Chimery jack proposed

around year 1500
 With the aid of a simple gearing
system, the smoke jack was used to
turn a roasting spit.

Sir Isaac newton Newton’s 3rd law of motion

has been explain in year 1687
John barber of England
1791 – was an English coal viewer and inventor

First patent covering a gas turbine was

John barber of england

• Barber'sconcept was sound, but given the
technology of that day, it was not possible for the
device to create sufficient power to both compress
the air and the gas and produce useful work.
Nevertheless, the credit for the idea that leads to
the modern gas turbine can clearly be given to
John Barber.
WW1 era facing limited speed and altitudes
• DR.SANFORD MOSS -1918 idea to invent turbo charger as jet engine.

• was an American aviation engineer, who was the first to use

a turbocharger on an aircraft engine.
Brayton's cycle=
exhaust are used
in the intake to
produce
continuous power
Method’s are used
Brayton’s cycle
They made a major contribution to
our aviation industry. Leading us to
gasturbine engines.
Activity 2
Do you think that the contributions of our inventors and scientist made a
major leap in aviation industry ? Explain.

The Airacommet
After the war, GTE’s were also used
commercially
• More passenger

• Lesser time travel

• Longer distances

• Lesser maintenance intervals

• Fuel efficient

• Vibration less

• More comfort

• Noise reduction
