Abstract

A water turbine with water circulation has a water circulation channel full of water, a water wheel having a plurality of paddles radially disposed on a rotatable shaft and sequentially dipped into the water circulation channel for generating mechanical energy when it is rotated by the water of the water channel, and a pressurizing pump having a water intake disposed within the water circulation channel on an portion opposite to the paddles and a nozzle arranged immediate ahead of the paddles within the water channel for expelling a high-pressure water jet tangentially of the water wheel onto the paddles for rotating the water wheel.

Claims

1. A water turbine with water circulation, comprising:

a water circulation channel full of water;

a water wheel having a plurality of paddles radially disposed on a rotatable shaft and sequentially dipped into the water circulation channel for generating mechanical energy when it is rotated by the water of the water channel; and

a pressurizing pump having a water intake disposed within the water circulation channel on an portion opposite to the paddles and a nozzle arranged immediate ahead of the paddles within the water channel for expelling a high-pressure water jet tangentially of the water wheel onto the paddles for rotating the water wheel.

2. The water turbine with water circulation as set forth in claim 1, wherein said water circulation channel is of oval.

3. The water turbine with water circulation as set forth in claim 2, wherein said oval water circulation channel defines an elongated opening by a slant wall for the paddles of the water wheel to pass therethrough.

4. The water turbine with water circulation as set forth in claim 1, wherein said paddles are flat in cross section.

5. The water turbine with water circulation as set forth in claim 1, wherein said paddle are curved in cross section.

6. The water turbine with water circulation as set forth in claim 3, wherein the slant wall form a housing for hermetically sealing the water wheel.

7. The water turbine with water circulation as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a ballast weight arranged on the shaft in parallel with the turbine.

8. A power generation apparatus, comprising:

at least one of the water turbines with water circulation as set forth in claim 1; and

a generator having a shaft coupled with the shaft of the water turbines.
