Abstract
A low-cost, lightweight mobile gas turbine capable of rotating in excess ofne hundred thousand RPM is coupled to a centrifugal air compressor which supplies high volume airflow to a diesel fueled combustion chamber for supplying hot gas to the turbine. Three energy outputs are obtained in the form of pressurized airflow, hot gas flow and large volumes of directed ambient air. The hardware components are essentially state-of-the-art, but their combination for use in multi-purpose military combat operations has not heretofore been known. Such uses include smoke generation, dissemination of infre-red and radar absorbant clouds, decontamination of large masses, hot water supply and air pressure source for mechanics tool operation.
