Desk-Size Turbine Could Power a Town
GE Global Research is testing a desk-size turbine that could power a small town of about 10,000 homes. The unit is driven by “supercritical carbon dioxide,” which is in a state that at very high pressure and up to 700 °C exists as neither a liquid nor a gas. After the carbon dioxide passes through […]
ECAT Technology and Power Density
Four shelves, each producing 250kW. Each shelf about 0.5 m high, 2 m wide and 4 m long. total 1 mW eCat reactor. ECAT Fuel Energy Density > 100 000 x oil ECAT Fuel Power Density > 100 kW/kg (Assume 10 kW was needed for your car, the fuel would weigh 100 grams) ECAT Fuel Reserves […]
