ElectraTherm recently installed a 50-kilowatt machine that uses industrial waste heat as its “fuel”, offering yet another avenue for green energy. Dubbed the ElectraTherm Green Machine, that unit is able to save you abundant in recouping its purchase cost within three to four years, since electricity costs approximately three or four cents per kilowatt-hour during that instance. An organic Rankine cycle is used to produce out liquids that are soon

after transformed into a vapor, which in turn will move the turbine to generate electricity. The ElectraTherm Green Machine is proof that heat-to-electricity can be successful on a relatively small scale, capable of powering up to 40 homes simultaneously.
