  • The thermal energy to mechanical? I thought it was the steam pressure that was converted to mechanical?

  • It's a turBINE! thicko!

  • the generator will need excitation in order to produce magnetic field.

  • Why does he say turbin?

  • whats a steam turbin?

  • @antwan0211 I'm not an expert, but I'll try to answer your question. A steam turbine is a mechanical device that is configured in such as way that it rotates as steam pressure is passed thru it. This rotation is used to drive an electric generator (electric generators need movement to produce electrical current flow).

  • "stationary or diaphram blades"

    Uhh, no, it's called a stator, no matter what kind of steam turbine you have....

  • wouldn't it be more efficient to just use a power turbine?

  • @117nathanmyers Power turbine? What do you mean by that.

  • @rrosasvette a power turbine is an attachment on a gas turbine so you can extract mechanical energy from the gas turbine engine. it has it has one stage consisting of usually one or two sets of rotor blades to extract the energy from the exhaust. it has a shaft that then usually goes through a gear box and into a generator. This can be used to to drive a generator to produce electricity. I assume most of the energy lost in a gas turbine engine is lost in heat so that is why they are not used.

  • @117nathanmyers yeah they should use steam power...that would probably be very efficient.

  • can some one state the reason why the direction of the steam (arrows) is flowing to right when the intermediate section and low pressure sections are to the left?

  • @BigBlue0425 They are trying to minimize horizontal(axial) movement of the shaft by creating a "tugging" effect of the shaft. They have the HP and IP, LP turbines tugging on each other, thereby reducing the load on the thrust bearing by moving torsion effects onto the shaft in between the HP and IP turbines.

  • I think he forgot self-asteem

  • It was very useful for me. Thanks!

  • most excellent

  • I think this is very well explained and animated...Americans please stop feeling more superior than others...

  • @mizi5255 LOL - if that were only possible.  We're an arrogant bunch of pigs.

  • The best explanation I have seen so far.

  • What is your method of the bolts tightening? Thermal extention? By resistors? Whatcha our technology of INDUCTION HEATING of bolts. Simple, safe, convinient, fast ...just great!!!!!!!!!!!

    DUPERRIER INDUSTRIE

  • This was great, learned lots. Thanks ~

  • why u no like Tesla turbine

  • In Washington DC anything above 15 lbs is concidered high pressure they said 85 psia is low pressure

  • technology is amazing

  • @ZenTrickz Nechtology is also amazing.

  • Great presentation

    Thank you

    Brett
