<p>Turbine- The turbine will take the hot pressurized air The heater is used to heat the compressed air as it and convert it into mechanical energy. It will power moves from the compressor to the turbine. Our heater both the alternator as well as the compressor. We are is out of a solar dish with a 1 KW heat input. In the mars unsure as to which turbine we will use either the Tesla rover it will be replaced by a radioisotope heat turbine or the standard turbine we inherited from the generator. The heater below will be fitted into a sheet previous group. metal cone that will be used as the heater in final assembly Standard Turbine-</p><p>Tesla turbine- The alternator is used to convert the mechanical energy from the spinning shaft into electrical energy the generator below is too large for our application and we will have to scale it down to get the proper electrical output required.</p><p>The compressor is used to compress air before it is heated on its way to the turbine. The compressor is powered by the turbine. Again we are unsure as to whether we will use a standard compressor or a tesla compressor the tesla compressor is the same as a tesla turbine. Pressure gauges and thermo-couples will be situated throughout the design so that we can get pressure readouts and better understand what sort of output to expect. A regenerator will be utilized in our closed system design so that we can increase heat input to the fluid before it goes into the heater we have some design ideas below.</p><p>Flanges will be used throughout our design so that we can better interchange parts of our design if something goes wrong or if we want to make modifications further down the road</p><p>This thingymabobber will be used to measure the output voltage from the alternator so that we can see if our Brayton cycle is producing the proper wattage it should be. A T-valve will be used in our system so we can easily change our cycle from open to closed without making any changes to our setup.</p>
