THE MOTOR OF THE FUTURE
WILL IT BE A GAS ENGINE OF THE
TURBINE TYPE?

Two Of the most revolutionary movements in
the science of developing mechanical power
that the world has witnessed for several years
past the Introduction of the steam turbine
and the use of gas exploded in a cylinder be
hind piston. A third advance is predicted for
the near future in consequence of combining the
two ideas in gas turbine
One great advantage of the steam turbine is
that it affords rotary motion at the very outset
whereas with the old steam engine it is neces
sary to employ crank to convert movement to
and fro into rotation.
In other respects. too, the mechanism is
simpler than the recprocating engine. 1t occu-
pies much less space for the same output of
power, it is less liable to get out of order the
first cost is lower, and it is beginning to be be
lieved that it is more economical in the of

mos it is particularly well adapted. and other
applications now contemplated The gas
engine has various drawbacks. 1t takes up
more room than a steam engine of the same
capacity: power is eXerted on the piston only
for every two four half strokes. instead
of for every half stroke, and n water jacket
around the cylinder to keep it cool adds to the
complication and bulk of the machine. Yet it
