The Tuapeka Turbine
The Tuapeka Turbine is a small-scale hydrokinetic turbine developed through practical engineering, prototyping and experimental testing.
The Tuapeka Turbine was developed as a practical approach to generating power from naturally flowing water without requiring a conventional dam or large civil works. The project evolved through theoretical analysis, engineering design, prototype construction and testing under real-world conditions.
