Latest and best way to clean windows with the Karcher WV50 cordless window vacuumby greatwaldo14,125 views
Good Morning PM,
Please accept my video submission for the Backyard Genius Competition. My submission is a steam turbine powerplant scaled down to a size where the waste heat from the condenser can be used for home heating. In a typical powerplant when three pounds of fuel is burned, the energy from two pounds gets discarded and only the third pound produces useful electricity. My system uses all the fuel's energy, converting it all into usable heat and electricity so there is no waste.
