  Water turbine Summary
Turbine technology has also come to be used in jet propulsion, and has revolutionized aviation in the second half of the 20th century.
The word turbine was coined by the French engineer Claude Bourdin in the early 19th century and is derived from the Latin word for "whirling" or a "vortex".
Prior to hitting the turbine blades, the water's pressure (potential energy) is converted to kinetic energy by a nozzle and focused on the turbine.

The Tyson Turbine is a hydropower system that extracts power from the flow of water, as opposed to the fall of water which powers most hydropower systems.
It consists of a large propeller mounted below a raft, driving a power system, typically a generator, on top of the raft by belt or gear.
The turbine is towed into the middle of a river or stream, where the flow is the fastest, and tied off to shore to keep it there.

 Hydroelectricity: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
The lower power station has four water turbines which can generate 360 MW of electricity within 60 seconds of the need arising.
A typical hydro-electric scheme consists of a dam (see picture) behind which a reservoir of water is held.
When electricity is in demand, valves will be released, allowing the water to flow downhill to a power station where turbines will be made to turn by the force of the water flow.

 Water Wheel Engineering
The Tyson Turbine is mounted on a floating pontoon platform and is usually moored in mid-stream of a flowing river or creek.
The Banki turbine consists of a rotor that is not unlike that in a 'Barrel' blower-fan.
With the shaft horizontal, the water is let into the turbine 'runner', as the rotating bit is known, at the '9 o'clock' position (as viewed from the end) where it imparts some of it's energy to the vanes.

 PowerPedia:Water wheel - PESWiki
A vertically mounted water wheel that is rotated by falling water striking paddles, blades or buckets near the top of the wheel is said to be overshot.
The overshot wheel has the water channeled to the wheel at the top and slightly to one side in the direction of rotation.
Water wheels that are both overshot and backshot are often referred to as pitchback wheels or banki turbines.

 Troubled Times: Pelton Wheel
The Turgo and Pelton Wheel are impulse turbines which use a high head to extract a greater potential energy from the same amount of water.
The Tyson is suspended in the water by two pontoons, tethered to the banks, bridge or pier by means of a steel cable.
The flow of the river rotates the submerged turbine head which is attached to a right angle gear box.

 Micro-Hydro Water Turbine Generators - ABS Alaskan Alternative Energy
One relatively small water turbine will produce power non-stop, as long as running water is available, no matter what the weather.
We're pleased to introduce a comprehensive line of micro-hydro water turbines, including LVM's AquaGen and Ampair's Aquair UW submersible propeller* turbines, Harris Pelton and Stream Engine impulse turbines, and a comprehensive line of small reaction turbines including the LH1000, Nautilus, Neptune, Niade and Power Pal micro-hydro power systems.
For people with a good source of year-round running water, one or two water turbines may be all they need to power their homes.

 Water wheel Summary
The waterwheel is considered the first rotor mechanism in which an outside force created power to spin a shaft.
A vertically mounted water wheel that is rotated by water striking paddles or blades at the bottom of the wheel is said to be undershot.
With the exception of very advanced implementations such as the Poncelot wheel (which is basically a turbine mounted sideways) undershot wheels are the least efficient type, with efficiencies of 15% or less.
