The heat thing... can you use a perfectly sealed turbine or no? Sealed as in the water would not escape so it just goes through the rankine cycle... probably no

The heat thing... can you use a perfectly sealed turbine or no? Sealed as in the water would not escape so it just goes through the rankine cycle... probably not enough to do that... maybe thermopiles(probably not without a cold part).
- nradov 6y agoI haven't done the math but the problem with that approach is that computer chips just aren't hot enough to regenerate much power from the waste heat. Any power efficiency gains would be lost from increased payload weight and the higher risk of mechanical failure.
