Pofuna kupewa kusagwirizana kwapanikizidwe, penstock imayikidwa ndi thanki yowonjezera yomwe imatenga kusinthasintha kwadzidzidzi kwamadzi komwe kungasinthe kuthamanga.

Mosiyana ndi mitundu ina ya ma turbines omwe ndi ma turbine ochitira, turbine ya Pelton imadziwika kuti turbine yamphamvu. Izi zimangotanthauza kuti m'malo mosuntha chifukwa cha mphamvu yamagetsi, madzi amapanga mphamvu pa turbine kuti isunthe.
