For what purpose is a pneumatic valve used?
Pneumatic valves are used to close valves in high-speed internal combustion engines, pneumatic valves are mostly to help racing engines to get to high speeds.
How were steam engines used in the past?
Steam engines were first used in the tin mines of Cornwall, England to pump water from the mines which often extended out under the Cornish coastline.
What is the element was used for aircraft gas turbine engines?
titanuim and nickel by Brandon Lopez
Thrust bearing used in most radial engines?
Yes it is. They use deep groove bearings in most radial engines. These types best for reducing friction while carrying both thrust and radial loads
Gas and diesel engines are what type of engines?
Internal combustion.

When was the Stirling engine invented?
It was invented in 1816 by Robert Stirling. You can find much more information about stirling engines and carnot cycles on Wikipedia.
Who developed a type of engine that is used in submarines ships and locomotives?
Robert Stirling was the Scottish inventor of the first practical example of a closed cycle air engine in 1816, and it was suggested by Fleeming Jenkin as early as 1884 that all such engines should therefore generically be called Stirling engines.

How much power is in a stirling engine generator?
A Stirling engine generator is less powerful than a combustion engine, but more ecologically sustainable. It operates on heat exchange. There are many types of Stirling engines.

Explain how an acoustic stirling engine works?
Bob told me that the acoustic stirling engines run when you hum to them. No seriously, it's true since Bob told me it was.
What has an external combustion engine?
Some Swedish subs have Stirling engines which is external combustion.
Where can you buy a commercial Stirling engine?

Is it possible to construct a heat engine that produces no thermal pollution?
Atmospheric engines, or 'Stirling' engines, can make use of waste or naturally occuring heat differences, to work.
