A wind turbine is a gadget creates electrical energy by changing the wind’s kinetic energy. Wind turbines are designed in an extensive variety of horizontal and vertical shaft. The littlest turbines are utilized for applications, for example, battery charging for caravans or boats or to supply power to traffic signals. Somewhat bigger turbines can be…
The gas turbine is a type of internal combustion engine therefore also known as combustion turbine. Basically, this turbine uses liquid fuel or natural gas to get mechanical energy. The basic principle of the gas turbine is somehow similar to the steam turbine but gas turbine uses air instead of water. These are three main…
The steam turbine is a type of impulse reaction turbine which converts the thermal energy into mechanical energy. The history of this turbine goes back to the first century but Sir Charles Parsons invest the modern manifestation of the steam engine in 1884. This turbine has applications in transport mediums which use steam engines like trains and ships…
Turgo Turbine was developed Gilkes Energy Company in 1919. The design of this impulse water turbine is inspired from Pelton turbine. The working principle of this turbine is same as other impulse water turbines. It converts the kinetic energy from the water jet into mechanical energy. The main difference between the Turgo and Pelton turbine is the…
Lester Allan Pelton designed an impulse water turbine in the 1870s and named it Pelton Turbine. Impulse water turbine converts the potential and kinetic energy of the impulses of moving water into the mechanical energy in order to rotate the water wheel. Water wheels are in used for centuries. Initially, they were mainly used to milling…
Wind turbines are undeniably great. They don’t pollute and they do make electricity. In order to operate they use 500-600 times less water than coal or nuclear sources. They come in sizes as small as 250 watts, the sort you might see in someone’s backyard or on their roof. On a windy day they could make…
Wind power is currently the fastest-growing source of electricity production in the world with about a quarter of a million wind turbines operating around the globe in over 90 countries. We now have an output of 336 GW (June 2014), with wind energy production at 4% of total worldwide electricity usage, and growing rapidly; this has prevented 518…
General Electric has installed its 1,500th wind turbine in Canada, bringing the vendor’s fleet capacity in the country to 2GW in four provinces – Alberta, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec. The landmark turbine is a GE 1.6MW unit with a 100-meter rotor for China Longyuan Canada’s Dufferin wind farm, the developer’s first wind farm in North…
In 1913, Nikola Tesla discovered Tesla turbine was produced again in today’s technology. Tesla is a really genius smartest person i have ever seen. He invented AC Current Generators and Motors, Radio, Fluorescent, Radar, MRI, Laser Technology, Robotics Technology, Earthquake Machine and many more in fact, it can be used today, thanks to science, man. I think Tesla is clearly the best scientist. How does the Tesla turbine works ? Wind…
Prior to the widespread availability of commercial electric power, hydroelectric power was used for irrigation and operation of various machines, such as watermills, textile machines and sawmills. By using water for power generation, people have worked with nature to achieve a better lifestyle. The mechanical power of falling water is an old resource used for services and productive uses. It was used…
