Yep, you're probably wondering what HydroDynamic is. In it's basic form it is manipulating a flow of water to increase it's own potential.
An example of this would be to increase the velocity of water ina river to power a turbine for electrical generation. And from what I have seen on the internet, such a concept has yet to be considered.
Now you are probably wondering how water could change it's own potential to be even more energetic. This is quite simple, use the same concept that allows a 747 to fly.
If you understand the concept of a wing plane and how the leading edge accelerates the air above the wing, then this might be something you would understand.
By having a housing that has a leading edge, the flow of water can be seperated into 2 parts. One part would be accelerated and would operate the turbine. The second part would help to keep a vacuum in the turbine housing. This second part would prevent back pressure from wasting the potential generated by the nozzle feeding high velocity streams of water into the turbine's rotaor assembly.
And if you need a further clue on the principles involved, your garden hose with a convergent/divergent nozzle on it can give you an idea of how the flow of water being changed can convert a high volume/low pressure flow into a low volume/high pressure jet stream of water.
And since f=ma and x newton meters of torque at y rpm equals watts, an idea of what might be possible before hand might be considered.
