The flow of water turns the blades (4) of the turbine and also flows into a channel in the hub (3) of the rotor. The water is drawn from the hub along the channels (9) through the blades (4) by centripetal force. In the cavity between the ends (8) of the blades and the support ring (7), the hydrostatic pressure of the water forms a minimal friction bearing. |
