Look up the Bloodhound SSC, they've put the Eurojet EJ200 turbofan engine from the Eurofighter Typhoon into it to break the land speed record.

How do you use the word turbine in a sentence?
My dadd uses turbine to heat the gas of hiss engine after he stopped at the gas stop and didn't find any gas left. ( This may be a weird looking sentence for turbine,but at least I got an A on it. )
What relationship exsists between turbine and generator?
A turbine is powered by such things as steam, burning gas or oil, water, or wind. The turbine is a type of engine, which might be thought of as a more efficient choice than a gas engine or reciprocating steam engine for doing the same job. The turbine could do many things ranging from powering a vehicle such as a helicopter, a ship, a locomotive, or a piece of equipment such as a centrifuge, a pump, or a generator. When a turbine powers a generator, the generator makes electricity.
What is the function of Gas Turbine Generator?
Gas turbines are engines. Gas turbines, turboprops and turboshafts all work similarly--the engine turns a fan; the air coming off the engine's fan turns another fan, which is connected to a shaft that does the work you bought the engine to do. In fact, the most popular turboprop engine--Pratt & Whitney's PT-6--is also available set up as a turboshaft or a gas turbine. The gas turbine has a few advantages over the diesel engine. First, it's lightweight. General Electric will sell you a 33,000 horsepower gas turbine that weighs 10,000 pounds; Pielstick will sell you a 7000 horsepower diesel that weighs 70,000 pounds. Second, it's very reliable. And third, it can run on many kinds of fuel. Gas turbines own the natural gas pumping industry because they'll run on natural gas, which is right there--just run a little pipe from the gas main to the fuel control on the engine, and you're in business. The disadvantage of a gas turbine is it won't speed up very quickly. If you have a ship with a gas turbine in it, that's not a big problem--ships accelerate slowly no matter what kind of engine they have, just because they're big and have to push water out of the way. If you're pumping natural gas you don't care about acceleration at all--the engine is always going to run at the same speed. But this slow acceleration is one of the reasons they're not good car engines. (The major reason they're not good in cars is if you don't know how to start a turbine engine you'll destroy it; gasoline engines are much more difficult to harm that way.)
What is bleeding of turbine?
Bleed air in gas turbine engines is compressed air taken from within the engine, after the compressor stage(s) and before the fuel is injected in the burner
What is the use of a turbine in refrigeration?
It is used as a compressor. It has the same advantages over a piston compressor as a gas turbine engine has over a piston engine. i.e. no valves, much lower part count and much greater efficiency.
Is the Chevrolet Volt really an all-electric car it's been around that it has a gas turbine engine as well?
the Chevrolet volt is a series hybrid car.it mainly runs on battery power.the battery is charged by the regenerative braking and the gas turbine engine.when the battery power is low,the gas turbine engine is switched on.the gas turbine engine is connected to a generator which produces electricity to charge the low powered batteries.the gas turbine engine does not power the car direcly,it just produces electricity. The Chevy Volt has a 1.4 liter 84 h.p. internal combustion gasoline engine that requires premium fuel. it is not a gas turbine engine.
What was the first gas turbine car?
The Chrysler turbine car 1962-1964 was the first turbine production car.
What is the differences between gas turbine and turbine engine?
That depends on what you are thinking of. Gas turbine usually refers to all types of jet engines and engines that use the 'jet engine' concept. The turbine engine you are thinking of could be one of a few things, like a jet engine for military aircraft, turboprop, or turbofan for commercial engines.
What are the advantages of free turbine engine over gas turbine engine?
A gas turbine engine will usually yield more power by weight than a piston engine. Main downside is that it can't be throttled very well. Energy efficiency isn't all that good to start with, and will drop right down if it has to be operated outside its optimum range.
What kind of engine is a jet engine?
Gas Turbine.
Why did they change the name of the gas turbine to the jet engine?
They use both terms. A turbine engine that's being used in an aircraft is a "jet engine," and a turbine engine that's being used in a ground-based application is a "gas turbine." Sometimes it's the same engine--the Lycoming engine used in the CH-47 as a "jet engine" is also used in the M-1 tank as a "gas turbine."
What is the difference between a Gas turbine engine ignition system and a piston engine ignition system?
Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.
What is used to turn a generator?
A handle, a pair of pedals, a treadmill, a water mill, a petrol engine, a diesel engine, a wind turbine, a steam turbine, a gas turbine.
What if the gas is going to the engine but want start what could it be?
what if he gas is going to the engine but the car want start?
What is n2 aviation?
2nd stage temperature of a gas turbine engine.

What problems could you have if you add regular gas to a diesel engine?
It could seriously damage the pipes and tubes inside your engine. This will result in your car failing to start and you will have to go to a garage to get the gas emptied out of your car.
