A proposed design of power transmission of water turbine system is shown in Figure 1 below.
The water turbine is connected to the Generator A (20 Watt) and Generator B (5 Watt) via
Shaft A, Shaft B, Shaft C and Shaft D. The rotational speed and torque is controlled by the
Gear 1, Gear 2, Gear 3, Gear 4 and Gear 5 respectively. The specification of turbine and
generators are listed in Table 1.

Specification
Water Turbine Generator A (20 Watt) Generator B (5 Watt)
Torque (Nm) 60 20 35
Rotation Speed (RPM) 200 250 60
a) The minimum size of shafts (Material = AISI 1018, Safety of factor = 1.5)
b) The size of gears including number of teeth, gear ratios and pitch diameter (Assuming
module = 12 mm/teeth)
Note: *The minimum output of torque and rotational speed of Generator A and Generator B
MUST be fulfilled (maximum of 20% variations for safety purpose).
