Abstract
Abstract— The main objective of this research is the development of a prototype of a Savonius-type hydraulic microturbine, manufactured by additive manufacturing with PLA (polylactic acid), for the generation of electrical energy. The fabrication of the prototype was carried out using PLA, a 3D printing material known for its biodegradability and ease of use in additive manufacturing. Experimental tests were carried out to measure the performance of the prototype under different water flow conditions, determining its capacity to generate electrical energy efficiently. Finally, the technical and economic feasibility of the prototype was evaluated.
