1. An apparatus for generating power, comprising:
a heated fluid reservoir comprising a heated fluid;
a back-pressure control channel in the form of a closed-loop, wherein the back-pressure control channel comprises a fluid mobilization device configured to circulate an internal fluid and to form a low-pressure region within the back-pressure control channel;
an energy extractor coupled to the heated fluid reservoir and the back-pressure control channel, wherein the energy extractor comprises an energy extraction rotor, wherein the low-pressure region in the back-pressure control channel causes the heated fluid from the heated fluid reservoir to be entrained through the energy extractor forming an entrained fluid, and wherein the energy extraction rotor is configured to extract power from the entrained fluid; and
a pressure ejector coupled to the back-pressure control channel, wherein the pressure ejector is configured to transmit the entrained fluid to an exhaust reservoir.
