Compact Water Turbine

"Beavers soon realized that if a pump uses power to move water, water can move a pump to make power." The Compact Water Turbine is a highly efficient, 1x1 mechanical power generator designed for precision engineering and tight settlement layouts. Instead of relying on massive, slow-moving water wheels, this turbine harnesses the pressure of falling water to generate scalable mechanical power. Key Features Dynamic Water Physics: The visual water stream physically reacts to your network. At 100% capacity, water shoots from the pipe in a heavy, pressurized arc. As the flow dies down, the stream dynamically loses pressure, thinning out and dropping straight down into a dribble. Flow-Proportional Power: Power output isn't just on or off. It scales dynamically based on two factors: the volume of water moving through the turbine, and the height of the drop (head pressure). The water flow can be adjusted from 0 to 0. 5 m3/s Technical Specs Maximum Flow Rate: 0. 5 m3s (Cubic Meters per Second) Minimum Head to work: 1. 0 meters (Turbine will stop working when head < 1 m) Minimum Head to start: 1. 6 meters (Turbine will not start when head < 1. 6 m) Maximum Drop: 5 meters (Power generation maxes out at a 5m drop) Maximum Power generation: 1000 hp at 0. 5 m3s and 5. 0 m or greater head How the head is measured The turbine simply takes the effective water height at the intake and subtracts the effective water height at the exhaust. How to Use Simply place the Compact Water Turbine at the edge of a canal or dam. Ensure the intake is submerged and there is at least a 1-block drop from the intake water level to the output water level. Connect your mechanical shafts to the housing, and let the gravity do the rest! Water Turbine Head Definition The head of a water turbine is the height difference between the water entering the turbine and the water leaving it. It is a critical factor in determining the turbine's efficiency and the amount of power it can generate. Mods on Steam Mods on mod-d
