Bronze Turgo Wheel
This is the runner in the Energy Systems & Design turbines. It is made of cast bronze and it threads onto a Delco or 80 amp Ford alternator. The pitch diameter (the place where the center of the jet of water should be aimed) is 4 inches. It can be used with a jet of water up to 1 inch. The nozzle should be tilted at a 20 degree angle from the horizontal surface of the wheel.
