what's the consensus?

They are both turbine enines to be used on the 787. If you want more than that, you need to seriously write more than 3 words.
 
I'll go one step further...three vs. two spool. NEXT!
 
ok. In the view of PhysicsForums, which is mechanically the better engine, is Rolls Royce or GE better placed to support the 787 (if it ever gets delivered, which is another question entirely) and in the long-game, will two or three spool win the rotatives war?

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
