1. Craig spent much of his career designing turbine generators for airplanes and turbochargers for cars and trucks. 2. The device will focus sunlight onto a boiler that generates vapor to drive a turbine generator, giving a continuous supply of electricity. 3. The small turbine generator, or microturbine, based on the same technology as a jet engine, seems to be a perfect solution. 4. Tony Prophet also expects Capstone to have a tough time but not because there is no future for small turbine generators. 5. When the blades spin, they will power a turbine generator in each tower hub. 6. While large turbine generators have been in use for years, the microturbine is quieter, cleaner, relatively maintenance-free, and requires no long power lines. 7. Plant employees investigating the shutoff discovered that part of the turbine generator had been completely destroyed. 8. Production testing started late last year, but the plant was shut down several times mainly because of malfunctions in the main turbine generator. 9.

Its meagre electricity supplies come from ingenious improvised water turbine generators anchored by Gorazde residents in the river Drina. |
