why not skip the turbine? have your steam plumbed into a spinning fitting like on a hose reel on the flywheel. put little steam outlets on the outer edges of the wheel, and use the steam to spin the wheel, running a generator or altenator. one good burst of steam could keep it spinning awhile. i may try this out soon, as well as a powersource that uses steam to lift a bowlingball dropping onto a ferriswheel type thing. on the way down, it will spin the wheel,then drop back onto a chute, to return to the lift. using a hollow piston inside the steam chamber, that starts to rise when the bowling ball caps the top of the piston. this way, bouyancy and gravity are two of the forces running the thing. air pressure could also be used, to keep from making steam
