Abstract
With the aim of investigating the applicative possibilities of chiral blade turbines in obtaining energy from water conduits with low velocity of flow, the present study traces a design procedure, defining analytical tools and identifying various expedients which can guide the effective choice of the functional parameters of the device and allow a preliminary estimation of the quantities in play, confirming their suitability by the construction of a prototype and its functional characterisation as a real device.
