          The Kaplan turbine is a propeller-type water turbine with adjustable blades. It was
          developed in 1913 by Austrian professor Viktor Kaplan, who combined automatically
          adjusted propeller blades with automatically adjusted wicket gates to achieve efficiency
          over a wide range of flow and water level. Kaplan turbines are now widely used
          throughout the world in high-flow, low-head power production.
