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.

What happens to the engine when the turbine is connected with it?

When the turbine is connected to the engine, it causes the engine to generate power by converting the energy from the turbine into mechanical energy. This allows the engine to operate and perform its intended function.


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.


Why did they change the name of the gas turbine to the jet engine?

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."

What is the differences between gas turbine and turbine engine?

That depends on what you are thinking of. Gas turbine usually refers to all types of jet engines and engines that use the 'jet engine' concept. The turbine engine you are thinking of could be one of a few things, like a jet engine for military aircraft, turboprop, or turbofan for commercial engines.
