Janus20 Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 In the above equation v^2/2g = H potential pressure where v is STRAIGHT LINE VELOCITY butwhen v is CIRCULAR VELOCITY its potential pressure goes to 2H. Astonishingly this term is missing and it is the FREE LUNCH. Modified Pelton wheels are shown in 4d and 4e at http://www.thewebspert.com/cresswell/. The result is truly astonishing.
Oracle Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 But the equation contains two components potential energy and kinetic energy, the velocity refers to the kinetic energy not the potential.
