The use of large scale. Free-trajectory jets for hydraulic energy dissipation at dams was pioneered with the construction of the "ski-jump" spillway chutes sited over the power station of l'aiglc dam in France. In theory it should be possible to construct some form of flip bucket for any combination of flow and head drop. But in practice, economics and dam site topography will impose limits.
