The construction, testing and evaluation of Mr. Friedrich Schmidt's invention of a folding-blade water turbine was performed at Stevens Institute of Technology. Although overall measured efficiency was low, the folding wing action resulted in a significant advantage when compared to operation of the device with wings locked in the open position. Recommendations for further development and future investigation of the device are also made. (ERA citation 10:044856)
