Limited fossil fuels make water energy the best energy option. The problem of meeting the availability of electricity in rural areas by utilizing water energy as new and renewable energy is a long-term goal in this research. The current research on kinetic turbines is a combination of two types of waterwheels, which have a vertical axis (overshot and swell turbines). The vertical shaft is made so that the generator is easier to install and all the blades get a boost in the flow of water. Most water turbines have fixed blades. In this research, the target of the novelty is a kinetic turbine with a vertical shaft which has a hinged blade. Hinged blades are blades that can move when the flow of water hits the blades, so that on one side of the turbine it will reduce the negative torque and on the other hand it will increase the rotation of the turbine. The results of the research that became the target, namely, obtained a turbine design that has more optimal turbine power and efficiency, compared to a turbine that has a fixed blade, so that this externally hinged blade kinetic turbine can contribute to the provision of rural electrical energy. This research method is an experiment by doing independent variations on the number of blades, and blade 10 has an optimum power value of 59.01 Watt. 12 30 2022 43 47 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true Manado State Polytechnic Institution Funding, through the Center for Research and Community Service (P3M). Not conflicts of interest to the best of our knowledge. Yes, in conducting the research, the researchers collaborated with the Talawaan Village Government for the use of irrigation canals, where the turbines will be placed. The Talawaan Village Government participated in this research, with a Statement of Willingness to Collaborate. One of the mandatory output forms of research that is carried out is by sending articles to International Journals until they are published. The research carried out is supported by research funds; the need for turbine manufacture can be met, as well as the availability of measuring instruments to support research, so that data collection can be carried out. The task of the team leader is to lead the team in every activity from the design/build of the outer hinged blade kinetic turbine, experimental data collection, data analysis, evaluation, research seminars, preparation of: - research reports, articles - indexed international journals, - Simple patent. Assisting the task of the team leader in the activities of the design/build of the outer hinged blade kinetic turbine and analyzing the resulting electrical output (trial).
