The gas turbine was invented by John Barber in 1791. They're mainly used in vehicles today.
The sail was invented long ago and provided a way to harness the wind to power ships. Gas turbine engines came along in modern times and is used today to power ships.

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.
Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.
A gas turbine is one type of power plant. It produces power by burning gas to turn the turbine.
Basically, a gas turbine is powered by gas under pressure, The gas is pressurized by burning some type of fuel such as kerosene, jet fuel, or propane. That heat causes air expansion, and the subsequent inflow of air makes the turbine spin. A gas turbine consists of three main parts; a combustion chamber, a turbine and a compressor. Air and fuel are mixed in the combustion chamber where it is ignited and increases in speed and power. This power is directed over the turbine blades which spin the turbine and power the compressor. It's a pretty simple process: heated fuel causes pressure and air expansion. The expanded air causes a turbine to spin. That is how gas turbines like jet engines work.
Gas Turbine Research Establishment was created in 1959.
The function of IGV in a gas turbine is to prevent surges and stall conditions.
The first gas turbine in the Gulf started working in the 1970s
Gas turbine power generators are used in two basic configurations. Simple Systems consisting of the gas turbine driving an electrical power generator. You fill them with gas carefully & turn them in.
