Yes, they can break or just wear out.
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.
It had a turbine engine, not a motor with pistons.
ALOT of money lol
The Chrysler turbine car 1962-1964 was the first turbine production car.
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.
Chrysler corporation invented it and had a experimental car named the charger in 1964 that had a turbine engine in it.
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.
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."
Due to the nature of turbines,there are several parts that can break. You are most likely to have a belt break. The Pelton wheel in the turbine is most likely to break. This is because the part is used to protect the turbine during winter freeze-up and spring break-up,
A steam turbine/generator in a power station, a small gasoline powered generator, or a 12v alternator in your car driven by the engine.
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.
a structure with an engine in it
