Review
… provides all the fundamental mechanical details any need to understand the operation an application of all kinds of gas turbines. Hardware, typical applications, parameters, controls, troubleshooting – It’s all covered in an edition which sports a new chapter on microturbines and new case studies. The author has over thirty years of experience in installing, operating and maintaining equipment and controls for both on- and off-shore environments, is a registered engineer in different states, and has written many articles for technical journals. You just can’t get more authoritative – or any clearer – than this. —In The California Bookwatch, June 2006

The second edition of a bestseller, this comprehensive reference provides the fundamental information required to understand both the operation and proper application of all types of gas turbines. The completely updated second edition adds a new section on use of inlet cooling for power augmentation and NOx control. It explores the full spectrum of gas turbines hardware, typical application scenarios, and operating parameters, controls, inlet treatments, inspection, trouble-shooting, and more. The author discusses strategies that can help readers avoid problems before they occur and provides tips that enable diagnosis of problems in their early stages and analysis of failures to prevent their recurrence.

Automobiles: Chrysler Turbine [VHS]

The Chrysler Turbine has long been regarded as a bold but misguided chapter in automotive history. Today, the lessons learned on this project are playing a major role in the quest to create an environmentally “”clean”" car for the 21st century.Ironically, it was emissions problems that ultimately did in Chrylser’s original turbine car. While test drivers felt the car had potential, engineers could not make the engine run cleanly enough. Trace the two-decade struggle to do away with the piston engine from the first proposal to the 50 sleek, Ghia-bodied test cars. See rare footage of their development and testing, and hear incredible stories from the engineers who worked on the project. In one case, the turbine’s ability to run on any combustible liquid was tested by filling the tank of one car with Tequila and another with perfume. Both drivers got in and drove away! It’s a remarkable look at a revolutionary vehicle that may yet write a new chapter in automotive history.”

12V Charge Controller Using - Pedal Power / Solar Power / Wind Turbine Power

Want to charge 12 Volt DC batteries or a 12 Volt battery pack with a pedal power bicycle generator? With this charge controller, youll be able to harness human power energy or energy from wind and solar and put it to good use.

HOW IT WORKS:
Lead acid batteries require special love and care to last more than a year. The AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries typically do not want to see more than 14.8 Volts DC while charging. When you charge your batteries by pedal power, wind, solar, the voltage at your battery will go higher than 14.8 Volts DC. So this NC25A charge controller will detect that the voltage has exceeded the desired charge level (in this case 14.8V DC) and break the connection between your alternative energy power source and the lead acid battery power pack being charged. This will keep your battery from being over charged and damaged.

Once the charge controller starts protecting your battery from too high of a charge voltage, it gives you the option to divert your pedal-power / wind / solar energy to something called a “diversion load”. You don’t have to hook up a diversion load if you don’t want to, however if you are using this charge controller for a bike generator work out exercise routine, then keep in mind that when the charge controller goes into diversion mode with no diversion load hooked up, you will feel no resistance on your bike and it will become very easy to pedal. If you wanted to store your diverted energy, you could put a second NC25A charge controller on your diversion load output and that would allow you to charge a 2nd lead acid battery or powerpack.
