ABSTRACT:
An improved water turbine apparatus includes a rotating waterwheel having a plurality of water-receiving buckets arranged about its periphery. Water is delivered to the buckets at a first, upper location and drained from the buckets at a second, lower location. The water is retained in the buckets during rotation between the first and second locations by a curved, fixed turbine wall. A portion of the water delivered to the buckets may be pumped from a well or reservoir, the water drained from the buckets being used to replenish the reservoir. The reservoir can be used to augment a second, variable water source to maintain continuous and consistent turbine output.
