 | GE90-115B Gas Turbine Jet Engine Testing & Evaluation GE90-115B Gas Turbine Jet Engine Testing and Evaluation I takes a lot of money and time to test as thoroughly as the FAA, military, and GE require. More money and time and lives are saved by finding most problems before they become much larger. Some claim US gas turbine aircraft engines can't take turbulence or odd angles of attack. The claim is clearly false, if you note the shot of the crosswind testing fans. The crosswind fans can simulate hurricane winds at any angle. The fan and the engine can be pivoted to simulate any angle. Typically it is some former soviet block people that make those claims. They think just because they carelessly showboat fighters at air shows doing extreme AOA, that they are the only ones that can do so. The fact is that we don't make a habit of showboating at air shows because it is risky. The former soviet block has crashed a lot of fighters showboating extreme AOAs. The fact is any time you move a gas turbine with reverse airflow your risk of a flameout increases dramatically. The exhaust can recirculate back into the intake the result can be a backfire or flameout or just reduced power; all can be fatal if you are flying with no margin of error at an air show. Normally; US pilots are told to avoid doing things that can cause cavitation or recirculation, particularly wile airborne. They are tested at higher altitude in remote areas to give a good chance of recovery, and restart, and if nothing else ejection. There are some exceptions (sometimes turbofans and turboprops), but it still can be a little risky to the engine. Note this C-17 backfire. I think there was no real damage to the engine in this case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPm2z4V43Bw |

 | Toyota GTV concept car (gas turbine engine)1988 The Toyota GTV was a concept vehicle by Toyota with a gas turbine engine. It was first shown at the 1985 Tokyo Motor Show. A very sophisticated concept vehicle, it was based on the Toyota Carina, and was in fact a proof of concept vehicle slated initially for small-scale production. |
 | Turbine Truck Engines' Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine Engine 5th Generation, Full-Size Prototype April, 2008 http://ttengines.com/ Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. (TTE) is a Nevada (C) corporation that was activated on November 27, 2000. The primary business of TTE is the commercialization of Alpha Engines Corporation's (Alpha) Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine (DCGT) engine for heavy-duty trucks with power ranges from 300 to 1,000 horsepower. Turbine Truck Engines is currently a development stage company and is publicly traded. (TTEG.OB) see: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=tteg.ob Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. (TTE) owns an exclusive License from Alpha Engines Corporation (Alpha) to manufacture and market Heavy Duty Highway Truck Engines using Alpha's patented Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine (DCGT) technology. (U.S. Patent #6,000,214) Alpha is a Delaware (C) corporation, incorporated in 1984 that is based in Florida and operates as research and development company. Privately funded, Alpha continues to advance the innovative research and engineering efforts of scientist Robert L. Scragg, the inventor and developer of Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine (DCGT) a revolutionary new turbine engine technology for heavy-duty trucks. Following the development of its first prototype engine in 1987, Alpha has successfully designed and constructed four additional DCGT prototype engines, (1987, 1989, 1993, 2006) the practicality of which has been proven. Alpha's fifth (5th) prototype, a 540 HP engine, was successfully delivered to Turbine Truck Engines, Inc., DeLand, Florida in March 2006. TTE has an exclusive licensing agreement with Alpha that provides TTE with all global licensing rights to Alpha's technology, including the manufacturing, sales and marketing for DCGT heavy duty truck engines, as well the right to partner, or re-license Alpha DCGT engine technology to third parties. In addition, the license includes a potential joint venture agreement with a leading US trucking and transportation company for the final development and commercialization of the TTE DCGT heavy duty truck engine. The TTE DCGT engine utilizes a unique Electromagnetic Isothermal Combustion (EIC) Process that produces complete combustion of fuel-oxidizer mixtures in cyclic detonations that negate unwanted NOx and CO emissions. The EIC Process enables the TTE DCGT engine to operate with blower air at low static pressure, negating the necessity of compressing and preheating fuel-oxidizer mixtures prior to combustion. By eliminating the compression of fuel-oxidizer mixtures, the TTE DCGT achieves higher thermal efficiencies in a simplified mechanical structure, and provides the following advantages over current diesel, gasoline and gas turbine engines: 1. Air Cooled - Less than 2 Pounds per Horsepower 2. Fewer Moving Parts - Less Maintenance, No Pistons, No Valves 3. Significantly Reduces "Greenhouse" Exhaust Gas Emissions 4. Reduced Fuel Consumption: 30%+ 5. Flex-fuel and Mixed Fuels Capability 6. Operates on All Hydrocarbon Fuels, Hydrogen and Synthetic Fuels 7. No Lube Oil, Filters or Pumps 8. Cold Start Capability TTE DCGT Engine delivers a significant and unique competitive advantage over today's current engine technology. The TTE DCGT Engine will allow the US and the world to reduce its dependency on foreign oil, and at the same time significantly reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions associated with global warming.
