Episode 13: A Kaplan turbine from a specification, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) prompts

Heliciel video tutorial, episode 13

The site of episode 12, this time with six prompts to a locally connected AI assistant: the finished turbine and its complete exploded view, the site and the turbine family (Ns 659, Kaplan), a runner limited to 1,700 mm (Solver 1, 371 kW), the full sizing (1,868 mm runner, 391 kW, no cavitation), the installation in 3D, the fabrication kit exported as STL and the runner sent to the project. Very useful for beginners who are not turbine experts.
