Creating a Steam Turbine
I`m hoping to create a steam turbine to power a small light bulb. I was planning to heat water and create steam and then force it through the turbine which in turn would create the electricity to light 1 small light bulb. I am unsure as to how to build a simple enough turbine and how to pressurize the steam in order to get enough energy to turn the steam turbine. Any suggestions, thanks!
