1,489 wordsThe idea of forced air induction by turbine, or turbo, is not new and has it's mass production roots in WWII fighter planes. What is new, however, is its application to passenger automobiles. Unlike a near constant high RPM fighter engine, an automobile requires wide-open throttle (WOT) power availability throughout its entire operating range. Previous automotive turbo applications acted like an on-off power switch with a five second delay, decreasing drivability, rather than providing the smoot...

1,043 wordsThe idea of utilizing the physical principle of reaction on a large scale by means of rockets is usually attributed to China in the thirteenth century. Not until after the Second World War, however, did rocket technology mature to a state which made the idea of space travel a practical possibility, owing largely to a giant step forward during the war itself. Although earliest models of the steam turbine date back as early as the 17 th century, practical applications of the turbine engine had to ...

Combustion Chamber Kinetic Energy
2,012 words... tion. A proportion of the compressed air is permanently bled, either through circumferential ly arranged bleed manifolds or through hollow stator vanes. Bleed air is used for aircraft systems such as cabin pressurization and heating, wing leading edge de-icing, and for electronic systems temperature control. The engine itself also requires bleed air both for de-icing the front frame support struts and nose cowl, and for cooling the turbine frame and blades. Guide vanes are used to impose a d...

Fossil Fuels Generate Electricity
1,279 wordsHYDROELECTRIC POWER The idea of electricity started around 500 B. C. as the Greek philosopher Thales experimented with amber, a fossilized tree sap, by rubbing it and observing that it starts to attract certain types of materials, this is the first documented study of static electricity. In 1646 the term electricity was coined by Walter Charlton to describe the attraction of the different materials. Throughout the 1700 s many advancements in the study of electricity were made to include the idea...
