how retarded is this idea?obviously the bearings would wear down quick and vibrations would cause increased friction. I don't know why or how I got this stupid idea, I'm not even a engineer. And it'd be horribly inefficient.. but would it work?
>>2885180>I don't know why or how I got this ideaprobably because you cataloged it subliminally because it just heros engine from the days before christ
>>2885185that is the inspiration yes
>>2885180The stator is not wires around the cable in one loop but more as a traditional motor.The wires need to cut the changing magnetic field.
>>2885180This kind of engine is not going to produce much power at all. If you want to make it it will work, adding a flywheel to the end might help smooth out fluctuations in power draw. If you want something better look into Tesla's steam turbine design. It used a bunch of disks inline with the path of steam and was fairly simple to make. Not as good as a modern standard turbine, but good enough.
>>2885180>but would it work?to do what?
>>2885180You're going to be drawing more torque through the generator than your turbine will produce. As others have said it needs a flywheel but you should consider increasing the diameter of your steam outlets to match that diameter.
>>2885180you're trying to make a steam engine with an efficiency close to zero? you're better off connecting a generator to a hamster wheel than that thingbut yeah in theory it might work and power an LED light
