A gas turbine engine has a turbine (12) mounted downstream of a compressor (16) and a compressor turbine (18) mounted downstream of the turbine (12) fo r driving the compressor (16). The compressor turbine (18) has a rotor disk th at is mechanically coupled to the compressor (16) and rotates in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the turbine rotor disk (10). A heat exchanger (22) has a first circuit (24) connected to the compressor turbine (18) and a second circuit (25) connected between the compressor (16) and the turbine (12). An electric load (26) for taking off a fraction of power produced by the compressor turbine (18) includes an electric generator (28) that is mechanically coupled to the compressor turbine (18). An electric loa d controller (32) changes the fraction of power produced by the compressor (18 ) turbine based on readings from the temperature sensor located in the engine.
