sufficient for the bending load from the water. In order to make this better we're thinking about having more space between the bearings and maybe have the bearings on each side of the torque wheel.
