Would be good if that was a pic of a turbo

[Mr. Oizo]

I feel like we've gone back to 1999

Yeah its a hydro something... I used to know... back when jesus was in the yearbook this pic was new and I could of told you.

From memory its a hydro something... used for water pumping or some crap, its not a turbo

[inissane]

someone say industrial centrifugal pumps

Imagine the spool noise!

[INASNT]

Yes its just a water pump, quite small to whats around in pumping stations these days.

Here a mini hydro I have worked on which looks like a turbo.

These are still babies.

I wonder what K&N would charge for a pod filter for one of those bad boys, if they actually were turbo's.

An engine that size wouldnt exactly be spinning at enogh revs to spool a turbo, id think...

Well this T88-34D is pretty big, and its on the floor of my room... not hanging off a power station... pumping water...

haha and for $2500 it could be on the floor of YOUR room!!

[INASNT]

The ones in the pics I posted only spin at 600rpm max speed but make 3000 kw of power

[qikstagea]

hmm i suppose thered be a shite-load of momentum in a turbo that size at 600rpm. Would need a half-hour turbo timer. but i guess it wouldnt get that hot.

Is it actually a turbo? as in, driven by exhaust fumes? or is it just a motor-driven pump... Looks like just teh compressor, no impellor

[INASNT]

Doesent get hot at all as its a water turbine (Hydro). Water enters the valve on the left and spins the impellor inside which is connected to a generator via a shaft. Generator creates the 3000 kw. It uses variable vane technology like the new porsche turbso to regulate the flow of water and different head pressures to maintain the 600rpm rotation speed.

When the valve is turned off and the water stopped it takes the impellor around 20 minutes before it stops spinning if the hydraulic brakes aint used.

[qikstagea]

so... hydro-electricity, then.... a turbine, that spins a big magnet with a shit load of copper cable around it...

20 min... i was close. i gues. give or take 10 min.

Still after the biggest TURBO, then!!

[INASNT]

Basically, the magnet and copper are in the generator.

Biggest turbo will be a turbo diesel powered cruise ship.

[Birnie]

All those earlier ones that pump water or whatever...i reckon they still qualify.

Just cause the pump water instead of air doesn't mean the aint turbines.

Turbos are just small turbines anyway.

that being said....i wanna find a pic of the one on a diesel powered cruise ship!
