turbine

Since the gearbox is at the top of the turbine tower it also makes construction and maintenance more difficult.

The APU is essentially a small gas turbine generator, so the exhaust temperature is approximately 1000°C.

It's a jet engine, although normal jets have to have elaborate turbine-compressor thingys to do the air compression.

The imbalance of a broken blade will cause damage to the turbine instantly, which will cascade into further damage.

If a wind turbine couldn't cover it's own energy costs, the entire thing would have been a complete loss.

Or run air fans with your nuclear steam turbine to blow air across your wind turbines.

It is very likely that would result in a very bad day if it were ingested by the turbine powering the helicopter.

It's just as likely the drone would be above the helicopter and rotor wash would pull the drone _towards_ the turbine inlets.

Given that they have it running on a 7MW turbine that is pretty cool.

The hose on my traditional BiPap turbine machine doesn't bother me at all.

Gas turbine plants are better at handling rapid changes in supply and demand.

Possibly pulverized coal could be used in a turbine but I don't know how well that works.

I mean, if we "slow down the wind" with a wind-turbine, maybe there is a new complementary process which takes care of putting sun energy in the wind again.

Right now you can find various studies claiming that shutting down coal power stations would save countries billions in health costs, but that's not the kind of "scandal" that makes it into the mainstream media, though every theoretical bird killed by a wind turbine is, strangely.
