Abstract:
1. A generator comprising: a spherical pressure container including a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers include at least one vacuum barrier layer, each of the plurality of layers defining a spherical shape, the pressure container defining a spherical cavity, the plurality of layers including at least one layer including a reflective medium or metallic coatings adjacent to the cavity, the cavity configured to hold a fluid; a fluid inlet coupled to the at least one layer, the fluid inlet in fluid communication with the cavity; a fluid outlet coupled to the at least one layer, the fluid outlet in fluid communication with the cavity; and at least one spinner system, the at least one spinner system including a spinner body and a spinner cap, the spinner body and the spinner cap at least partially located within the cavity, wherein the spinner body and the spinner cap are configured to impart a spinning motion on the fluid, wherein the spinner body and the spinner cap are each stationary, wherein the spinner cap defines a curved groove channel configured to impart the spinning motion on the fluid within the cavity, wherein the spinner body defines a spinner body passageway, the spinner body passageway in fluid communication with the curved groove channel; wherein the fluid is configured to absorb radiation in the cavity from a radiation source, the fluid outlet configured to release the fluid to perform work.
