IT 10 Project Redstone Turbine with Integral Pump in One Rotating Element |
IT 10 Redstone Turbine The IT 10 Redstone Turbine is an experimental 6-inch diameter turbine designed for small-scale power production, suitable for residential use or low-power applications (IT10: 1-10 kW).Project Goals: Integrate a liquid pump into a single rotating component. Instead of using a traditional shaft-driven feed pump, the turbine is designed to be counter-rotating as a single unit.Working Fluid: Compatible with R-245fa, R-134, compressed air, pressurized water, and available in a stainless steel version for use with CO2.Modular Block Assembly: Since 2008, our Modular Block concept has been used in hundreds of turbine prototypes and production assemblies. This version features square blocks with 3/8 fasteners and threaded bores.Purpose: Enable small-scale power production without the need for an external feed pump.Rapid Configuration: The modular assembly allows for quick turbine reconfiguration and testing with various working fluids and heat sources. The basic design supports pressures up to 300 psi, which is dependent on the back magnetic coupling block made from HDPE. By using a non-magnetic metal or composite fiber for a stronger backplate, higher pressures can be accommodated.Magnetic Coupling: The design includes a 6-inch diameter magnetic coupling and follower, allowing for an external generator or drive unit to be mounted.Plans and licensing are available.IT10 Revenue Model: Revenue is based on gross sales or grid savings, excluding the cost of acquiring waste heat or pumps.Annual Revenue Projections for IT10 (operating 24 hours/day, 365 days/year, producing 10 kWh/day = 87,600 kWh/year):• At $0.20 per kWh: $17,520 USD per year• At $0.40 per kWh: $35,040 USD per year• At $0.80 per kWh: $70,080 USD per yearIT 10 Project Redstone Turbine with Integral Pump in One Rotating Element (pdf) |
Infinity Project Redstone Counter-Rotating Turbine and Feed Pump in One Moving Part |
IT 10 Redstone Turbine Assembly Turbine Flow: The goal of this project is to show that a ORC turbine can be made with one rotating part. The working fluid is introduced into the front center of the rotor, goes through a heating project using cavitation or induction magnetic heating, is further heated (if necessary) and then expanded through the outer part of the rotor. Functions:1. Internal cooling via integral fluid channels.2. Preheat via center of rotor (while heated flow is expanded).3. Cavitation heating of liquid.4. Induction heating of liquid.5. Counter-rotating flow.6. Common rotating element allows turbine to power the feed pump, cavitation, and induction heating.7. Magnetic or legacy permeter bearings (no center shaft per se since the rotor becomes the shaft).8. Magnetic coupling drive for shaft drive or coil generation output options.9. Low maintenance from less parts and one rotating element.10. Multiple channel options allow additional heating, cooling, or other functions to be performed by the rotating part and working fluid (extraction of materials in working fluid, electrostatic precipitation, spinning disc reactor functions, etc.). |
