In another thread the topic of new supercritical steam turbines came up and I thought this deserved its own thread.
A new type of steam turbine (From industrial giant GE) which replaces the water with CO2 has been shown to produce 10,000kw from a small tabletop turbine. The total weight and size of the system is dramatically reduced.
This is due to the fluid density being so high under such pressure that it can use a turbine designed for fluid instead of gas.
