1963-64 Chrysler Turbine

Chrysler built 55 of the Turbines — all painted Turbine Bronze — in 1963-64, the pinnacle of a turbine engine program that had begun after World War II. Eventually destroying all but nine, Chrysler held on to two. Six of them are in museums, and Jay Leno owns one.

Turbo Moka, designed by Matteo Frontini !

Originally invented in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti and Luigi De Ponti. While maintaining the recognizable form and function of the classic design, the project introduces significant technical and material innovations aimed at improving energy efficiency and performance.

At the core of Turbo Moka’s redesign is its helical spiral base, inspired by aircraft turbine geometry. Engineered according to principles of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, the spiral structure increases the surface area in contact with the flame by 93% compared to a traditional moka pot.

This enhancement allows for greater heat capture and more uniform energy distribution during coffee brewing.

The configuration also prolongs the contact time between the flame and the boiler, improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy consumption by up to 50%.

As a result of these refinements, Turbo Moka can brew coffee in approximately half the time of a traditional model while using about 30% less energy.

Made from high-grade aluminum, the moka is currently available in a three-cup version, with one-cup and six-cup models planned for release.

Fiat Turbina, 1954

The Fiat Turbine prototype was officially introduced in Spring 1954 at the time of the Turin Motor Show. Work on this prototype was started in 1948, and in September 1950 the first drawings were made of the layout that had been chosen. The turbine itself was completed in January 1953 and on April 14th 1954, the car went through its first test track at the Lingotto factory.

The bodywork, a sports two-seat Coupé design was aerodynamically highly efficient. Wind tunnel tests showed the drag coefficient to be about 0,14. Estimated maximum speed of the Fiat Turbina was in the region of 250 kph (155 mph).
