Turbine design evolved from Karsten's Heron's ring. Nice sound like a jet spooling up as it gets going. My favorite of his pieces.

  • how does it work

  • You put about 12 cc's of distilled water in the ball (top unscrews)...then about 10 cc's of denatured alcohol in the bowl under the ball...and light the alcohol. In a minute or so the water reaches boiling point and sends steam down thin tube towards the turbine blade. Steam simply shoots out a jet across the fins on the turbine blade making it turn.

  • That's an impressive little turbine !!

    Did you build it yourself ?

  • No...it was built by a German engineer by the name of Karsten Gintschel.
