Your jet turbine has had energy added to it and expanded the air that came into the inlet and is blowing it out of the other end. To get drive of other than a...
Rather off subject, but of interest to Ron & Mary is the Diesel engine starting scenario. The engine is a Compression Ignition engine (aka 'Diesel' after the...
Why does the power output have to come from a second turbine shaft? If the starter is used as a generator I should be able to do it all with a single shaft? ...
A steam power plant can be built with no boiler certification /inspection hassles but it needs to be a monotube. The Steam car / boat market has many suppliers...
Well......Maybe you would run better in the cold but "my" engine doesn't. My oxygen exhangers frost up if they are worked too hard. This results in a condition...
