51Jet engine performance — This article describes how jet engine performance is estimated during the design phase. Similar techniques are used once the engine has been built and is being tested, except the performance of individual components, rather than being assumed, is …
52Ignition system — For other uses, see Ignition system (disambiguation). An ignition system is a system for igniting a fuel air mixture. Ignition systems are well known in the field of internal combustion engines such as those used in petrol (gasoline) engines used …
53Electric generator — U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator In electricity generation, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electric charge (usually carried by electrons) to flow… …
54MidWest AE series — Type Wankel aero engine National origin UK Manufacturer MidWest The MidWest AE series were lightweight liquid cooled twin rotor Wankel engines with dual ignition for light aircraft, formerly produced by MidWest at Staverton Airport,… …
55Electrical generator — In electricity generation, an electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, generally using electromagnetic induction. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor …
56Internal combustion engine — The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high temperature and high …
57René Moineau — (11 août 1887, Lisieux – 5 octobre 1948, Bruxelles) fut l’un des pionniers de l’aviation et inventeur dans différentes branches de l’aéronautique ou de la mécanique des fluides. Pilote et ingénieur chez Breguet, il conçoit dès 1915 son avion, le… …
58Liquid ring — A liquid ring pump is a rotating positive displacement pump. They are typically used as a vacuum pump but can also be used as a gas compressor.The function of a liquid ring pump is similar to a rotary vane pump the difference being that the vanes …
59List of Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmarks — The following is a list of Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmarks as designated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers since it began the program in 1971. The designation is granted to existing artifacts or systems representing a… …
