Except the ideal one doesn't exist and multistage stream turbines are more efficient in practice.

- Faaak 9y agoBut I suppose that having a multistage steam turbine in mars in not something will see at first
- jacquesm 9y agoAnd more reliable too. The Stirling does have one huge advantage which is that it is entirely self contained.
- hwillis 9y agoDefinitely not at that scale. Small turbines have low efficiency because tip speed increases quadratically as they get smaller.
