Similar to the diesel turbine, but thanks to the alternate fuel source, the steam is much hotter alowing for an increased theoretical power. Any ideas on how to improve?

    Well it went through several iterations and optimizations. About 20 hrs with testing I'd say. Thermodynamics and 2D nature of tpt led to an unrealistic boiler system but I tried to make the most of it.

    WOW! How much time you spent to do this turbine? +1

    Yeah that would surely do the trick. It's just a lot of work. But will do one day.

    maybe stack insl on top of ttan.

    Unfortunately I found that setup leaks heat. 2 layers of ttan, 2 layers of insl and then again 2 layers of ttan do the job nicely. I may upgrade someday, but it is quite a bit of work for no change in effect.

    if you are looking for airtight an a kind of not thick version then i suggest wrapping titanium with frame.

    Diamonds are only to smoothen the rough edges. But I do agree if it were made from say titanium and isolation it would be much more realistic, but I found it difficult to make it contain all the pressure so decided to go with walls and diamonds for a perfect seal. If someone has a perfectly airtight and not too thick solution it would be gr8.

    remove diamonds?
