Technical difficulties were never fully overcome, the increasing cost of fuel made gas turbine cars uneconomic to run, and meanwhile by the 1960s the piston engine had improved immeasurably over ...

As previously stated, the Chrysler Turbine Car's engines could run on anything. Unleaded gas, jet fuel, hair spray, and even Chanel No. 5 perfume. If it was a flammable fuel (and wasn't leaded ...

Built by Vince Granatelli, son of Indy 500 guru Andy Granatelli, this curious Corvette came into being by cramming a Pratt & Whitney ST6N-74 gas turbine engine into the donor car's lengthy front end.

We’re introduced to the traditional two-stroke diesel engine as thermally efficient but not smooth-running, and then the gas turbine as smooth but much more inefficient. The free piston engine ...

This technology allows the angle of the compressor's turbine blades to continually adjust. While some diesel engines have enjoyed this technology since the Nineties, the higher exhaust gas ...

Gas turbines work by burning fuel to generate the gas that drives the turbine blades, similar to engines in planes and cars.
