The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Natel Energy to design, fabricate, and test a pilot-scale hydraulic turbine that would incorporate a novel linear drivetrain into the design. The turbine would be powered by the momentum of high velocity water carried through flat nozzle jets and captured by Pelton-style buckets. The proposed project would also determine specifications for potential civil works and powerhouse configurations.
