Conductive geothermal systems are characterized by a thermal regime due to conduction alone, often in the steady state. The working fluid is either present(e. g. in geopressurized systems) or must be supplied(Hot Dry Rock Systems). 1, record 1, English, - conductive%20geothermal%20system

Bladeless turbine... An assembly of plain metallic discs is mounted on a shaft, with narrow spaces between the discs. Geothermal fluid-hot water and/or steam-is admitted to the spaces between the discs at the periphery, and is directed to follow an inward spiral path towards a central exhaust port. The driving force is derived from frictional boundary layer drag between the fluid(s) and the disc surfaces. Such a machine would be very cheap to construct and to maintain : the discs could easily be dismantled, cleaned of chemical deposits and reassembled. 1, record 3, English, - bladeless%20turbine
