It attracted worldwide attention at the 1897 Spithead Naval Review by traveling more than 34 knots. This remarkable performance accelerated the acceptance of the steam turbine as an alternative to the steam reciprocating engine on ships as well as for central electric light and power stations. Sir Charles A. Parsons (1854-1931) invented (1884), developed, and promoted the steam turbine, as well as the design of the Turbinia. For this, he is considered among the outstanding technological innovators of all time.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-landmark-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field__label">Tags</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/turbinia" hreflang="en">Turbinia</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/parsons" hreflang="en"> Parsons</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/steam" hreflang="en"> Steam</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/turbine" hreflang="en"> Turbine</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/navy" hreflang="en"> Navy</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/power-station" hreflang="en"> Power Station</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/speed" hreflang="en"> Speed</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/ocean" hreflang="en"> Ocean</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/greyhound" hreflang="en"> Greyhound</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/category/keyword/spithead" hreflang="en"> Spithead</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-comment field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">World&#039;s first turbine-driven ship</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-credit field--type-string-long field--label-inline"> <div class="field__label">Image Credit</div> <div class="field__item">Public Domain (Copyright Expired)</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-inline"> <div class="field__label">Image Caption</div> <div class="field__item">Turbinia</div> </div> Wed, 25 Jul 2012 07:40:13 +0000 Anonymous 80415 at https://www.inventionandtech.com
