    This document discusses Pelton wheel turbines, a type of hydraulic machine. Pelton wheel turbines are composed of several key components and were significantly improved by American engineer Laster A Pelton, for whom they are named. They operate by directing high-pressure jets of water onto the circumference of a wheel with cups attached to its outer edge, causing it to spin and produce rotational energy.
