	Pelton wheel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pelton wheel turbine is a tangential flow impulse turbine, water flows along the tangent to the path of the runner.
		Lester Allan Pelton, carpenter and millwright, invented the Pelton wheel in 1879 while working in California.
		The smallest Pelton wheels, only a few inches across, are used with household plumbing fixtures to tap power from mountain streams with a few gallons per minute of flow, but these small units must have thirty meters or more of head.

	Science Fair Projects - Lester Allan Pelton
		Lester Allan Pelton (1829 - March 14, 1908), was an American inventor who created the impulse water turbine.
		Pelton was watching a spinning water turbine when the key holding its wheel onto its shaft slipped, causing it to become misaligned.
		Later evolutions of the pelton turbine were the Turgo_turbine, first patended by in 1919 by Gilkes and the Banki turbine.

		The pelton wheel is a form of impulse turbine and is most efficient in high head applications.
		Pelton observed an increase in speed of the mis-alligned wheel.
		The smallest pelton wheels, only a few inches across, are used with household plumbing to tap power from mountain streams with a few gallons per minute of flow, but thirty meters or more of head.

	Pelton History
		Lester A. Pelton was an American inventor who successfully developed a highly efficient water turbine, for a high head, but low flow of water operating in many situations.
		"Pelton water turbine or wheel is a rotor driven by the impulse of a jet of water upon curved buckets fixed to its periphery; each bucket is divided in half by a splitter edge that divides the water into two streams.
		The Pelton wheel is acclaimed as the only hydraulic turbine of the impulse type to use a large head and low flow of water in hydro-electric power stations.

		In 1879 Lester Allan Pelton, carpenter and millwright, invented a metal waterwheel turned by a high speed water jet and received a patent in 1880.
		Pelton's first wheel was used at the Mayflower Mine in Nevada City.
		The water was directed into paired, self-emptying round buckets which powered heavy equipment, such as stamp mills, throughout the Sierra Nevada foothills.

		The Pelton water wheel, first commercially manufactured here at George Allan's foundry and machine works in 1879, was a major advancement in water power utilization and greatly advanced hard-rock mining.
		By the late 1800s, Pelton wheels were providing energy to operate industrial machinery throughout the world.
		In 1888, Lester Pelton moved his business to San Francisco, but granted continuing manufacturing rights to Allan's foundry, where the wheels were manufactured into the early 1900s, when most local mines shifted to electric power.

	The Nevada "Rome" Powerhouse and the Birth of PG&E
		Lester Allan Pelton invented the Pelton Water Wheel, which revolutionized the mining industry and helped to launch one of the greatest advances in the history of mankind--the hydro-electric power industry.
		This led to his discovery of the “splitter” concept which allowed nearly all of the energy to be gotten out of the water and prevented the water from fighting itself.
		Pelton sold his interest to A. Brayton, Sr., of Rankin, Brayton and Company.
