  2. Briggs & Stratton Vanguard Big Block V-Twin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briggs_&_Stratton_Vanguard...

    The engine is a V-twin four-stroke, 895 cc (54.6 cu in) or 993 cc (60.6 cu in) displacement, fan-driven air-cooled, gasoline engine design. The larger displacement is achieved by increasing the stroke from 78 to 87 mm (3.1 to 3.4 in), but using the same bore of 86 mm (3.4 in).

    Briggs & Stratton kept the motor that had been the heart of the motor wheel and adapted it to power other applications such as reel lawn mowers and small equipment such as washing machines. The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1928. During World War II, Briggs & Stratton produced generators for the war effort.

    Companies like Briggs and Stratton were also producing lightweight air-cooled engines in the 0.5–2 hp (0.37–1.5 kW) range and used much lighter-weight materials. These engines also run at much higher speeds (up to approximately 2,000–4,000 rpm) and therefore produce more power for a given size than slow flywheel engines.

  6. Hydrogen-cooled turbo generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hydrogen-cooled_turbo_generator

    The bearings have to be leak-tight. A hermetic seal, usually a liquid seal, is employed; a turbine oil at pressure higher than the hydrogen inside is typically used. A metal, e.g. brass, ring is pressed by springs onto the generator shaft, the oil is forced under pressure between the ring and the shaft; part of the oil flows into the hydrogen side of the generator, another part to the air side.
