Throttle Valve Control For Fission Heated Simple Closed Cycle Gas Turbines

The best way to lower construction and operating costs is copy the successes and avoid the failures of other projects. That is easy to say, hard to accomplish. As I dug into more details about combining atomic heat with Brayton cycle gas turbines, I opened my research aperture as wide as possible so that I could find out what made both simple cycle combustion gas turbines and light water reactors

The Adams Engine™ Story From the Beginning

The Adams Engine™ started off with a Boolean search on the following string - "nuclear AND gas turbine". Amazingly enough, there were dozens of hits with articles about various projects and conceptual designs that combined the benefits of nuclear reactors producing the heat and Brayton Cycle gas turbines turning that heat into useful power. I did that search in the fall of 1991, while auditing a
