Nederlandsche Dok En Scheepsbouw Maatschappij
The Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) (Dutch: ''Netherlands dock and shipbuilding company''), was a shipbuilding and repair company based in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, existing from 1946 to 1979. The area of about 80 hectares has since 2013 been transformed into a modern city district as a distinct part of Amsterdam-Noord and is still under development. The industrial wharfs and structures have been replaced by apartment buildings and hospitality industry, still called NDSM. Foundation Partnership turned into Public Company The company came into existence as a general partnership named Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM), founded by Nederlandsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NSM) and Nederlandsche Dok Maatschappij (NDM) both from Amsterdam. On 27 February 1946 this partnership was confirmed by the shareholders of both companies. The partnership would soon be turned into the public company NDSM NV. All assets would be handed to NDSM, and staf ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dewantara-class Corvette

Marine Propulsion
Marine propulsion is the mechanism or system used to generate thrust to move a watercraft through water. While paddles and sails are still used on some smaller boats, most modern ships are propelled by mechanical systems consisting of an electric motor or internal combustion engine driving a propeller, or less frequently, in pump-jets, an impeller. Marine engineering is the discipline concerned with the engineering design process of marine propulsion systems. Human-powered paddles and oars, and later, sails were the first forms of marine propulsion. Rowed galleys, some equipped with sail, played an important early role in early human seafaring and warfares. The first advanced mechanical means of marine propulsion was the marine steam engine, introduced in the early 19th century. During the 20th century it was replaced by two-stroke or four-stroke diesel engines, outboard motors, and gas turbine engines on faster ships. Marine nuclear reactors, which appeared in the 1950s, pro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Steam Turbine
A steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation was invented by Charles Parsons in 1884. Fabrication of a modern steam turbine involves advanced metalwork to form high-grade steel alloys into precision parts using technologies that first became available in the 20th century; continued advances in durability and efficiency of steam turbines remains central to the energy economics of the 21st century. The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement in thermodynamic efficiency from the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam, which results in a closer approach to the ideal reversible expansion process. Because the turbine generates rotary motion, it can be coupled to a generator to harness its motion into electricity. Such turbogenerators are the core of thermal power stations which can be fueled by fossil-fuels, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
