Turbine engines must be accelerated to a high rotational speed in order to provide sufficient air compression for self-sustaining operation.

Turbine and Diesel engines are designed to use kerosene-based jet fuel.

Turbine starters are much simpler and are a natural fit for turbine engines, and thus are used extensively on large turbofan engines used on commercial and military aircraft.

* Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division, maker of the J-series of turbojet engines

Aircraft Gas Turbine engines ( Jet Engines ) are responsible for much of the aircraft noise during takeoff and climb.

* National Gas Turbine Establishment, a branch of the RAE used for design and testing of gas turbine engines

The Slemon Park business park ( formerly CFB Summerside ) hosts a concentration of several aerospace and transportation companies in former military buildings ; Vector Aerospace Engine Services Atlantic ( formerly Atlantic Turbines ) repairs and overhauls Gas Turbine aircraft engines, Testori Americas produces interiors for aircraft and mass transit surface vehicles, and Honeywell manufactures and repairs parts for aircraft.

It shared the standard Buick V8 engines, with a displacement of either or, and the unique continuously-variable design Twin Turbine automatic transmission.

Turbine engines can operate with a wide range of fuels, and jet-aircraft engines typically use fuels with higher flash points, which are less flammable and therefore safer to transport and handle.

* 1926: Alan Arnold Griffith publishes his groundbreaking paper Aerodynamic Theory of Turbine Design, changing the low confidence in jet engines.

* International Aircraft Support & Turbine Engine Sales-parts supplier for the Beechcraft King Air, 1900 Airliner and Pratt & Whitney Gas Turbine engines

Turbine engines use as much as 65 % of their overall generated power to run the compressor at the front of the engine.

Chrysler Turbine Cars were automobiles powered by gas turbine engines that the Chrysler Corporation made from 1962-1964.

He designed consumer products, standardized parts, created clean-lined designs for the company's graphics, developed a consistent corporate identity, built the modernist landmark AEG Turbine Factory, and made full use of newly developed materials such as poured concrete and exposed steel.

Turbine wheels on the N1 turbochargers are also made from steel for durability, rather than the lighter but weaker ceramic found on the standard turbine.

Turbine meter bodies are commonly made of bronze, cast Iron, or ductile iron.

As a result, Turbine revised its approach to expansion in the Update following in November: all players could now visit expansion regions, but those playing for free were still barred from most of its content until said purchase was made.

Bodies for the Chrysler Turbine were made by Ghia in Turin, Italy, with final assembly taking place in a small plant in Detroit, Michigan, USA.

It was finished in reddish-brown " Frostfire Metallic " paint, later renamed " Turbine Bronze " and made available on production automobiles.

Most of all, the Chrysler Turbine is a reminder that all the cool stuff used to be made in the U. S. I hope it will be again.

Roy and his team made adjustments such as removed parts of walls, replaced the Turbine Hall roof that had deteriorated and created more defined interior spaces generating another evident phase in the Powerhouse ’ s history.

The Brown-Curtis turbine which had been originally developed and patented by the U. S. company International Curtis Marine Turbine Company was developed in the 1900s in conjunction with John Brown & Company.

The Turbine Hall, which once housed the electricity generators of the old power station, is five storeys tall with 3, 400 square metres of floorspace.

Roe Canada Ltd. and merged with its Gas Turbine Division.

The surname of de Turbine, by which he is sometimes known in older scholarship, is only attested in the fourteenth century and possibly resulted from confusion with William de Corbeil, Ralph's successor at Canterbury.

In 2004 and 2005, Turbine entered business arrangements with Jolt Online Gaming to operate AC2 in Europe and with Sony Online Entertainment to distribute the game's first expansion, Asheron's Call 2: Legions, under the Station Publishing label.

Some current businesses based in Chatsworth are: 3M Corporation, Girl Scouts, Capstone Turbine, Hydraulics International, and with Lamps Plus having production and distribution facilities here.

In February 2002 the band released its first studio album The Second Stage Turbine Blade after signing with Equal Vision Records.

The Riviera was introduced on October 4, 1962 as a 1963 model, with the " Nailhead " V-8 as the only available engine, fitted with dual exhaust as standard equipment, and the Turbine Drive the only transmission, at a base price of $ 4, 333 ; typical delivered prices with options ran upwards of $ 5, 000.

The Riviera continued with minimal trim changes for 1964 including the discontinuation of leather upholstery from the option list, differing mainly in substitution of the old Dynaflow-based Twin Turbine for the new three-speed Super Turbine 400, which was marketed as Turbo Hydra-Matic by other GM divisions.

This was replaced with an igniter design from the National Gas Turbine Establishment and the problems were quickly sorted out.

After several more dates, he was given the chance to perform at Juergen Kramer's Dubmission parties in the Turbine club, together with the young resident DJ Kid Paul.

In 1994, Textron sold the Lycoming Turbine Engine Division, located in Stratford, Connecticut to AlliedSignal, who merged it with the Garrett Engine Division of AlliedSignal as part of AlliedSignal Aerospace, later becoming part of Honeywell Aerospace in 1999.

The two speed " Dual Path Turbine Drive " automatic was a Buick design and shared no common parts with the better known Chevrolet Power-Glide transmission.

The Variable Turbine Geometry incorporates guide vanes on the turbine wheel that change their angle of attack with exhaust speed, reducing boost lag at low speeds while opening up to prevent excessive back pressure at high RPMs.

Transmissions included a standard three-speed manual with column shift, four-speed manual with floor-mounted Hurst shifter or a two-speed automatic ; the latter was a version of Buick's Super Turbine 300.

Today, the Francis Turbine is the most widely used Water turbine in the world, including China's new Three Gorges Dam as the world's largest hydroelectric power station in the world, with a future installed capacity of 22, 500 MW.

Other important projects are Balcony with Wind Turbine ( Liverpool, 2004 ), Power from Nature ( Barefoot College, Rajasthan, India, and the Catherine Ferguson Academy, Detroit, Mich., USA, 2005 ), and A Farm in Murcia: Rainwater Harvesting ( Murcia, Spain, 2007 ).

He began writing Wadzeks Kampf mit der Dampfturbine ( Wadzek's Struggle with the Steam Turbine ) the following year, completing it by December 1914 although it was not published until 1918.

Actual tests of a Tesla Steam Turbine at the Westinghouse works showed a steam rate of 38 pounds per horsepower-hour, corresponding to a turbine efficiency in the range of 20 %, while contemporary steam turbines could often achieve turbine efficiencies of well over 50 %.

A few identifying features: the older Twin Turbine model was fitted with a rear pump, which meant the vehicle could be push-started ( considered desirable at the time ).

In contrast, the Triple Turbine unit did not have a rear pump, and could not be push started.

A single hydraulically dampened arm was mounted on the firewall for the steering. The front suspension was designed to allow as much width for the engine compartment as possible so that Rover's Gas Turbine engine could be fitted.

Shortly after this, he realised that steam turbines could be used to propel ships and, in 1897, he founded a second company, Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company in Wallsend.

Turbine could also defend the German cup and Indoor Championship, both with wins over Frankfurt.
