The American Society of Civil Engineers, a 68,000-member professional society, made the designation which honors Lester Allen Pelton (1829-1908), the inventor of this water wheel. The Pelton Impulse Water Wheel, the name that it is known by the world over, is distinguished for its high efficiency while using small volumes of water. It was during the winter of 1877-1878 that Lester Pelton, developed the first model of this hydraulic impluse wheel. Today his discovery is used throughout the world for developing water power. California’s gold rush in 149 brought need for mining machines. Many water wheels of low efficiency were developed and patented but in 1880 Pelton’s high efficiency water wheel was patented. The high efficiency was due to the use of the first splitter type bucket used on a water wheel. The splitter bucket divided in two parts the jet stream of water at contact with the water wheel and provided much more power than a single bucket or cup attached to the wheel. The latter was used in New England where water used for power was not under such high pressure as in the west, with its high At North Star Mine Powerhouse, Grass Valley, California, a 18 foot 6 inch Pelton Wheel, weighing 10,000 pounds tan for 30 years pumping 1,000. gallons of water every minute from the mine. and developed the lakes and reservoirs, constructed po plants which were a key element in the development of the vast water power of the western part of the country.
