Rather than a nitromethane-fueled V-8 equipped with AiResearch turbos, Garrett’s exceedingly fast dragsters were powered by turbines running on air, albeit in highly compressed form. Even more ...

Originally, he was trying for a compressed air quadcopter. He’d already worked with an air turbine, but putting on a vehicle that can lift itself into the air turns out to have a lot of hidden ...

when the jet’s turbine engines produce less power. In the 1990s, fogging systems began to be used to boost power by evaporatively cooling the air entering the compressor inlet. Some took it a ...

The Gas Turbine Diagram result screen shows the major flows entering and exiting the gas turbine. This screen is available for both the NGCC and IGCC plant types: •Temperature In: Temperature of the ...

In a turbojet, a compressor compresses air. Fuel is added in a combustor and ignited, and the expanding exhaust drives a turbine that in turn drives the compressor since both are attached to the ...

Chrysler's so-called Turbine Car (left ... zero-emission fuel source—air. Compressed-air engines had been used in some locomotives and trucks since the 1800s, but Miller streamlined the design ...
