Ljungström turbine, general info?

[Chincha40]

I'm currently building a turbo-shaft engine and I am trying to find a good, yet simple to build free power turbine for extracting the exhaust energy of the jet engine. The Ljungström turbine seems promising as it is compact and easily machined from a 3 axis cnc machine. Does anyone know of the sort of rough math I could do to know how big my turbine must be or where to get this information? Any recommended textbooks?

Thread reopened after the OP clarified the meaning of "free energy"

"free power turbine" is what the guys in the industry call it. Its basically a power turbine located downstream of a jet engine. Usually used for providing rotary power to some device, a gen set, a vehicle a propeller etc.

One of which eventually led to this one. There are still 2 or 3 levels (which I did NOT trace) to get to the early articles published in 1915.
