    This document discusses the impact of jets on vanes, including the forces exerted on fixed and moving flat and curved plates when struck by a jet both normally and tangentially. It also provides an example calculation and examines the force exerted by a jet on a series of vanes, with the goal of maximizing hydraulic efficiency as seen in a Pelton wheel. The document analyzes the energy transfer within a Pelton wheel and calculates its maximum efficiency.
