, water supply to the water will rise in the nozzle B to ing. When the water supply to the pipe D is turned off the body B, stem C and vnut 19 are in Vlowered position within the casing (see Figure 2), and the top 10 seats within the annular groove 13. However, when the pipe 'D is turned onthe the tubular part of the casing v1 against the lower face of the nut 19 and will cause the nut, stem C and body B to rise until the nut 19 engages the lower face 20 of the cup-shaped base (Figure 1) whereupon vwater rising in the stem C will flow laterally through the openings 22 in the stem vto. the blades or fins l8 and will cause rotate.V As waterV is discharged frointhe stein C through the openingsl 22`into the body B, the pressure of water forces the body B upwardly until the base tcontacts with the p head 23. rlhe recess 7 isthen closed by the top 23, consequently .water discharged from the openings 22 will build up a pressure in the recess 7. Since the supply vof water into the body above the o and the water has beendischarging through the openings 17, the pressure in this upper portion has escape from decreased accordingly. As' a result the vwater in the rece'ssg7 builds-up to a pressure the head 23cons'equently the body B is forced downwardly, permitting water to escape from the recess 7 upwardly about the head 23 into the upper portion of the body above and below. the head 23 are in proper ratio to balance thehead hydraulically. In other words', the body will come to rest in a position which willallow enough water to Vbelowpthe head 23 and flow to the upper portionF of the Abody to cause the latter to'y be balanced; Y The water flows in a thin film from the recess y 'and prevents any contact between these two members and leliminates friction at this point. Since the body B is provided with fins or blades 8, it is apparent that this film of water Y contacting therewith will cause positlve rotation of the body B. The angleof the blades with respectfto the film of water will determine the speed of rotation' of the'bo'dy B. It is obvious that the speed ofthis device might also be controlled by a set of brakes similar to those shown in my companion f case Vhat I vclaim as my invention is 1.
