Maybe it seems that efficiency might be an issue because I used the terms “engine” and “cycles” making it seem as if these cycles are happening rapidly. Try to think of them as replenishment of the boiler after maybe 4-5 minutes of steam release. I could also collect the steam via condensation...
The reason that I deviated from what everybody else does is precisely the black body concept. I want as much radiation to be absorbed as possible so the sphere with a glass window serves as the cavity. I am confident that devising a window that is safe at high pressures is just limited by the...
The reason I went the route that I did is because of the high pressures. I want there to be no back flow. Unless there is a way to prevent back flow at high pressures in a continuous system...You can imagine the input of new cold water as the water stops that a steam locomotive made back in the...
Thank you for the response! The highest physics I have taken is non calculus general physics. I have taken a chemistry based thermodynamics course as well. But sadly I have forgotten everything.. it was 5 years ago. I will try to ponder on the points you mentioned and do research.
Hello All,
This is my first post on this forum and I am here because I need help with an idea that I have.
I am thinking of a pressurized vessel with two unidirectional valves. One for water intake, and another for steam release.
The vessel will have a small sealed borosilicate glass “window”...
