OSTI ID:6186097
A transformable hydroenergetic arrangement is disclosed for a fluid storing dam having a conduit for directing passage of fluid flows therethrough, said fluid directing conduit being dually shaped as a frustum spatial geometrical configuration flaring from the center line of the dam to both of the dam's opposing faces with gated fluid flow controlling means provided along the center line and passing coincidently through the smaller transverse crosssectional area of the conduit. The hydromotive assembly is alternatively positioned in combination with either flared portion of the dually-flared conduit. A the hydromotive assembly includes a turbine runner disposed within a diffuser tube of a body having a flared extension surrounding the diffuser tube and terminating in an open end allowing evacuation of fluid flows.
