A flash steam powered flywheel turbine is provided comprising a stator housing with an internal channel for the flash and expansion of steam, the channel having a plurality of jet orifices to direct jets of expanding steam toward a rotary flywheel which is fixed to a rotational shaft within the stator housing. The rotary flywheel. is fitted with a plurality of inlet jet passages generally extending radially inwardly from the peripheral surface of the flywheel and oriented such that the force of expanding and impinging steam causes the flywheel to rotate about its central axis. Each inlet jet passage merges into one or more outlet jet passages oriented generally laterally such that the force of discharging steam causes further rotation in reaction to the discharging steam. The discharging steam is directed against steps or depressions formed on the inner lateral walls of the stator housing to add a jet-propulsion effect. in a clean and renewable manner, rotational energy and power will be generated, and the flywheel turbine and rotational shaft can be used to drive an electricity generator or as a prime mover. |
