As a power source for robots and UAV drones, the 100 W-class micro gas turbine is more attractive than Li-ion batteries and fuel cells owing to its higher energy density (J/kg) and
Owing to their precedent characteristics, micro gas turbines (MGTs) have been favored as popular power machinery in plenty of energy systems such as
Many small gas turbines that produce an output of less than 5MW are designed similarly to the larger turbines already discussed; however, there are many designs that incorporate
The micro turbine works in basically the same way as a typical jet engine where a compressor draws in air and passes it into a combustion chamber where fuel is injected and ignited as it passes through a turbine, creating
Its advantage is its compact design, low weight with a thrust of up to 1,500 N, and low fuel consumption in the given power category. The generator output is 750 W. One of the PBS TJ150 engine versions enables landing on water. The PBS TJ150 engine is a single-shaft jet engine consisting of a radial compressor, radial and axial diffuser, annular
For the first time, there is an authoritative study of small gas turbine engines, arguably one of the most significant spheres of aeronautical technology in the second half of the twentieth century. It is noteworthy that this important reference work found its genesis at NASM. At the museum, there is not only an extraordinary aero propulsion

The Teledyne CAE J402 is a small turbojet engine. Several variants have been developed to power unmanned air vehicles such as missiles and target drones. Developed in the 1970s for the Harpoon anti-ship missile, the J402 was the first jet engine to be designed as a "wooden round", meaning that the engine had to be able to sit for long
A gas turbine, gas turbine engine, or also known by its old name internal combustion turbine, is a type of continuous flow internal combustion engine. while small gas turbine engines are rarities; however, turbines are mass-produced in the closely related form of the turbocharger.
09 Aug 2007. Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a working prototype of what they are calling the world''s smallest gas turbine engine, a palm-sized motor they hope will one day be used to power autonomous robots and serve as a portable engine for personal transportation devices. The research team led by professor Shuji Tanaka from
Micro (gas) turbines are small, high-speed, gas combustion turbines with a power rating of 25–500 kW ( Chambers and Potter, 2002 ). Micro turbines are considered easy to handle and are relatively low noise and vibration free. They can use various fuels, including natural gas, biogas, associated gas, biodiesel and kerosene.
The Williams F107 (company designation WR19) is a small turbofan engine made by Williams International. The F107 was designed to propel cruise missiles. Turbine: 1-stage HP turbine, 2-stage LP turbine; Fuel type: JP-4 / JP-5; Oil system: Pressure system with return; Performance.
Small and mid-sized turbines are now receiving more attention as the power generation and oil & gas markets diversify. This trend is being driven by
Rolls-Royce Corporation. Developed from. Rolls-Royce RR300. The Rolls-Royce RR500 is a family of small gas turbine engines developed by Rolls-Royce Corporation. The RR500TP turboprop variant was intended for use in small aircraft. The RR500TS was the turboshaft variant designed for light helicopters. Development of the
Microturbines are small combustion turbines approximately the size of a refrigerator with outputs of 30kW to 1000kW for a single unit. They evolved from automotive and truck turbochargers, auxiliary power units (APUs) for airplanes, and small jet engines. Most microturbines are comprised of a compressor, combustor, turbine, alternator
