Summary
This demonstrator will consist in a hydro turbine of which certain constituent parts will be covered by riblets, in order to increase the overall efficiency of the said turbine. This will be done using a combination of laser techniques.

Comment:
This demonstrator will consist in a hydro turbine in which specific parts will be texturised with laser, with the aim to improvoe its efficency.
Additionally, the creation of functional surfaces has traditionally relied on processes such as chemical reactions and/or the complete coating of the native surfaces (e.g. aerofoils). Due to their very nature, these processes generate unwanted by-products thereby leaving a significant environmental footprint, which go against the “do no significant harm” principle of The European Green Deal.
