gas turbine engine – an internal combustion engine in which combustion drives a turbine with blades similar to those of a stream turbine;
turboprop engine – a gas turbine engine in which the turbine drives a shaft that turns a propeller;
turbojet engine – an engine in which gases pass through a turbine and are expelled from the rear of the engine; this thrust pushes the machine forward. Also known as a jet;
blower – a device for intake and compression of air in gas turbine and some kinds of jet engines;
fanjet engine – a common type of jet engine in commercial aircraft; the blower is a complex version of an electric fan;
pulsejet engine – a jet with an air intake using lateral valves that pulse or vibrate;
ramjet engine – a jet in which air is forced in under extremely high pressure;
petrochemical products – products made from petroleum by chemical processes, including some kinds of plastics;
nuclear fission – the splitting or fission of the nucleus, the central part of an atom; the result of the fission is energy;
nuclear fusion – the joining or fusion of the nuclei of different atoms; the result of the process is release of a great deal of energy;
rotary engine – an internal combustion engine producing rotary instead of reciprocating motion; the best known type is called the Wankel engine after its inventor;
rotor – a machine component, which revolves, thereby producing rotary motion.
