ABSTRACT:
The invention details a water wheel employing free-swinging buckets pivotally supported at the radial extremity of twelve spokes of the wheel. The buckets become captive in the load position at the top of the wheel, providing for controlled filling characteristics and at the bottom of the wheel providing for controlled discharge of the water. The orifice between the overlying water basin and the buckets is subject to two control functions; it is closed when no bucket is present for loading the water head to which it is subjected is variable for speed and power control. The closure of the orifice is accomplished by water seals and is claimed as a unique feature of this invention. The power output is delivered through the main shaft supporting the wheel and buckets through the optional use of conventional methods of coupling. The dumping of the spent water load at the bottom of the wheel employs a rack and pinion device to provide for the total discharge of the water from the drum-shaped buckets. The unloaded drum returns a part of the energy required for dumping to the system as it returns to original center of gravity attitude.
