Difference between Engine and Gas turbine

Engine vs. Gas turbine

An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy. A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of continuous combustion, internal combustion engine.

Similarities between Engine and Gas turbine

Engine and Gas turbine have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aeolipile, Car, Diesel engine, Electric generator, Energy, Giovanni Branca, Hero of Alexandria, Internal combustion engine, Locomotive, Newton (unit), Pneumatic motor, Power-to-weight ratio, Redox, Ship, Steam turbine, Thrust, Turbofan, Turboprop, Turboshaft, Watt.

Aeolipile

An aeolipile (or aeolipyle, or eolipile), also known as a Hero's engine, is a simple bladeless radial steam turbine which spins when the central water container is heated.

Car

A car (or automobile) is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation.

Diesel engine

The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition or CI engine), named after Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel which is injected into the combustion chamber is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression (adiabatic compression).

Giovanni Branca

Giovanni Branca (22 April 1571 – 24 January 1645) was an Italian engineer and architect, chiefly remembered today for what some commentators have taken to be an early steam turbine.
