Sentences with phrase «for spinning the turbine»

As the waves recede, the pressure inside the column drops, drawing a stream of air through the same upper opening and providing another impetus for spinning the turbine.

Not exact matches

Most systems use a heat exchanger to boil clean water for steam to spin a turbine.

As more electric vehicles hit the road and more wind turbines start spinning, the demand for batteries and their raw materials will explode.

Hoisting One for Wind Power: Climbing Crane Expected to Keep Vestas Turbines Spinning [Slide Show]

After geothermal power plants pump up a hot brine — water and dissolved salts from underground — and use its heat to make steam to spin a turbine and generate electricity, Simbol would borrow the still warm fluid for roughly 90 minutes.

Windows up, conversation rolling, no matter — those rapidly spinning twin turbines won't be quieted, regardless of how insistently the British carmaker positions this latest Sport Series model as a kinder, gentler grand - touring sled for mild - mannered types.

The very fancy ones use a turbocharger instead, but it is crankshaft - driven with an overrunning clutch (with a whooper of a gear - up)- functioning as a centrifugal blower until the engine develops enough power for the turbine to spin up.

The roadster is powered by a natural - gas turbine that spun a conventional flywheel, acting as a power reserve for an electrical motor that powered the wheels.

Other highlights include an integrated exhaust manifold built into the cylinder head — which delivers a shorter flow path for hot exhaust gases and allows the catalytic converter to heat up faster for reduced cold start emissions — and a turbine speed sensor which allows its turbos to spin at up to 240,000 rpm (220,000 minimum) for higher torque and horsepower output.

Weather effects, for the most part, didn't take much of a toll on the framerate; however, the fire was always a huge hit to framerate and forced the fans on my PS4 Pro to spin up louder than a turbine for any extended period of time.

Unfortunately for ratepayers, it was a beyond the norm windy day — industrial wind turbines spread throughout the province were spinning well beyond their yearly average of 29/30 % of capacity.

We should have a lot more reactors spinning turbines, and use natural gas for more productive uses.

Because the wind turbines would require a modest amount of spacing between them to allow room for the blades to spin, wind farms would occupy about 0.5 percent of all U.S. land, but this amount is more than 30 times less than that required for growing corn or grasses for ethanol.

Arrays of sensors paired with better algorithms for operating and monitoring the turbine let it keep spinning when earlier generations of wind turbines would have had to shut down.

I would suggest we give a good long studied look into the energy production values of how a magnetic spinning disc could generate energy uinto a generator similar to the ones that wind turbines are generating but with higher friction values for higher electric output from the powerful spin that can be caused by rare earth magnets in specific allignments

The V2 turbines are made from steel and aircraft - grade aluminum, are said to be quiet (less than 5 decibels over ambient noise levels), vibration - free, safe for birds and bats, and need no grid power to start spinning.
