The GUNT Experiments with a Reaction Turbine is an educational unit designed to demonstrate the operating behavior and key characteristics of reaction turbines, where pressure energy is converted into kinetic energy in the rotor. The rotor is mounted in a transparent housing for clear observation of the water jet that drives the turbine, enhancing understanding of the reaction principle and momentum laws. This unit is intended to be used together with a compatible base unit for water supply and flow measurement.
