Like Father, Like Son: How Chris Day Followed His Dad Into GE’s Engineering World
When Chris Day was in sixth grade, he didn’t feel like one of the cool kids. That is, until the day he broke his battery-powered toy truck and brought it to his dad, James. Instead of buying a new one — Chris knew there was little chance of that — James took a screwdriver to the chassis and pulled out the motor. Then he showed Chris how to wire it to a propeller from a balsa wood airplane. They hooked up a 9-volt battery and voilà: a homemade electric fan. “I brought the fan to school and the kids went crazy,” Chris remembers.

From Air to Land to Sea: This Modified Jet Engine Will Power a Cruise Ship Set to Sail Around the World
Fifteen months from now, a cruise ship is scheduled to depart from Miami and travel around the world not in 180 days, but in 274. The nine-month Ultimate World Cruise is billed as the longest world cruise in history, and it will take place aboard Royal Caribbean International’s 962-foot Serenade of the Seas, visiting all seven continents and hitting over 150 destinations in more than 60 countries. Deep inside the ship’s belly, powering it throughout its voyage, will be GE technology.

Year In Review: The Silver Anniversary Of An Aviation Giant And More Milestones
2020 marked the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, the 50th year in which Earth Day was celebrated, a quarter-century since the release of the kids’ movie “Toy Story” and — for good measure — the 2,500th anniversary of the Battle of Thermopylae. GE marked a few significant milestones as well; none featured Buzz Lightyear, but they did involve some pretty cool aviation technology.

GE Tanda Tangan Kontrak Pertama Offshore Wind Turbine Terkuat Di Dunia
John Lavelle sudah melihat banyak mesin bertenaga besar selama hampir empat dasawarsa sebagai seorang insinyur GE. Namun, belum ada yang menyamai kekuatan Haliade-X, turbin angin lepas pantai (offshore wind turbine) bertenaga paling besar di dunia yang kini sudah beroperasi. Turbin ini memecahkan rekor dunia pada awal tahun ini ketika mampu menghasilkan daya listrik sebesar 288 megawatt-hours (MWh) dalam sehari. Daya sebesar itu cukup untuk memenuhi kebutuhan listrik dari 30.000 rumah di Rotterdam, yakni lokasi prototipe pertama.
