In other words, passive resistance

ARE MARINE TURBINES Ecoy0nIc4Ly

No revelation In marine engineering Is to-day
more eagerly desired than one indicating how
much coal the Lusltania consumes when driven
at the limit Of her speed. To enable her to
travel per cent faster than the Deutschland
she has been equipped with engines developing
80 per cent more horsepower. SO much is
known. The world has yet to learn whether the
new Cunard steamship can generate horse
power with little fuel rs the swiftest vessel
Of the Hamburg Line.
One of the radical differences between the tur-
bine and the reciprocating engine is that the
shafts Of the former rotate much more rapidly
than those of the latter For certain classes Of
serviCe-running dynamOs, for instance-high
speed is desirable, but il is unsuited to the work
of propelling ship. Accordingly Mr.. Parsons
has devoted much effort 10 such modification of
his famous invention as would better adapt it to
use Mt sea. Yet there experts who doubt
whether the change has been carried far enough
1t is recognized principle in engineering that
there is a definite speed at which the largest
steam economy can be secured. Not long ago the
North German Lloyd Company undertook to find
ont just what rotative speed would give the high
est efficiency with vessels like the biggest In it's
own service. One of it's representatives recently
declared in letter to the London "'Times" that
eighty revolutions minute appeared to be the
most satisfactory rate, whereas the Lusltanas
shafts make $50 revolutions Il minute 1t will
not do to draw hasty conclusions from the dis
parity here shown. The diameter of the pro-
pellers, the pitch of their blades and other fac
tors in the problem need consideration in COM
putting efficiency. Still. the difference is made
the subject Of much unfavorable comment and
1t emphasizes tpe need of explicit information
concerning the Lusitania's fuel requirements.
On the suppositon that $50 revolutions n
minute is a wasteful speed. and that an ade-
quate reduction cannot reasonably he antici-
pated, a correspondent of "The Manchester
Guardian" makes a novel suggestion. He favOrs
the retention Of the turbine, but proposes that
electrical machinery be interposed between the
engine and thu screws He would hitch the tur-
bne to a dynamo, not TO the propeller shafts,
and would drive the shafts with motors. The
motors could rotate more slowly than the NOV
ing parts of the dynamo which supplied them
with current.
No special skill is required to detect some of
the objections to this scheme. Every transfor-
nation OF energy Is attended with loss. The use
of electrical machinery would increase the cost
of the installation and make additional de-
mand for space. The author of the project Is
disposed TO believe that the steam economy
which it would insure would more than offset
the disadvantages. Since he has not seen dt to
