Hello,
I am a complete novice and would like to build a simple closed loop rankine cycle that generate electricy, even if it only enough to power a light bulb. I want to learn more about thermal energy conversion in a hands on way, but I am having trouble finding any simple, easy to follow instructions online detailing how to go about building something like this:
a heat source applied to a working fluid, which then boils to turn a small turbine before being routed to a radiator, where it gives off its heat. then compressed and sent back to the heat source.
Like I said, i am novice and would prefer not to catch a face full of hot steam, so I would love some detailed instructions.
Anyone have a link to a project they really liked? or a book? something, anything really.
Thanks
