The turbine doesn't make any electricity. It's an engine. Its rotor is connected to the rotor on a generator and the generator produces the electricity.

What's the heat rate?

hey siemens come hook that thing in my back yard...I'll get Nicor to make the gas line a little bigger.......

[gene8942]

you use gas to turn the turbine which makes electricity

[HollywdPatGB]

@justas7463 Yeah, from natural gas, usually.

[justas7463]

So... i dont get it what is it use for make electricity from gas or what?

i tried to get a job at the charlotte, nc site. i have an electrical back ground and expierience in large engine generators(EMD 650 and 710). i took all their stupid tests, you have to have a mechcanical background in blue print reading to get an interview. what a waste of potential great employees.
