Engineers have developed a heat engine with no moving parts that is as efficient as a steam turbine. The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say. Engineers at MIT ...

MIT says its new 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 future ...

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 ...

Wire arc additive manufacturing allowed this robot arm at ORNL to transform metal wire into a complete steam turbine blade like those used in power plants. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s ...

A new design with no moving parts converts heat to electricity more efficiently than a steam turbine and could lead to a fully decarbonized power grid. Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable ...
