Conclusion
The first experiments confirmed the reliability of the calculated estimates and prospects of orthogonal turbines. Further efforts should apparently be directed toward a search for particular designs and their checking by obtaining the turbine characteristics of orthogonal runners on models with a diameter of at least 0.4–0.5 m at heads of several meters.
