Dragonseye Expander- dry run

Dry run of the expander section of the prototype. http://www.zvorenergytechnology.com The prototype is in full sun and oriented to magnetic south (you can briefly see the compass on the far corner). Only 1/4 of the available collector surface is used to power the motor. We built an axial expander because it was cheap (about $5). In theory a radial expander/turbine would actually GENERATE both power and refrigeration but I'm just going with the axial flow for now because of cost.

I think you should have started by explaining what the purpose of the device is. Then maybe a quick run down of the theory of operation. Once you've done that you can start pointing out specific components.

If you look at the videos from the earliest to the latest it should be clear.

Well I get that you trying to make power using the heat component of solar energy. But your theory of operation isn't clear at all. Looks like it might be something similar to a steam turbine. Whats the significance of the tank being non-magnetic?
