my only question is, what advantage does this have over the turbines we have been using for the last 40 years ? economy ? if i recall there was a cruise ship built in the 50s that was the first to use turbines, was the fastest thing on the ocean at the time. | ||

I remember seeing this last year...the damned thing is overclocked at 101rpms or something like that. I think normal operating speed was just a few below that, like 97rpms, but the HP difference was something like 35,000 from just those 4 more rpms. Somewhere there's a much more comprehensive website on it... Those pictures are incredible, though...I love the ones with people in there for scale - that thing is HUGE! ______________ The "spikes" on the piston rods are hollow tubes that go into the holes you can see on the bottom of the pistons (left picture) and inject oil into the inside of the piston which keeps the top of the piston from overheating. Some high-performance auto engines have a similar feature where an oil squirter nozzle squirts oil onto the bottom of the piston. ______________ Sounds familiar, no? edited by darthane on October 08, 2003 edited by darthane on October 08, 2003 |
