Optimizing steam turbines

As mentioned in previous chapters, the optimization of the steam turbine could be great deal, since even relatively small wins could achieve on a large scale huge results. Just try to bear in mind that approximately 90 % of all generated electrical power worldwide, is of the thermal conversion kind using steam turbines energy converters. 

In addition we are going to see how easy it could be to optimize the steam turbine in order to reach not only slightly better results but rather huge optimization, introducing numerous but easy to implement, very simple methods, One of the methods could be implementation of the fractal structure, implementing relatively larger number of smaller generators to contribute in power plant, rather then one huge. This measurement would allow for lower investment, simple installation and maintainers. Furthermore, such fractal system is scalable and extendable in the time and power, so that the investment could be kept lower, and even could be organized as self-sustained. 

My preferable turbine is bladeless Tesla turbine since it is very cheep to build and very efficient. In the matter of fact, the measuring of efficiency is mystified in science, since confusion is intentionally introduced of concurrency reasons. Therefore we are going to avoid any competition among different measurement methods in order to compare the efficiency with available steam turbines, bur rather to concentrate on improvement of the resultant energy, introducing numerous methods to reach this aim. The main general advantages of Tesla turbine leis near simplicity in huge working rotational speed, based upon the missing blades, so that working speed amounts in the range of 10.000 rpms.

Another optimization would concern introduction of additional environmental energy sources, such as in case of speeding up the steam stream before intake into the turbine, in order to increase the kinetic energy of the fluid, since speed of fluid as well as mass of it is of immense influence on the resulting energy. This is simple to achieve using the snail shaped accelerator, for speeding up the steam stream released out of the pressure pot. The fluid mass, we are going to significantly increase simple involving environmental air in driving the turbine, mixing the environmental air mass with steam stream using simple jet-nozzle. Involving additional air mass mixed with pressure steam stream is going to increase the speed of mixture fluid, thus the power of the turbine, as well as inner pressure of the turbine. For illustration, depends on jet-nozzle, multiplying air mass factor could amount up to 20 folds initializing steam stream quantity, thus initial stream quantity could be kept low. This would allow for relatively small size pressure pot, thus the whole application. 

Additional spearing method of the steam stream could be achieved by introducing the regulated closed loop, On this purpose, one part of the exhausted fluid is looped back to the intake via the jet-nozzle. The quantity of the fluid stream could be controlled by electrically or mechanically regulated valves. The overpressure should also be regulated automatically using security valves. 

We could simple scale the turbine depends on developed maximal power in two ways, by adding additional disks in the stack mounted at the shaft, and by resizing the diameter of the disks, following certain rules to match the global harmony and achieve additional energy, based on coupled resonant circuits. Just remember that all rotating systems are oscillators, which resonant frequency depends on their rotational speed but their longitudinal resonant frequency depends on their size, thus diameter. If these both values match the planetary resonant properties, additional energy is going to be supplemented to our energy converting system. This process have to be controlled using above described regulating feedback.
