Unusual design of a free-flow hydropower station
Hydro:
Doesn't this look like their design?

No.
Your first diagram is a vertical axis design. Your Youtube video is a horizontal axis design.
They are completely different.

It matters A LOT!!! The entire theory is based on "layers" of pressure caused by gravity. Such layers are IMPOSSIBLE to extract energy from vertical axis!!!

There are no axes at all.

As far as I understand, the energy is obtained not from the axes (vertical or horizontal), but from the flow of water.
At the beginning of the topic, a machine with a vertical axis is shown.
It seems like you didn’t have any questions about it, except that it’s kinematically awkward.
