Due to the need to improve the energy supply in the rural sectors of the Latacunga canton, it is proposed to carry out the respective design, improving the quality of life of the inhabitants of the sector. In this research, the data obtained from the water channel of the Anrracas sector in the parish of Juan Montalvo in the city of Latacunga were used, taking into account as important data the value obtained from the water flow, the design and mechanical construction of the Archimedes screw type turbine prototype was elaborated, for the realization of this project several scientific articles and investigative documents referring to the subject were used. The construction of the design was made based on the data of the flow of the channel, for this a previous sketch was made in a 3D software simulator of mechanical design, for the proper functioning of the screw in the water was considered an average flow of 0.5 to 1.5 cubic meters per second. The materials for the construction and assembly of the prototype were selected after the analysis of the weight of the screw, dimensions, resistance of the structure, the materials selected for the assembly of both the structure and the turbine are corrosive materials because the turbine prototype will be submerged in water. Once the operation tests were carried out with a multimeter, the voltage measurement was taken, resulting in 13.5 V, and 550 rpm, with the values obtained led lamps were turned on, obtaining an optimal result for the project's functionality.
