On a car the a/c compressor runs off the engine.
In a house the a/c compressor is run by an electric motor. (you can figure out my next question, can't you?) How is the compressor on a airliner (737, 747,etc) powered? I've never noticed a big v-belt on the engine before. If it is powered by a electric motor, if so how is the generator powered? Is there some type of power take off from jet engines? Thanks, Paul |
