What is a heated hydraulic fluid turbine? It is a local electric power source that doesn't require burning. The kinetic energy to drive or spin the enclosed kaplan/bulb type turbine derives from a standard hydraulic fluid. The fluid is first pressurized through 2 to 3 phases, depending upon load requirements. Then the fluid is heated to ~ 180 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This is well below the combustion range of hydraulic fluid. This heating increase the potential energy and the velocity of the fluid. The pressurized and heated fluid is fired into the kaplan bulb turbine chamber. The resistance of the load determines the torque that must be generated to spin the turbine. The fluid recirculates, to be reused over and over. Reusable Fuel. Robert
