An experimental investigation was done on the newly developed hydro turbine, the paddle turbine. After designing and making a test model and related experimental devices, data was gathered on the hydrodynamic performance of the paddle turbine and factors such as solidity, tip speed ratio (TSR), blade number and Reynolds number on power efficiency coefficient. Many advantages of paddle turbine were confirmed, including simple mechanism, minimization of capital costs, maximum power production, easy accessibility and a capacity for self-starting. This initial study of the paddle turbine is useful for future design and theoretical and experimental investigation.
