Fantastic Model Karsten Gintschel direct drive steam turbine power plant. The micro dynamo on the back of the turbine is turning at the full speed of the turbine. Watch as the lights get brighter and brighter as the turbine spools up. These little lamps put out a tremendous amount of light, for such a tiny turbine and generator.

  • This video is brilliant wonder where did you purchased the miniature generator?and all other things, exactly what picture on my mind to save the heat loss. That what I need for my projects,do appreciated if you could direct me to the seller.

  • This model was made by Karsten Gintschel, in Germany. I bought it from an engineer, in Los Angeles, who had tweaked it up a bit. Good luck, finding one like it.

  • thats amazing! whit kind of bulbs were those? ive got a couple m ore questions, but ill ask them later

  • I believe they are 5mm, fully diffused, pure white, LEDs.

  • It's difficult to capture the sound of them properly isn't it?

  • Certainly, once the pitch of the turbine gets high enough, the camera cannot properly record it.

  • Man, that sounds like it Could power a house

  • Hm... Good for laptop charging... :)))

  • that's surely a rankine engine( not fully a rankine but likely to be that way) and I'm wondering where is the exhaust tube for vapor comes out...after it enters the mini turbine?

  • you could focus a parabolic reflector or a fresnel mirror onto the boiler then you would not need to waste natural gas.

  • :0  HOLY....... FREAKIN AWESOME.

  • Rube Goldburg machine. xD

  • PRESS 3, 4, 5, 3, 3, 4, 5, 3 for "frere jacque, frere jacque"

  • SOUNDS LIKE 747 ENGINE RUNNING

  • i wait for a Mini nuclear power generating Station to do the same

  • wow, thats fast. if you fast-forward the video in about 10-sec-steps, you hear a kinda gamut... lol
