온 누리에 환한 평화와 기쁨을! GE가 밝혀주는 메리 크리스마스

2015년 12월 23일

크리스마스 조명의 역사에서 무려 100년이 넘는 시간 동안 GE는 전통을 넘어 혁신을 상징하는 이름이었다. 크리스마스를 ‘크리스마스답게’ 만드는 조명 기술에서 GE는 늘 최상의 가치와 최고의 수준을 추구하고 있다. GE의 밝고 아름다운 LED조명 기술과 함께, 온 세상에 평화와 기쁨이 가득하기를!

빨간 코 루돌프의 비밀

2014년 12월 22일

유명한 순록 루돌프의 탄생에 GE가 결정적인 역할을 했음을 알고 있는 사람이 얼마나 있을까? 지금으로부터 50여 년 전, 빨간 코의 순록 루돌프는 GE의 윌리엄 살로프의 도움으로 처음으로 TV에 등장했다. 그 당시 살로프는 몰랐겠지만, 그로부터 불과 2~3년 전 GE의 한 엔지니어가 연구소에서 빨간색 LED 발명에 성공했었다. 말하자면 루돌프의 TV 출연을 위한 준비가 된 셈이랄까.

This Ultra Performance Heat Exchanger is a perfect example of how small parts can make a HUGE difference. Still in development, the additively manufactured compact heat exchanger is printed with a high-temperature capable, crack-resistant nickel superalloy that will be able to withstand temps that exceed 1,650°F at pressures >3,600 psi. Good thing, too, because it’s headed straight for the inside of a gas turbine, where it’s projected to deliver a 4% improvement in thermal efficiency for supercritical C02 power cycles while improving power output and reducing emissions. Cleaner, more efficient power generation here we come.
Spooky season is here, but don't let your annual mammogram scare you. Nearly 30% of women in the U.S. admit to skipping breast screenings out of fear. That's why @gehealthcare engineers decided to better the experience with a mammography system designed by women, for women. Melding comforting design with cutting edge technology, the Senographe Pristina aims to humanize the process for patients, technicians, and radiologists. #BCAM #Mammography #breastcancerawareness
Slice into an additively-made part from @geadditive and you’ll see geometries once thought impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. Why the hype? Engineers can now find greater strength and efficiency through design. #engineering #additive #3Dprinting #manufacturing
Colder weather is on the way. If you’re in Winnipeg, Canada, that means ice testing is too. There, @geaviation test engines are pummeled with sub-zero winds and ice. The harsh conditions on the ground make sure engines are ready to face the elements in the air. #AVgeek #jetengine #engineering
Wind, meet water. In Germany’s Swabian-Franconian Forest, you’ll find the world’s tallest (584 ft) and first-ever wind turbines integrated with pumped storage hydroelectric power. So how does it work? At the base of each wind turbine sits a reservoir. Water flowing downhill from the reservoirs will power the hydro plant when electricity is needed. When there’s an energy surplus, the hydro power will push the water back up the hill to the reservoirs, where it will act as a giant battery for the wind turbines. So no matter if the wind is blowing or not, electricity will always be flowing
