Basics
- A turbine that uses high pressure air to produce rotary motion
- Can be medium to large scale (the Open Source Tesla Turbine, or the Steam Engine would better suit smaller installations)
Used For
- Medium to Large Scale Power Generators
- Large Vehicles
- Gas Pipeling/Tank Flaring/Venting Infastructure
- Turbo Vacuum Pumps
- Turbochargers
Industy Standards
Existing Open Source Designs
Minimum Viable Product
- Scalable from medium size (larger backyard generators, to commercial generators) to large/super large size (Industrial Grade, Power Plant Grade, or Ship/Submarine Size)
- Made using the Open Source Digital Fabrication Construction Set, and/or the Open Source Metallurgy Construction Set
- As optimized as possible
Basic Design
Enclosure
- It holds everything together, and also provides the input and output ports
Turbine
- This converts the movment of the working fluid (air) into rotary motion
Axle
- This converts the movement of the turbine into rotarty motion
Universal Attachment Port (universal coupling may be a better name?
- This allows for easy attachment to the axle or clutch
Flywheel
- Provides a bit more stability in the movement of the turbine
Gearbox
- An optional gear reduction box (most likely using planetary gears) to give it more torque
