Abstract

In recent years usage of fuels and energy are being increased, this results in crisis for decades. Hence necessity for the invention of new alternative has been increased. The different ways proposed the ways to reduce the existing energy and to reuse the waste energy. This paper proposes a cheap and effective way of designing and fabricating of Minto wheel that may be effective to run low duty applications such as motors, compressors. Since Minto wheel has high torque it can be used in nuclear power plants for driving pumps. The design process starts by considering its top level objective and passing these criteria to its sub assembled designs. Finally the paper proposes outline of theoretical background of Minto wheel, working principle, various design parameters, innovative use of fabrication works and industrial implementation ways. The design process involves the design of chambers, selection of liquid, amount of heat addition, heat rejection, efficiency and many more. These sub design parameters helps in finding out head in which the cycle can be operated. The fabricated work involves usage of available materials in and around effectively. As a result final assembly of the engine meets the objective.
