A power generation system 100 for generating power from dry ice includes an exhaust of an internal combustion engine 101 for releasing exhaust gases. The exhaust gases are filtered and carbon dioxide gas is isolated from the exhaust gases by the filter 102. A compressor 103 in gaseous communication with the filter 102 compresses and cools the carbon dioxide gases fed into the compressor 103. A heater 104 operably connected to the compressor 103 heats the solid carbon dioxide to a temperature above the Leidenfrost point. The heated carbon dioxide drives the turbine 105 to generate a rotary motion. The rotary motion of the turbine 105 drives the generator 106 to generate electrical energy. |
