insane_alien Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 actually what if it doesn't need a tank like you say. i mean if it is free flow of air it needs a tank, all you have said is that is to be powered by an air turbine, you can't just have a pipe out the front connected to the input of the turbine and the turbine exhaust sticking out the back, that wouldn't work at all. either 1/ you have a substantial tank of compressed air connected up to the input to provide energy 2/ you spray fuel in after compression and ignite it creating a small jet engine. what we need from you is much more information so we can give you specific answers without going way off on a tangent.

CaptainPanic Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 buddy what i meant was that i use some nozzles 4 compression of the air.this was with the 1st post in the thread posted by captainpanic Did you mean this one: ? I am not sure that this is what you meant but it is certainly related to all of the keywords: wind powered cars than go straight against the wind: Links (mostly in dutch, I couldn't find anything completely in English - but it's with pictures and videos!) http://www.ecn.nl/wind/extra/aeolus/ http://www.energieportal.nl/Nieuws/Windenergie/-ECN-in-de-prijzen-op-Racing-Aeolus-3771.html Because those things have wind-turbines which power the cars... no nozzle. I'm not sure what you mean with using nozzles. And please use proper English language. "For" is a three letter word. This is a science forum, not an sms chat. But in short, you're saying that the initial question is answered since post #4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane_alien Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 DrDNA, gas turbine. actually. it used a mini jet engine supposedly. the actual car used in reality though used a good old otto engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Not sure if this has been mentioned here before, but it's perhaps worth noting that the M-1 Abrams main battle tank is powered by a jet engine. The Wikipedia has some info on it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeywell_AGT1500 (Not that this is directly related, but the US Navy's cruiser and destroyer fleet (basically anything too small to warrant a nuclear power plant) is also powered by jet engines.)
