	The prior work featured a turbine without seals between the outside rotor disk and the case. This means that the working gas was escaping partly out the side. Nonetheless, the past work succeeded in producing a whopping 4 kW of electric power when connected to the generator: it lit up a bank of 8, 500W shop lights.
