I'm a new member to the group. My interest is primarily focussed on steam
turbines for use as an electricity generator, the steam being generated by solar
energy.
Does anyone have any info in this subject?
Thanks
George

I just spent 3 weeks in the shin nippon machinery factory in japan working with steam turbines from 5megawatt to 63megawatt. What exactly do you want to know?...
Solar and Steam turbine is not a good combination. If you wan to use solar, try solar with stirling engine. If you wan to use steam turbine, try biofuel with...
normally excitation is used to control the rpm of the generator. but a small turbine needs to run pretty fast so you might want to consider a permanent magnet...
solar one near barstow produced 10 megawatts using 1,818 mirrors of 782,000 square feet on 126 acres. it ran at 1050 degrees F and 2400 psi pressure. the...
I rest my case, all that for only 10 megs. You can cram a 180 meg fluid bed coal fire on 10 acres with a bag house and you have allmost zero emissions. Does...

for each house about 2000 watt-hours into a battery powered inverter system ... From: Gary S To: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009...
2000 watts, are you serious? that might work if you have nothing but a small fridge and some lights,,,2000 watts isn't enough electricity to run the A/C and...
look at your light bill where it says 'daily usage' - 2000 watts times 24 hours = 48,000 watt-hours for which you would get charged about $720 per day. is...
errrr.... 48,000 watt-hours is 48kwh, less than $5 (at £$0.10 per kwh) or am i missing something??? Oh and if you were to store/use 2kw, then over the course...
Bit confused here, seems to me storage would be energy (kWh) and rate of usage would be power (kW), that whole integral/differential relationship thing. Not...
efficiency would be really really poor. you need enough wheels to make the steam cold enough to condense. use instead a 2 or 3 cylinder piston steam engine...
whoops! those damn decimal points. about $0.15 per kwh in calif. ... From: Nick Haddock (UK) To: DIYGasTurbines@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009...

Dan, I'm not looking at getting into a pissing match. I know steam, turbines, and my Honda EU2000 doesn't have enough power to start my A/C unit if one...
I would think you could as long as you can superheat the steam. Why not just use photo cells or build a wind turbine? The wind blows at night. ... From:...
of course not - you a/c runs near 11amps, the stove is likely 10 amps, the microwave is likely 10 amps, the coffee pot is about 2 amps, and your 2000w...

Hi guys. If you talking 110volt north america. Average house A/C pulls around 4000watts per unit.(varies based on btu rating of unit as well as EER) but at...
Thanks Steven, I'm not an electrican, but I know 2000 watts cannot run a 28 foot boat let alone a house. I'm glad someone put the numbers out there. ... From:...
Right!, lets have a crack at this (where's John when we need him :-)) A recent English university study tells us that the average Annual household consumption...
Exactly. Duty cycle is a signficant factor in actual average consumption. Bear in mind, too, that voltage * current doesn't tell you much when it comes to...
I haven't factored in any costings or safety for the equipment to do this - for those of us who haven't yet won the lottery, it's quite unrealistic to even go...
