Book excerpt: A bold railroading technology and its fate. Are there any other better words to describe it? Turbine Power by Walter Simpson is a new book that covers steam and gas turbine locomotives and trains, how they functioned, and the technology used from the 1939-2003 era that made them go. This is the first book that brings together information about turbine locomotives and trains that collects all of the various projects in one place. From first prototypes to the most recent proposals, everything is presented with vintage images and references that all railroad fans will enjoy.

Excerpt: The UAC TurboTrain was an early high-speed, gas turbine train manufactured by United Aircraft Corporation that operated in Canada between 1968 and 1984 and in the United States between 1968 and 1976 (though they were not disposed of by Amtrak until 1980). It was one of the first gas turbine powered trains to enter service for passenger traffic, and was also one of the first tilting trains to enter service. Passenger trains have fundamentally different needs than freight trains, but for much of early history the two needs had been served by the same engines for reasons of economy. The introduction of newer materials and construction methods, notably lightweight construction using aluminum and stainless steel, led to a revolution in design and the need for entire trainsets dedicated to passenger use. This evolution led to the introduction of articulated trains (or "unit trains"), where the passenger cars were fixed to each other and difficult, or impossible, to separate. By sharing a single bogie between the cars, weight could be further reduced, and performance increased. The classic examples of the articulated passenger trainset are the M-10000 and Pioneer Zephyr of 1934. In practice, the flexibility offered by detachable cars proved too much to overcome any advantages of the articulated style, and the articulated...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of how diesel engines and gas turbines, used to power cargo ships and jet airplanes, made today's globally integrated economy possible. The many books on globalization published over the past few years range from claims that the world is flat to an unlikely rehabilitation of Genghis Khan as a pioneer of global commerce. Missing from these accounts is a consideration of the technologies behind the creation of the globalized economy. What makes it possible for us to move billions of tons of raw materials and manufactured goods from continent to continent? Why are we able to fly almost anywhere on the planet within twenty-four hours? In Prime Movers of Globalization, Vaclav Smil offers a history of two key technical developments that have driven globalization: the high-compression non-sparking internal combustion engines invented by Rudolf Diesel in the 1890s and the gas turbines designed by Frank Whittle and Hans-Joachim Pabst von Ohain in the 1930s. The massive diesel engines that power cargo ships and the gas turbines that propel jet engines, Smil argues, are more important to the global economy than any corporate structure or international trade agreement. Smil compares the efficiency and scale of these two technologies to prime movers of the past, including the sail and the steam engine. The lengthy processes of development, commercialization, and diffusion that the diesel engine and the gas turbine went through, he argues, provide perfect examples of gradual technical advances that receive little attention but have resulted in epochal shifts in global affairs and the global economy.
