A group of Mechanical Engineering students present their solution to a heat recovery system applicable to the average family car. Central to their design is the steam turbine!

Absolutely! I've been saying this. It's 120 year old technology. We used steam electric in WW2, because diesle electric is not so fuel flexible. You could run it on propane, wood pellets, whatever is cheap and available. You could drive it while the boiler is still cold. We don't need hight tech, cobalt batteries, mined with child slave labor, in the Congo.

Is that power calculation done when a load is attached to it? Or did you just calculate the power from the torque it requires to spin a free spinning turbine to 12k rps?

hmmm it took me a while to get the format, what the video is actually about is kinda hard to follow in the beginning. However I really love how in depth you go with the different parts with theory and calculation, a real rarity on youtube! There are however some prerequired information that I must admit to be lacking, which I wouldn't mind if you explained. But overall a great video ^^

Idea - Could you use hot water spray as a fuel injection turbo? The pressure when initiated will create a function that is optimized at that location.

@atticus2581 2 жыл бұрын

You could, yes. But what would probably be more effecient is to just use water as the engine coolant. It would get to boiling point in under 10 minutes I think, depending on the size of engine. Right now, we specifically use engine coolant that has a higher boiling point than water, in a radiator. You could have a cogeneration system where the high-temp engine coolant is used as-needed, else it uses water to cool the engine and run a boiler and a turbine. Could be a good design for a hybrid-electric vehicles, especially propane/biogas hybrids. However, you would need to cast a custom engine block to include coolant paths for the water. Right now, I think most engines only provide a coolant path for the one radiator. Although I guess you could squeeze in a water pipe somewhere, maybe even just get your heat direct from the radiator.

What do you calculate to be the lifespan of the bearings and what equipment would be required to replace them?

@atticus2581 2 жыл бұрын

That really depends on the quality of bearings used. If this device is implemented, there's going to be multiple models, and some will be made from cheap parts. But between 10,000 and 50,000 operating hours is a good estimate. As for replacing the bearings, a hydraulic shop press and a screwdriver would be fine. Basically same idea as a wheel bearing replacement.

Great work guys! Any efficiency numbers?🧐

Here's an interesting number 80%-95% of the energy during combustion is waste heat.

@brettmoore3194 6 ай бұрын

So are you taking automobile waste heat to produce steam to make more electricity or pneumatic assist???? Will the steam be captured and condensed??? Ive got more questions but lets see if theae two will be answeres🎉🎉🎉🎉

What (English-speaking) teams/people/companies remain, today, who could come up with a 20-30-hp micro steam turbo-generator? Is there anyone left?

There is no such thing as a 30 hp micro generator lol.. you’re living in a fairy world

@ShashankB94 8 ай бұрын

@@craigrmeyerI had hopes too that a micro generator can generate 20hp. But after a bit of research I found that for that power you’ll need a steam flow of (guessing) half a kg to 1kg per second and 5-10 bar pressure ..a turbine the size of a automobile turbocharger can probably generate 5-10hp optimally

I hope you facktered real life experience in your design programs, Your making a high pressure water/steam jet. Loves to eat metal at conjunction points. Computers programs ARE only helpful in design. Takes real world experiences to make somthing feasible.... Praise YAH

not if the steam is superheated and dried. once dried there will be no erosion.
