Abstract:
A water jet propelled water craft has a jet pump impeller (24) mounted in a jet tube (18) and driven by a water cooled engine (16). A heat exchanger (30') for the engine coolant is incorporated into a housing for the jet pump impeller (24) and takes the form of a chamber surrounding a through bore of the jet tube (18). The chamber has an inlet and an outlet for the flow of coolant and contains a series of staggered baffles that define an oscillatory and circumferential flow path for the coolant between the inlet and outlet.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vehicle in the form of a volumetric body that comprises freight and passenger compartments, a plurality of electromotive plants and devices for accelerating the crew to a desired speed. This vehicle is intended for use on high-speed highways, while the aeronautic variant is in the shape of an airplane or an airship for direct application. The main vehicle consists of an air-flow energy converter that comprises several envelopes separated by several channels. The energy converter may include several turbines and generators for supplying energy to the propulsion device of the vehicle. The operation ability of the energy converter is based on the use of rarefaction at its bottom section and of the energy of the circulating flow that enters the inlet channels thereof. This process also uses a strong increase in the flow rate onto the turbine which is due to the corresponding decrease in its enthalpy, i.e. the thermal component of its global energy. As for support members, propulsion devices, guides and other equipment, the invention involves using the technical solutions applied in high-speed railways, airships, airplanes, etc.

Abstract:
The off-shore gas turbine system comprises a floating structure with at least one deck (25) and a baseplate (31) mounted on the deck. The baseplate supports a gas turbine (1) having: a low pressure compressor, a high pressure compressor, a combustor, a high pressure turbine, an intermediate pressure turbine and a low pressure turbine. The low pressure compressor is driven into rotation by the intermediate pressure turbine and the high pressure compressor is driven by the high pressure turbine. The low pressure turbine has a load coupling. The system further comprises a driven equipment (57, 59) mechanically connected to the load coupling (21) of the low pressure turbine and driven into rotation by the low pressure turbine. An intercooler (19) is provided between the low pressure compressor and the high pressure compressor and connected to them through displacement-tolerant connections. The baseplate (31) is supported on the deck (25) separately from the intercooler (19).
