The invention relates to a water turbine that extracts the rotational energy out of a vortical flow of water. The water turbine includes a rotor with at least one channel extending circumferentially and longitudinally across the rotor. The channel includes a bend to extract the rotational energy from the vortical flow of water. The invention may also include guide vanes at an inlet of the water turbine to cause a vortical flow in the water turbine. Furthermore, the water turbine may be tapered between the inlet and the rotor to increase the rotational velocity of the vortical flow.
Linvention se rapporte à une turbine hydraulique qui extrait lénergie de rotation dun écoulement deau tourbillonnaire. La turbine hydraulique comprend un rotor équipé dau moins un canal sétendant circonférentiellement et longitudinalement sur lensemble du rotor. Le canal comprend un coude pour extraire lénergie de rotation de lécoulement deau tourbillonnaire. Linvention peut également comprendre des aubes de guidage au niveau de lentrée de la turbine hydraulique pour provoquer un écoulement tourbillonnaire dans la turbine hydraulique. En outre, la turbine hydraulique peut être conique entre lentrée et le rotor afin daugmenter la vitesse de rotation de lécoulement tourbillonnaire.
