From YouTube:
My goal for 2014 is grid independence by converting heat into electricity. This is a New Year’s resolution to stay on this project when ever I have free time to build an ORC ( not like in the Lord of the Rings). The working principle of the organic Rankine cycle is, the working fluid is pumped to a boiler where it is evaporated, and then passed through a turbine where it is finally re-condensed. Broke out the old “Thermodynamics for Engineers” text book from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A Low Temp solution for making Electricity. Can it be done? We are going to try.
