Archimedes Screw Turbine
Mechanical Engineering
Renewable Energy
Design and Fabrication
It is a water turbine which uses the principle of Archimedean screw to
convert the potential energy of water on an
upstream level into work. The water enters the screw at the top and the
weight of the water pushes on the helical flights, allowing the water to fall to
the lower level and causing the screw to rotate. This rotational energy can
then be extracted by an electrical generator connected to the main shaft of the
screw.
This Archimedes Screw has several advantages among other types of low
head turbines and does not require a special control system because of the use
of standard equipment and generator units, easy in construction, installation,
and maintenance.
It one of the famous projects which are environmental and marine-friendly.
The aim is to harness renewable energy and to make forward steps toward
generation of sustainable energy for the continued development for our
society.
Other sources of energy productions require energy that is obtained by
burning fossil fuels which produces hazardous gases and pollutes the air.
Energy production by Archimedean screw turbine is a type of cleaner energy
production.
So that the pollution should be minimized. And there should be a balanced
use of non-renewable energy resources by which we can reduce the problems
of deficiency of non-renewable resources in future.
It can be used in ponds, lakes, and drainage canal of cities.
All above after installations, it develops free of cost electrical energy. So, it
can be used where we required free energy source. (just a simple water flow
required).
The Archimedean turbine may be used in situations where there is a
stipulation for the preservation and care of the environment and wildlife.
