    Using the parameters of waterfall “Jun Jun” it was possible to obtain a height of 9 meters and a flow of 9 lt/s. These determined the following parameters of the design: the outside diameter of the turbine wheel = 18cm, the appropriate number of blades =20 and the diameter of the pipe to be used = 4 inches. Water flows into the injector, helping propel the rotor blades and movement to the shaft. As a result, mechanical energy is transmitted by means of pulleys and this helps to generate the necessary rotation speed for the pump to work efficiently. With the construction of this machine, the efficiency of the turbine can be calculated with a controlled flow, at a stipulated height and in real conditions. The machine was constructed according to a specific location and to the conditions of this location. In order to work without any problems several changes were made to achieve the most effective design. Performance tests of the turbo pump resulted in the rotation speed provided by the turbine being between 294.56 and 694.02 and a pumping flow from 0.13lt/s to 0.36 lt/s for a height of approximately 30m. These results led to the conclusion that the design of the machine is suitable and reliable to work in the proposed location. This work arises out of the need for electrical energy in the sectors where this service is not currently available. It is an innovative project that favors the development of renewable energies, as there are many areas where they could be implemented greatly benefitting the environment. This project aims to investigate the operation of the turbo pump, which consists of a pump powered by turbine. In our case, the pump is powered by a MICHELLE BANKY turbine.
