The gas-dynamic trap (GDT) is an axially symmetric magnetic mirror device for plasma confinement, first proposed and studied at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk.
Gas-generator cycle
The gas-generator cycle is an open liquid rocket engine power cycle in which a small fraction of propellant burned in a gas generator drives the turbine pumps, with exhaust dumped overboard.
Gas-insulated line
A gas-insulated line (GIL) is a high-voltage power transmission system in which a conductor inside a compressed insulating gas carries large amounts of power underground or through tunnels.
Gas-operated reloading
Gas-operated reloading, also called the gas-operated action, is a firearm mechanism that uses propellant gas from a fired cartridge to cycle the action and load the next round.

Gasoline
Gasoline, also known as motor spirit, gasolene, or bensin, is a volatile hydrocarbon fuel refined from crude oil and blended with additives and ethanol, used mainly in vehicle engines.
Gasoline compression ignition
Gasoline compression ignition (GCI) is a low-temperature combustion strategy, first studied by Gautam Kalghatgi, in which gasoline autoignites under compression alone in a diesel-type engine, suppressing soot and NOx.
Gasoline direct injection
Gasoline direct injection, also called petrol direct injection, is a fuel system for spark-ignition engines that injects fuel at high pressure directly into the combustion chamber.
