Some CT based generators have 2 gas turbines, axially in-line, with a double ended generator/alternator centered between them. The Pratt & Whitney model calls this a Twin-Pac. In this arrangement one Free Turbine requires a clockwise rotation, and the other Free Turbine requires a counter-clockwise rotation. Both may be coupled directly to the generator or via an over-running clutch for synchronous condenser operations.

What can happen if a wind turbine is free wheeling?

Wind Turbines control system controls Pitch of blades to maintain optimum speed in all wind conditions, if wind is too fast, turbine's brakes will be automatically engaged to slow it down or even stop it in case of storms, if the brakes or control system fails, it will rotate freely and ultimately breakdown under stress from large centrifugal forces.

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.

When drawing a free body diagram for an object on an inclined surface which way does the friction force point?

if in gravity environment it points opposite to the direction it wants to move. That is the force is uphill, parallel to the inclined surface. due to applied force. Under an applied force, again, it points opposite to the direction it wants to move


How does a compass utilize magnetism to indicate direction?

A compass utilizes magnetism to indicate direction by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field. The needle inside the compass is a magnet that is free to rotate, and it points towards the Earth's magnetic north pole. This allows the compass to show the direction of north, south, east, and west based on the orientation of the needle.
