solar steam turbine
By Kwazai, Section Solar Posted on Mon Mar 06, 2006 at 01:14:27 PM MST
auto a.i.r. pump link where?

One of the posts in the last year related to solar steam had a mention of someone who had converted one of the automotive air pumps to a low pressure steam turbine. perchance does anybody have a link to info on what needs to be fixed(diy'ed) on one? I have two of them in my crap pile and enough stoff for a nice size trough collector.

I had seen those before, but there was mention recently in one of the posts here of using an automotive a.i.r. pump as a steam turbine. I have been unable to locate the site (or the post) after some searches. The a.i.r. pump is part of the pollution control stuff on most of the 70's ,80's and 90's GM cars. it is an air injector or air pump. I forget exactly why its called a.i.r. . (air injection recirculator???)
