A stack of spare Pelton Turbines in the ENEL Roncovalgrande hydroelectric power plant, Maccagno
The particular colors are the results of a complex tonemapping of the reflections over the turbine raw metal of the artificial lights illuminating the huge cave where the generators are hosted.
Didactic corner: Lester Allan Pelton (California) patented these type of turbines in 1880, and they are yet among the most efficient impulse turbine for hydroelectric usage, when the water has a very high pressure.
