The researchers have developed innovative rare Earth oxide coatings that enable turbine engines to operate at higher ...

There are very few machines as complex to build as a turbojet engine. The turbine blades on a commercial airliner are grown from a single crystal of metal. The engineering tolerances are crazy ...

Russell Sutton is a man after our own heart. The craftsman has spent the last four years building a nine-cylinder radial engine using a smattering of Honda XR600 singles for his airboat.

Smaller than a standard street bike and larger than a pocket bike it comes with a 50cc engine and is street legal. The gas turbine is being constructed from a Cummins ST-50 usually found in large ...

A research team led by the University of Virginia (UVA) has developed new protective coatings that allow turbine engines to ...

The engine is the lifeblood of a car. It converts fuel, usually gasoline, into physical motion that turns the wheels and ...

Ever seen a four-cylinder engine with a cross-plane crank? A conventional four-cylinder engine has a flat-plane crank, which means two crank journals face up while the other two face down ...

A multidisciplinary research group has formulated new protective coatings to allow turbine engines to run hotter -- with potential dividends for the environment and people.

A gas turbine engine is a device that is designed to convert the thermal energy of a fuel into some form of useful power, such as mechanical (or shaft) power or a high-speed thrust of a jet. The ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the National Energy Technology Laboratory have developed and 3D ...

Optimizing the airflow within turbine engines is critical in reaching peak efficiency and performance. Airflow management guarantees that the engine operates within the design parameters, maximizing ...

Wind turbine technicians, also known as wind techs, are the professionals in charge of inspecting and maintaining wind turbines. That means that most of their days are spent way up high in a ...
