yes, a good place to go for practical help on building one is to mail order an instructional manual from Camden Miniature Steam, in the UK:
www.camdenmin.co.UK
the same basic design can be adapted to run on compressed air, steam, or even as a combustion engine.
Respectively, the material requirements differ for each:
a compressed air model can be built using DVD discs i.e better able than a cdrom for surviving the high rotational speeds;
a steam one, I attempted by using precision discs out of an old computer mainframe from the 80's; and
a combustion model would need to have its discs made from steel etc in order to be able to survive the ignition temperatures

What is a steam bled means?
bled ateam is used in turbines.
Is jacking oil required when stopping steam turbines?
jacking oil is not required when stopping the steam turbine
Is there a list of steam turbines gas turbines and gear boxes installed in oil and gas petrochemistry in the Middle East?

How does a biomass generator work?
Most biomass generators work by heating water to generate steam which then turns turbines for electricity generation. Different generators use different types of biomass fuel.
What is the Number of parsons steam turbines in service?
lots, still going strong.
Why vacuum is created in steam turbines?
Vacuum is created in steam turbines to increase the efficiency of the turbine by lowering the pressure at the exhaust end, which allows the steam to expand and produce more work. This helps to generate more power from the same amount of steam.
What are the capacity of Steam Turbines?
The capacity of each steam turbines has more than 530 GW in over 6000 installed units. The steam turbines provide high reliability and sustained high efficiency.
What is the methods of compounding of steam turbines?
no
What type of combustion engine would you classify steam turbines used in power plants?
Steam turbines are external combustion engines.
Why is excessive moisture in steam undesirable in steam turbines?
moisture present in steam due to quality of steam.

How does a fuel burning power station work?
First they put the fuel in a burner to burn it, then when it is burning it heats up water above it which cause the water to produce steam. The steam is used to turn turbines then the turbines turn the generators, which then leads to energy.
After diploma in mechanical engineering you which fields you can starat your study?
steam turbines and gas turbines
Are steam turbines slow machine?
yes

How can steam be turned into usable energy?
The steam can be used to turn a generator's turbines and make electricity.
