Its main components are a continuous double chain running around two guide wheels and supporting stainless-steel paddles (Fig. 1).

 In the search for methods of power generation that are as eco-friendly as possible, the harnessing of water power is becoming increasingly important. Of particular interest are solutions in the smallest application area, with low heads and limited throughflow. These micro power plants allow water resources in small-scale topographic settings to be harnessed and converted into electrical energy.

 The compact Steffturbine has a diverse range of applications. Rivers and streams, dam outlets, water treatment plants, irrigation systems, power station outflow channels and industrial process water are all suitable for power generation, along with locations by old mills or wiers in need of revitalization. The inclination of the Steffturbine can be adjusted to suit the local topography. In extreme cases, it is possible to generate electricity from the kinetic energy of water flowing horizontally (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).<br/>

 The Steffturbine is a development of WRH Walter Reist Holding AG working together with the University of Munich. WRH Walter Reist Holding AG, with headquarters in Hinwil (Switzerland), is an international, family-owned company specialized in the development of innovative conveyor and processing systems with proven and successful applications in the printing, food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in automobile manufacturing. The conveyor technology also forms the basis for the Steffturbine, which has been marketed by WRH Walter Reist Holding AG since 2012 through its own worldwide sales and distribution organization.
