Machinary other than hydro requires a heat source to expand gas.
To create a revolving action in a turbine, high pressure gas must enter and low pressure gas must exit.
Expansion of a gas creates a pressure which is a force measured in bar. 1 bar being 14.2 psi or 1 attmosphere.
A number of gasses expand for more so than others upon application of heat.
Choosing a gas that has high expansion to little heat does the same work of a Steam turbine but does so using the heat floating around the house.
Choosing a gas that has high expansion to little heat means temperatures below zero can be exploited in heating gas to turbine drive force.
Carbon Dioxide is especialy suited as it has very high pressure levels for very little heat.
Room temperature (20*C) provides more than adequate heating to source home grown power (20 Kw and above) using a micro turbine.
Carbon Dioxide added advantage is its rapid (expansion) cooling when allowed to do so. Hence it being refrigerant R744.
This model requires construction, it employs a car Radiator.
Also a home made, off the shelf part, piston model performs the same work.
