Gas turbine

A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of internal combustion engine.A Dictionary of Aviation, David W. Wragg. , 1st Edition Published by Osprey, 1973 / Published by Frederick Fell, Inc., NY, 1974 (1st American Edition.), Page 141. The simplest form has three main parts:
 A rotating gas compressor (SP in the diagram) to compress air
 A combustion chamber, called a combustor (KS in the diagram) where fuel is injected
 A turbine (TG in the diagram) on the same shaft as the compressor

The diagram shows a single-shaft gas turbine. One turbine drives both the compressor and the load, such as an electric generator.  There are also two-shaft gas turbines, with separate turbines to drive the compressor and the load. Two-shaft turbines are better for driving road and rail vehicles because they can give more torque at low speed.
