Ljungstrom Turbine is a Radial Outflow Steam Turbine with two counter rotating discs. Blades are mounted in circles one bigger than the other. Blades of one rotor work as nozzles for the other rotor blades. This turbine design is very forgiving on wet steam. It is said that the turbine design had limitations on scaling up above 30 MW and hence could not compete with Axial Flow Turbines.

Who invented Gas turbine engines?
Charles F. Brush invented the wind turbine in 1888. The wind turbine is an excellent form of alternative energy that many say that Charles F. Bush is a huge contributor in.
How a steam turbine can run?
A turbine extracts some of the energy from a moving fluid or gas and turns it into rotational motion. In a power plant, the rotational motion drives a generator, and the generator produces electricity.If the turbine is in a hydroelectric plant, the moving fluid is river water pulled towards lower elevations by gravity. If the turbine is in a coal-fired plant, the fluid is high-pressure steam escaping from a boiler heated by the coal. Generating electricity by wind also uses turbines (they look a lot different, though!) to change the motion of the air into the rotation needed to drive the generator.
Could you put a gas turbine engine in a car?
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.

Why is it advantageous to use steam as hot as possible in a steam driven turbine?
in practice;the steam MUST be in the superheated region before entering the turbine.superheated steam means there is not moister in the steam (dry steam)the reason is moister will damage the turbine blades.in theory;the hotter the temperature the better the efficiency (look up vapor power cycles)work done by the turbine = the enthalpy (at temp. of steam entering the turbine)- the enthalpy at the turbine exist.the efficiency = work done by the turbine / the heat input.

Are steamboats used today?
There are water craft that look like stern-wheeler steamboats which still navigate the coasts and rivers of the modern world. However, one such "steamboat" is known to operate with large diesel engines, not steam, a case which may be common to other "steamboats." Interestingly, while not strictly stern-wheelers, many large, modern seagoing vessels are powered by steam, so in that sense, they're steam boats. The steam is superheated and under tremendous pressure and drives a high speed turbine. The power output of the turbine passes through a transmission, and then connects to the drive shaft and propeller.
How is heat used to generate electricity?
Turbine Heat is used to make electricity by.... boiling water which in turn makes steam and is generally channeled through a turbine, that will make the turbine spin (Look up "how a generator works") . Basically the turbine spins a magnet near some wires which makes an EMF, thus electricity.Stirling Engine Or, you can use the heat to power a Stirling Engine, which in turn can run an electrical generator .
What did steam trucks look like?
Steam trucks looked like steam trains, with large engines. They had big iron wheels and smoky funnels. They were so big and heavy that they ruined the roads.
