Abstract
A miniature gas turbine is under development with the aim of generating electrical energy from fuel. This system consists of a compressor, combustion chamber, turbine and generator. The turbine is a single-stage axial impulse turbine (Laval turbine) with a rotor diameter of 10 mm, made of stainless steel using die-sinking electro-discharge machining. It has been tested with compressed air to speeds up to 160000 rpm and generates a maximum mechanical power of 28 W with an efficiency of 18.4%. When coupled to a small generator, it generates 16 W of electrical power, which corresponds to an efficiency for the total system of 10.5%. The power density is mainly limited by the maximal speed of the ball bearings. The main losses are the blade profile losses and the exit losses. Higher speeds can considerably reduce the exit losses and therefore increase efficiency and power density. An improved turbine has been tested at temperatures up to 360 °C and generates up to 44 W of electrical energy with a total efficiency of 16%. A 20 mm diameter centrifugal compressor matching the pressure and flow characteristics of the turbine has been designed and is currently under construction.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
