    Francis turbines are often used
    for medium sized power plants.
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    For the production of electricity,
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    a shaft connects the electric generator
    to a moving wheel.
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    The moving wheel is provided
    with fixed blades.
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    The guiding wheel surrounds
    the moving wheel.
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    The blades on the moving wheel
    are steerable.
  • 0:47 - 0:51
    A simple rotation allows the power
    of the turbine to be adjusted.
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    The water supply for the
    Francis turbine
  • 0:58 - 1:03
    is generally enabled by a spiral cover
    surrounding the impeller.
  • 1:04 - 1:09
    The water engulfs the penstock,
    and moves toward the spiral sheet.
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    The turbined water then escapes
    through the tailrace.
  • 1:18 - 1:22
    The rotation of the turbine
    drives the rotor of the electric generator
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    which produces electricity.
  • 1:25 - 1:26
