At the test when the output was 13.5kw the steam pressure was 14.5bar with a 4mm Laval nozzle the water amount was about 3litre/min and the vacuum in condenser was 60%. The output was only blowing air with the turbo and measuring the temp and flow. Here is a film on the test. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c02EpNenMXs

So you just took the turbo propeller with part of the original turbo housing, and put on a new housing for steam entry?

Yes and I even put a bit of iron after the turbo propeller.I haven't done so many test so i can't say how much better it become. Here is a picture of that. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/danielturbin/899.jpg

Tell me more about the oil tank? Where are you using oil in the steam cycle? Are you talking about oil from bearings? Is this where the issues with proper seals come in?

The tank was under the turbo so the oil from the turbo bearing easy can go down to the tank. There is a little electrical pump in the tank to supply the turbo bearing with oil. The tank was connected to the condenser so there was same pressure in the tank. I was using a old turbo, perhaps a newer don't leak so much.

How are you generating your steam? It seems that you have some large boiler available?

I have build many different boiler. This one very easy to build but is big. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/danielturbin/649.jpg Here is another one http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/danielturbin/824.jpg And the last one I build, very good efficiency. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/danielturbin/1160.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/danielturbin/1161.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/danielturbin/1162.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/danielturbin/1163.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/danielturbin/1164.jpg

Can you tell me the exact car model from which you got the turbo? I may want to try the same.

I don't no what car model it came from but the size of exhaust propeller is..inducer 92mm, exduser 79mm. so it's a big turbo and it's the only one I tested.
