Talk:Turbine–electric powertrain

Rename?
I propose that the article Turbo-electric transmission be renamed Steam turbine-electric transmission and that the article Turbine-electric transmission be renamed Gas turbine-electric transmission. For comparison, the article Diesel-electric transmission is not Piston engine-electric transmission. Biscuittin (talk) 18:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Turbo-electric transmission
There might be some material that could be salvaged from this deleted article:. Also we might want to broaden the scope of this article to include steam turbines, now that the other article is gone. GA-RT-22 (talk) 18:48, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Edit: This is not the old Turbo-Electric page the Lexington class used to link too, which was a ship propulsion article. Can that article be brought back? It was better in quality, if needing some expansion. This one is missing things like how between 1920-1945, it would eat up 30% more engine room, compared to a gearbox setup.

Too train focused, this current one, with a very big lack on what for propulsion system we are actually dealing with. You also have cars, using turbo-electric propulsion, you know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1C04:3C35:BA00:888D:EC29:9802:4F61 (talk) 20:54, 28 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, this article is totally inadequate for describing the nuclear and circa 1920 capital ship turbo-electric drivetrains. Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 05:25, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
