In reality, power and efficiency increase further with speed to reach their maxima theoretically at 210,000 rpm (for 1 bar). These speeds can be reached using a smaller load. VI. ELECTRICAL OUTPUT To measure the electrical power output of the system, the generator is connected to a variable 3- phase load consisting of 3 potentiometers (range 2 kΩ, 10 turns). In contrast with the mechanical tests, the electrical tests are performed at constant speed. The speed of the turbine, which is measured from 0.5 0 Speed (rpm) x 10 Fig. 5.
