Is this an art project, to make something that looks like a pelton, or
an engineering project to make the curves match the efficient conversion of energy?
Anyway, an interesting project!

On 3D content central there is a pelton wheel 3D, And a paddle
There are several formats, solidworks, STEP, STL, etc.
Here is step version of the paddle, imported to MoI.
Looks a bit klunky, not due to MoI. (The Solidworks and STEP versions look klunky also, in other viewers.)
