Start Me Up: These Huge Turbines Are Ready To Boost Brazil’s Smallest State
In the popular imagination, Brazil is an eternal carnival of sun, samba and soccer on the sand in Rio de Janeiro. Yet many Brazilians claim that the real Brazil is actually the country’s sprawling northeast region, which is a long way from the golden beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. The Northeast is the home of capoeira, the hypnotic Afro-Brazilian martial art; the sertão, the country’s semi-mythical scrubby outback; and forró, the folk music that farmers sang in hope of bumper harvests of corn, sugarcane and coffee.

In The Money: How GE’s Latest Gas Turbine Could Help Save Florida Customers $300 Million
When engineer Sanford Moss built GE’s first gas turbine more than a century ago, things didn’t go exactly as the company planned. The machine used too much fuel and produced too little power. Moss put the design on the shelf until the outbreak of World War I, when the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, NASA’s predecessor, realized it could use the device to supercharge aircraft engines and gain superiority in the air.

London Calling: This British Power Plant Will Be Reborn As A Lean, Mean Electricity-Generating Machine
The growth of renewable power means that the owners of the world’s gas turbines have to accept some Darwinian logic: Adapt or die. The challenge is particularly acute in the U.K., where electricity production from wind, solar and hydropower installations is booming. The total installed capacity of the country’s renewables sector now exceeds that of fossil-fuel-fired generation, or power plants that burn coal, gas and oil.

The Hydrogen Generation: These Gas Turbines Can Run On The Most Abundant Element In the Universe
If you studied chemistry in school, the memory of hydrogen will be a blast from the past — literally. You can’t see or smell hydrogen, but you know it’s there when you hear a squeaky pop when holding a lit match above the test tube. Hydrogen’s easy flammability and unparalleled lightness make it easy to understand why NASA uses it as rocket fuel. (It also happens to be the most abundant element in the universe.)
