The efficiency computation is completely wrong!

Claiming 90% turbine efficiency will completely discredit the project in the eyes of experts. What about Carnot efficiency? What is the working temperature?

From real engineering computations and what I know about Tesla turbines, you will be happy if you can get 10% heat-to-mechanical work efficiency. Anyway, don't expect much more than that for small installations.

For a prototype, I will give you all the quality credit if you can get 5% global heat-to-electricity efficiency.
