The Quasiturbine is also an optimization theory for extremely compact and efficient engine concepts.
The Quasiturbine's high power-to-weight ratio makes it exceptionally suitable for aircraft engine and its no-vibration attributes make it suitable for use in, for example: chainsaws, powered parachutes or snowmobiles. Variations on the basic Quasiturbine design also have applications as air compressors and as supercharger.

Quasirelationship

When two individuals agree to be in a relationship, but there are not any mutual romantic feelings or romantic bonds. Essentially, it is just a status.

There may be infatuation involved prior to the quasirelationship, but once a couple decides to make it official, there may be feelings of awkwardness and regret subsequently leading to a breakup.

Quasirelationships are often very brief, lasting only a week or a few weeks and maybe sometimes longer. They are prevalent among the inexperienced, young, and the immature.
Sarah agreed to be Benny's girlfriend, but once they made it official, they didn't have the feelings they expected, thus, they were in a quasirelationship.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
