Well I'm in over my head, but in my thoughts if you can extract power for the compressor, then why not a bit larger and stronger power turbine that will cover the generators output converted to pure heat. In normal use motors and generators are governed by mechanical limits, but in this...

Had a hard time deciding which post to reply to, you mention energy density of fuel and batteries, consider the efficiency of generated electricity straight to heat, almost 100% where you need it. I can't attempt to lay out a complete design, but considering the sum total of air comes in the...

This might be another example, to consider.

After reading through this article, I'm left wondering if there might be tremendous sized voids inside Earth's mantle, that if displaced in some way could allow major shifts in rock formations. Does anyone have ideas about this...

Here is some good information for anyone interested in fuel/electric design, as for my thinking electric/electric assisted by wind friction of a plane in flight, is the possible holy grail. :smile: I believe the videos below are well worth someone's time to watch, should be a help in setting up...

Here is a guide to air motors that might offer you the information you need. https://www.atlascopco.com/content/dam/atlas-copco/industrial-technique/general/documents/pocketguides/9067%2001%20Pocket%20Guide%20to%20Air%20motors.pdf

This puts life into an old idea of an electric jet engine :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_Nuclear_PropulsionIndirect Air Cycle Indirect cycling involves thermal exchange outside of the core with compressor air being sent to a heat exchanger. The nuclear reactor core would heat up...

A few charts here might help, I'm not sure that the motor type would make a lot of difference when evaluating flow and expansion. https://www.atlascopco.com/content/dam/atlas-copco/industrial-technique/general/documents/pocketguides/9067%2001%20Pocket%20Guide%20to%20Air%20motors.pdf

I ran across this a few weeks ago, I believe it might be fitting for your studies. :)

Great video, but why am I all of a sudden missing George Carlin so much ? :smile:

This has been my favorite link for jet engine information, hope some others might find it useful :smile: http://airspot.ru/book/file/485/166837_EB161_rolls_royce_the_jet_engine_fifth_edition_gazoturbinnyy_dviga.pdf

It might help to consider the first test of heat transfer from a paddle wheel to water, on turbine blades being driven by vast amounts of water the change being almost undetectable should be quite large. Just a thought.
