The Kaplan turbine is a propeller-type water turbine with adjustable blades. It was
developed in 1913 by Austrian professor Viktor Kaplan, who combined automatically
adjusted propeller blades with automatically adjusted wicket gates to achieve efficiency
over a wide range of flow and water level. Kaplan turbines are now widely used
throughout the world in high-flow, low-head power production.
