Since I have an extra large turbo that I'm not going to use in my jet engine build I was thinking about turning it into a steam turbine. I will already in the process building a hot water steam rocket out of an old forklift propane tank. I don't care about damaging the turbo. I figure it will probably need at 10 to 1 reduction at least and then set the whole thing up on a four wheeler ( because I have an extra frame). My biggest concern honestly is flying metal bits in my giblets or getting way too hot of a steam bath.
Math is always my poor suit when coming up with things like this.

Hi Tyler
It should work , the horsepower developed is only a function of the mass flow per second and the velocity/deflection , the turb wheel doesn't really care what "fluid" is going through it .
Cheers John
