Screw-type turbines play a significant role in the development of modern energy systems. Their unique design features ensure optimal utilization of water or air flows passing through the turbine, enhancing efficiency compared to screw-type analogs. This article examines the primary design characteristics of screw turbines and their potential for integration into energy facilities construction. Special attention is given to the advantages of screw turbines, where, due to their thoughtfully conceived design, they demonstrate higher effectiveness in converting kinetic energy from liquids and gases into mechanical rotational energy. This design provides optimal operating conditions for applications involving low head differences (from 1 meter) and low flow rates (starting from 0.5 m³/s). The focus is on the enhanced operational characteristics of screw-type turbines compared to traditional screw analogs.Research results confirming the efficiency of the new blade design incorporating notches in the housing are presented. This construction aids in the natural movement of fluids and air in line with the principles of Schauberger's theories. The design features, including the formation of notches in the housing, facilitate the optimization of flow, reduce friction, and increase torque. Additionally, thanks to the flywheel effect, screw turbines are capable of energy storage, ensuring stable operation while minimizing mechanical vibrations within the system. The article also explores the application possibilities of screw turbines in the construction of energy facilities, particularly small hydroelectric power plants.Proposed solutions contribute to the improved efficiency of utilizing natural resources under varying environmental conditions. Future research will focus on a more in-depth assessment of the efficiency of these innovations and the adaptation of turbine designs for various operational settings. This underscores the importance and feasibility of employing screw turbines in contemporary construction and energy sectors. By adopting these advanced turbine designs, we can accelerate the transition to more sustainable energy solutions while maximizing the effectiveness of renewable energy sources. The integration of screw turbines offers a promising approach towards achieving greater energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in modern infrastructure projects.
