It's not good stuff, and it's from inefficient combustion, not from combustion itself.

Oxygen is needed for combustion.

It can move a turbine.

It goes to the turbine, spins the turbine, which spins the generator makes electricity.

The internal combustion engine is not sustainable.

The high pressure turbine is little bitty.

Two is up. ECS turbine is online.

Spontaneous human combustion is rare and scientifically unexplainable.

Any common denominators in cases of spontaneous combustion?

So this is our internal combustion engine for creativity.

Here's a wind turbine manufacturer that went to a whale.

What about the internal combustion engine, which was invented in 1879?

General Electric natural gas turbine, you'll get about 60 percent efficiency.

Then instead of a burner here that would be injecting fuel, like a combustion system, you would have this heat exchanger with a reactor. It would make the air hot, then the air would exhaust through the turbine and make thrust.

Pollutants like this derive mainly from the combustion of fuel in car engines.

You could have a bunch of falling Sals move a turbine as well.

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous substance formed by the incomplete combustion of carbon compounds.

The internal combustion engine took off because weight mattered, because you were moving around.

As a matter of fact, I invented the combustion engine and the twoway nappy.

Now in front of this guy is this little thing called the high pressure turbine. You see the big three low pressure turbines but you don't see the high pressure turbine.

From playing with it, they learn some basic principles about fire, about intake, combustion, exhaust.

This is this low pressure turbine. And this is turning the shaft that's running this.

When the turbine drops in, it will produce 8,000 watts of electricity, day and night.

Atmospheric explosions, or full combustion, takes about 15,000 times longer than what happens in your car.

The high pressure turbine is making about two thirds of the torque that's turning the shaft.

Nuclear right now means water cooled reactor, uranium oxide solid fuel, poor fuel efficiency and steam turbine.

If you put that same fuel in an internal combustion engine car, you get about 20 percent efficiency.

There have been hundreds of millions of internal combustion engines built, compared to thousands of Stirling engines built.

But then you let it blow down as it goes across the high pressure turbine and becomes low pressure steam.

This is the same way we've been producing electricity, the steam turbine idea, for 100 years, and nuclear was a really big advancement in a way to heat the water, but you still boil water and that turns to steam and turns the turbine.

But after the Stirling engine, Otto came along, and also, he didn't invent the internal combustion engine, he just refined it.

When the steam goes into the high pressure turbine, it's dense. It's got a lot of energy and a little volume.

It uses gas, so supercritical CO2 or helium, and that goes into a turbine, and this is called the Brayton cycle.

It has no steam generators inside, it has no turbine, but, because of the magnetic positioning and gravitational positioning, it always rotates.

So it's the same idea as a jet engine, it's just the heat source was the reactor rather than the combustion of fuel.

Anybody who's trying to sell you biofuels, or this kind of thing, what do you do about the thermodynamic inefficiency of combustion engines?

So for example, in a power plant, when your big steam turbine gets too over speed, you must open relief valves within a millisecond.

So you can generate electricity from the gas turbine, and you've got to cool the gas, and every thermodynamic cycle has to reject waste heat.

During the day, the Nutmeg collects energy from solar panels on the roof of the wheelhouse, and from a 450 watt turbine up the mast.

and we're making great progress for this goal is to have a propulsion system based on hydrogen and fuel cells, designed and validated, that can go head to head with the internal combustion engine we're talking about obsoleting the internal combustion engine and do it in terms of its affordability, add skill volumes, its performance and its durability.

The fuel cell looked great one tenth as many moving parts and a fuel cell propulsion system as an internal combustion engine and it emits just water.

Now, if any of you have been to a coal plant and seen the same steam turbine, because they use the same technology at a coal plant.

With this reactor, we can get up to more like 700 or 800C, and at those temperatures, the gas turbine turns out to be a better fit.

It's a turbine that we just take from a gas plant and suspend it from a big scaffolding, a tower, and surround it by giant mirrors in the desert.

And when you allow the proper chemical reactions or the proper combustion to take place, what it does is it expels gases, ultra high velocities out the back of your rockets.
