A modular hydraulic turbine made of a small number of components that are cast or molded, and that can easily be assembled and/or interchanged whenever required. The turbine has a cylindrical inlet unit through water ma y enter and an angular tubular outlet unit through wafer may enter escape; a central cone- shaped hub having a plurality of incurved blades; a shaft having a front end extending into the hub and a rear end portion engaging and extending outside the outlet unit; a hollow rotor rigidly connected to the shaft and having a plurality of incurved blades, the rotor causing the shaft to rotate when water flows insi de the turbine; and a watertight casing for rotatably supporting the rear end of th e shaft. The rear end portion of the shaft of the turbine is devised to be connected to a power generator, especially an electric generator, to produce energy upon rotation of the shaft. Depending on its size and the strength of the water stream, fr om 10 to 1200 kW/hour can easily be generated.
