Summary A development of a clean energy source is one of the most important technical issues in the world from the point of retaining an economic activities and conserving the global environment. In this research, we aimed at utilizing a poor-quality energy sources which have not been developed because of their low density or high variability. A new developed waterwheel returns of approximately 10% with respect to total waterpower.
