	World Bank - Thermal Power Conversion Technologies
		In a gas turbine, large volumes of air are compressed to high pressure in a multistage compressor for distribution to one or more combustion gases from the combustion chambers power an axial turbine that drives the compressor and the generator before exhausting to atmosphere.
		Diesel is a reciprocating engine which uses diesel fuel (distillate) for high-speed or heavy oil (residual for mid- and low-speed engines.
		Diesel generators play an important role as local reserve, particularly where the transmission tie is radial or of marginal reliability for other reasons.

	Diesel Gas Chamber Myth
		In other words, the Diesel gas chambers are as important, at least in terms of the numbers of alleged victims, as the gas chambers that supposedly used Zyklon B and hydrogen cyanide.
		Although Diesel exhaust is not totally harmless it is, in fact, one of the least harmful pollutants anywhere except for some possible long term, carcinogenic effects which are totally irrelevant for the operation of a gas chamber to commit mass-murder.
		The gas van story is merely an adaptation by the holocaust propagandists of some documentary materials related to the perfectly innocent use of producer gas vehicles, supported of course by appropriate "eyewitness" testimony generated after the war.

		The diesel engine and the gas turbine of a propelling line are coupled with the reducer with the strong paces.
		The electric motors are supplied by electricity generators which may consist entirely of gas turbines alternators, or be or a combination of diesel alternators and gas turbines alternators.
		The gas turbine generator units could be mounted in the superstructure, this would require a large island and reduce the flight deck area, but by avoiding volumous air intake/venting trunking to low machinery spaces will enable a larger and wider hanger.

		Together, with its cooperation partner, Detroit Diesel Corporation, the MTU group is one of the largest diesel engine suppliers in the world.
		Formerly, the older frigates used a system called CODOG which was short for Combined Diesel Or Gas turbine, which meant that the frigate had a choice of which engine to run at specific times.
		Now, for the new frigates, MTU supplied a system with a huge modification and dubbed it CODAG, which means Combined Diesel And Gas turbine, which allowed for both types of engines to be engaged at the same time.

		The 60-foot mass-transit vehicles, which are more expensive than standard diesel buses, deliver up to 60 percent greater fuel economy and can reduce emissions by as much as 90 percent, GM said.
		Hybrids draw power from two energy sources, typically a gas or diesel engine combined with an electric motor.
		One of the ways the buses conserve fuel is by storing electricity generated when they brake, then using that electricity as a power source when the bus leaves from a stop.
