Abstract

A turbine based heat engine that transfers energy from a moving fluid to a set of turbine 3 blades, allowing a turbine shaft 4 to do external work. The engine is characterised by the engine operating at a higher efficiency than the maximum theoretical efficiency predicted by the Carrot equation by virtue of the fact that it extracts both sensible heat and bulk kinetic energy from the fluid. The heat engine may comprise a metal walled conduit 1. The heat engine may comprise a circulation pump 2 for driving the working fluid around the system against the resistive force of viscous drag. The working fluid may be a liquid, vapour or a gas. The turbine may be coupled by the shaft to an electricity generator 5. A constricting nose 6 may be added to the front of the turbine blades so that fluid passes through the turbine blades at a higher mean speed than the mean speed when passing through wider parts of the conduit.
