Description
At least two of the GVCS use steam to drive them: the Steam Engine and the Steam Turbine. Both of these machines convert expanding steam into rotational power, power that can be used to drive other GVCS tools or generate electric power. Excess or vented steam can also be used to heat a home or greenhouse.
Design
Over time, OSE will explore the design and development of prototype steam generators. Some of the early requirements and design efforts are presented on the following pages:
- Steam Engine Design/Boiler
- Boiler
- Flash Steam Generator
- CHP Stove Heat Exchanger
- Solar Concentrators
