Turbine-electric transmission enters a turbine, where it expands down to the exhaust pressure, producing a shaft work output in the process. The exhaust is fed into the power turbine used to power an output shaft for whatever desired application. The power turbine is also connected to the electric generator, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The electric generator driven by the power turbine charges the battery needed in order to drive the motor that supplies compressed air into the combustor. During cruise speed the electric motor does not have to be functioning, only the gas turbine engine is required to continue
Electric potential energy terms of the electric field in the form where formula_13 is the displacement of the electric field within a dielectric material and integration is over the entire volume of the dielectric. The total electrostatic potential energy stored within a charged dielectric may also be expressed in terms of a continuous volume charge, formula_14, where integration is over the entire volume of the dielectric. These latter two expressions are valid only for cases when the smallest increment of charge is zero (formula_16) such as dielectrics in the presence of metallic electrodes or dielectrics containing many charges.
