Problem: Steam turbines generate most of the world’s electricity, and approximately 42% in the US [1]. Keeping them in operation is vital. Condensation in the low-pressure stage can result in ...

Pratt & Whitney has growing confidence over the potential for a revolutionary hydrogen-combustion, steam-injection turbine engine in the 2050s, after component-level testing of the “hardest parts” of ...

MIT says its new solid-state thermophotovoltaic heat engine can harvest more energy from heat than the average steam turbine, at a fraction of the cost and using no moving parts. Huge implications for ...
