Abstract
A gas turbine engine is of a size suitable for generating electrical and heat energy for domestic and other purposes. The engine has a low number of components, and some of the components are capable of performing more than one function. For example, the engine has a centrifugal compressor driven by a centripetal turbine through a shaft. The compressor and turbine are mounted in a casing comprising a two part core and two end plates. The gas flow ducting is formed by surfaces on the compressor and turbine rotors, the core and the two end plates.
