Part Number ME2107 from Motenergy, Inc. This is a new Turgo water wheel for Hydro-Electric generation projects. It measures 6.7 inches in diameter (170 mm). It has 20 cups that are bolted to a center hub. The hub has a hole in the center with a diameter of 0.786 inches (20 mm), and 4 additional 0.193 inch (5 mm) holes on a 1.38 inch (35 mm) bolt circle. This water wheel is brand new and in the original box.This is a Poly Carbonate wheel made for long life, not Nylon.
Comes with an Aluminum Adapter Hub for a 7/8 inch diameter shaft. Fits Motenergy generators. If using another generator brand, you may need to drill-out the center hole of the adapter, or make your own Adapter.
To mount the Turgo Wheel to a Generator, here are some ideas.
1) You can purchase a solid coupler from McMaster Carr or Grainger. If you purchase a coupler with a large diameter, where one end fits your generator and the other end has a large diameter, then you can drill holes in the coupler to mount the wheel.
2)
You can purchase a Pulley from a local hardware store that fits on your generator. Then put the water wheel over the pulley, and mark the location of 4 to 8 holes. In other words, use the Pelton wheel as a template to drill holes in the face of the pulley.
