  Ram air turbine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ram air turbine (RAT) is a small propeller and connected generator used as an emergency power source for aircraft.
Modern aircraft generate power through the main engines or additional fuel-burning turbines, auxiliary power units, often a small tail-mounted turbine engine.

 Wind turbine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The air flow at the blades is not the same as the airflow far away from the turbine.
For large, commercial size horizontal-axis wind turbines, the generator is mounted in a nacelle at the top of a tower, behind the hub of the turbine rotor.
The turbine closest to the north pole is a Nordex N-80 in Havoygalven near Hammerfest, Norway.

 The Turbine Engine
The compressed air is heated as it passes through the high-pressure side of the regenerators, and then it enters a combustion chamber (burner) in to which fuel is injected and ignited.
Since the power turbine is rotated by hot gases and is not mechanically connected to the gas generator rotor, the power turbine stops whenever the car stops, and the gas generator continues idling.
The gas turbine engine is rated at 130 horsepower at 3600 rpm output shaft speed and 425 lb-ft torque at zero output shaft speed under ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions of 85 F and 29.92" Hg, respectively.

 Turbine-driven air-powered flare - Patent 4036580
An air powered flare in which the blower or fan which provides the primary combustion air, is driven by a steam turbine, and the exhaust steam from the turbine is inserted into the stack to be mixed with the compressed primary air moving upwardly to a burner at the top of the flare stack.
The exhaust steam from the turbine is then utilized to improve the combustion as needed in the flare, by being injected into the stack upstream of the burner to be mixed with the primary combustion air, or it is injected through nozzles into the flame, downstream of the burner.
When a steam turbine drive is substituted for the electrical motor drive, combined with the delivery of the exhaust steam from the turbine to the air en route to the burning zone, the greatest smoke suppressive capability results.

 History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The compressed air turbine circuit begins with the intake of ambient air by the compressor, which is powered by a direct connection to the turbine.
The air is compressed to several atmospheres and exits through a recuperator which transfers heat from the turbine exhaust to the compressed air and improves the efficiency of the system.
The turbine exhaust then passes through the recuperator and is either discharged to the atmosphere or utilized for cogeneration.

 Air Turbines for Spin Testing
Air turbines are compact drive systems which permit easy mounting and removal from the Spin Testing Chamber, requiring only a few connections or dis-connections.
Air turbines, because they are mechanically driven devices, provide no electrical interference and do not degrade the signal output from instruments mounted to the test disc.
Air turbines are the best drive choice for LCF testing because their high operating speed and inherent torque characteristics give short cycle times and are relatively simple mechanically.

 Aerospaceweb.org | Ask Us - Ram Air Turbines
The device you speak of is known as a ram air turbine, or RAT.
But while an APU is essentially a small jet engine that burns regular jet fuel to generate this additional power, the RAT consists of a propeller that is spun by the high-speed air flowing past the aircraft.
Although the Airbus A330 is equipped with a ram air turbine, as evidenced by the recent emergency landing you speak of, most commercial aircraft tend to use more traditional APUs instead.

 Engine & turbine engineering - Air / Fuel ratio control
On automotive SI engines, the air / fuel ratio is typically controlled to the stoichiometric value for reduced exhaust emissions using a three way catalyst (due to heavy goverment legislation by EPA, CARB in the U.S.), fuel economy, and performance.
Air / fuel ratio control is acomplished by monitoring lambda with an exhaust gas oxygen (EGO) sensor and controlling fuel flow with closed-loop control on the EGO sensor.
Some primary air is mixed with the fuel and secondly air is supplied to supporting the fuel combustion along the flame flow.

 Oscillating Water Columns, Wells Turbine and Uses as Power Generation Sources
When the wave approaches, it causes air to be forced into the air chamber and out of the port, near the back wall.
One of the biggest problems involving wave power generation was the simple fact that salt water is a highly corrosive substance, especially when in contact with mechanical parts for long durations of time.
As the reservoir fills the water rushes towards the outlet of the reservoir,through a turbine housing [5].

 Maisotsenko Combustion Turbine Cycle
The MCTC is similar to the Humid Air Turbine (HAT) cycle, but it uses far less equipment with much higher heat transfer rates and less pressure drop.
There is no need for after-compressor heat exchangers to cool the compressed air to near its dew point temperature before the air enters the saturator with the cooled water from the saturator.
Humidification of the compressed air and/or super heating of that air with the exhaust gas is easily controlled by the amount and location of water entering the shell side of the top exchanger.
