Lester Allan (or Allen) Pelton (September 5, 1829 – March 14, 1908) was an American inventor who contributed significantly to the development of hydro-power and hydroelectric power in the old West and world-wide. In the late 1870s, he invented the Pelton water wheel, at that time the most efficient design of the impulse water turbine.
