Video: The Last Of The Hush-Hush Boys Recalls How GE Built The First American Jet Engine

Tomas Kellner
April 06, 2016
The year was 1941. World War II was raging in Europe and Nazi bombers over London were as common as rain. It was also when a group of GE engineers in Lynn, Massachusetts, received a secret present from His Majesty King George VI. Inside several crates were parts of the first jet engine successfully built and flown by the Allies. The engineers’ job was to improve on the handmade machine, bring it to mass production and help England win the war.

From space, America’s rail system looks like a slice of brain tissue, with brightly lit train hubs and spokes standing in for neurons. Bit by bit, it's starting to behave like one.

Digital Energy: How The Cloud Is Helping This Desert Utility Keep The Lights On

March 29, 2016
GE Healthcare engineers in Finland have recently started working on a predictive software system that could one day collect human vital signs like blood pressure, temperature and breathing rate, and feed the data into a secure database for analysis. That information would be used to build individualized digital twins for each patient. The data would live in the cloud and could help spot health problems before they get out of hand.

This MRI Imaging Technique Helped Clinicians Unmask Silent Liver Disease

Tomas Kellner
March 24, 2016
Nobody wants to be told they are going to die. Yet that’s the prognosis Wayne Eskridge received from his doctors in 2010. The diagnosis was a stage-four case of cirrhosis of the liver. As he and his family despaired over the future, he received another medical opinion, saying this time that he was fine with no liver disease. He was counting his blessings, but later the emotional rollercoaster took another dive when the diagnosis reversed once more.

This Massive Magnet Will Generate Power At America's First Offshore Windfarm

Tomas Kellner
March 20, 2016
Offshore wind farms can tap into a bounty of wind that allows them to work twice as productively. But that efficiency comes at a cost. Like any sea-based technology, wind farms are difficult to build and expensive to maintain, with workers fighting against the same weather that makes the farms work so well. As a result, terrestrial turbines have been steadily gaining ground compared to turbines built at sea. But that may soon change.

How GE Is Helping Build America’s 1st Offshore Wind Farm

Timothy Brown
March 18, 2016
New wind farms added more than a quarter of total new power generation capacity in the United States between 2010 and 2014, reaching 75,000 megawatts at the end of last year. No other country with the exception of China has more. But the race is on.

Czechmate: This Advanced Turboprop Engine Could Create A $40 Billion Market

Tomas Kellner
March 16, 2016
When GE Aviation bought the storied but obscure Czech turboprop builder Walter Aircraft Engines in 2008, the American company hadn’t developed a new propeller engine in decades. Companies like Pratt & Whitney Canada dominated the market, while GE focused chiefly on making engines for passenger and military jets.
