Kaplan turbine
The Kaplan turbine, invented in 1913 by Austrian professor Viktor Kaplan, is based on the principle of a ship's propeller. The Kaplan turbine is an axial type turbine in which the flow of water causes the propeller blades to rotate in and out in an axial direction relative to the propeller's axis of rotation.
