Abstract: The water turbine is designed and manufactured according to Tesla's turbine. The alternative energy source for household power requirements is very essential in remote places due to frequent power cuts.It is also important that this source should be compact and easy for common man to run. This thesis aims to design and manufacture a portable water turbine using Tesla turbine theory.This turbine's main aim is to harness the power and kinetic energy of a conventional water supply. Appropriate changes are made regarding the literature survey in the existing design of shaft, plate, and nozzle.Low-head tubular turbine work is primarily based on the smaller flow rate, but the greater flow at different flow channel positions is easy to cause different hydraulic losses, and may have poor stability.A typical case of the low-head tubular turbine unit over the Yellow River, in accordance with the efficiency of the low-head tubular turbine and the hydraulic loss principle, and in accordance with the actual machine guide vane and the surface form of the turbine vane, when turning a fixed vane, adjust the guide vane outlet angle and calculate the computing velocity and energy properties
