The "suction turbine" or "jet turbine" of Viktor Schauberger
The Viktor Schauberger system was high on the list of Tidal Energy Pty Ltd priorities when Davidson and Hill (D&H) first began feasibility testing in the late 1990's.
Unfortunately for Viktor D&H found that placing the turbine in the constriction produced a blockage causing flow upstream to slow and build up. In effect the turbine while producing some small increase in power acted more like a dam reducing flow over the turbine. The flow had "no where to go" when a load was placed on the turbine so began to backup upstream of the turbine. Any vortex that was or should have been created was lost.
D&H conclude that the system would only work in free stream where the vortex was allowed to form down stream of the turbine thereby allowing more flow to be drawn in at the "up" stream inlet.TidalEnergy 17:23, 30 Jan 2008 (EST)
