Gas turbine Land Rover and leading electrical machine company SR Drives, is to produce the world’s first commercially viable - and environmentally friendly - gas turbine generator designed specifically for automotive applications. The common turbocharger for gasoline or diesel engines is also a turbine derivative. The first serious investigation of using a gas turbine in cars was in 1946 when two engineers, Robert Kafka and Robert Engerstein of Carney Associates, a New York engineering firm, came up with the concept where a unique compact turbine engine design would provide power for a rear wheel drive car.

Combined gas or gas turbine running at 50% power. The system is currently used in the 3 ships of the Russian Navy's s, in the Royal Navy Type 42 destroyers, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's Hatsuyuki-class destroyers, the Royal Canadian Navy s, and the Dutch Navy s (on which the Greek Navy s are based). Combined gas or gas Combined gas or gas (COGOG) is a propulsion system for ships using gas turbine engines. A high efficiency, low output turbine is used for cruising speeds with a high output turbine being used for high-speed operations. A clutch allows either turbine to be selected, but
