This all depends on firstly how the turbine is built, and how large the turbine is. Please add more detail.

Does a turbine turn kinetic energy into electrical energy?
It turns the pressure energy into kinetic energy that moves the rotors electric generators to produce electricity
What makes electricity by letting falling water turn turbines and generators?
The moving or falling water travels through a turbine, causing the turbine blades to spin. This in turn, is used to drive a generator (in simple terms, this is a magnet that spins inside a coil of copper wire). The rotating magnetic field produced by the spinning magnet induces an electrical current in the copper wire hence generating electricity. Please see the related links for further information.
Converting oil into electricity?
There are 3 ways to convert oil to electricity:1. Conventional steam: oil is burned to heat water and steam, to turn the turbine2. Combustion turbine: oil is burned under pressure to get hot exhaust gases3. Combined-cycle technology: oil is firstly combusted using the combustion turbine meathod, then after the gases are recovered, they heat the water in a boiler and power a second turbineHope this helps - Jack (http://edinburghjunction.webs.com)
How is water related to electricity?
There are several ways for water to generate electricity:Hydroelectric Power: Water from a high location or from behind a dam flows through a turbine to turn a generatorWave Power: The oscillations of waves lift and lower floats which turn generatorsTidal Power: Tides flowing in and out of narrow estuaries turn turbinesThermal Power: Water is turned to steam by burning fuel or nuclear energy. The stream turns a turbine to turn generatorsGeothermal Power: Water turned to steam by the Earth's heat is directed through steam turbines to turn generatorsSolar Power: Sunlight is turned to electricity by solar panels. The electricity is used to turn water to hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is collected as a fuel for fuel cells.
How is electricity produced at a power station?
In a coal-fired power station, a boiler burns coal to produce steam. The steam makes a turbine spin. The turbine drives an electricity generator. The electricity from the generator is converted to a higher voltage by a transformer. This higher voltage is to enable transmission over long power lines without losing too much energy. When it comes to reach our homes, it is then converted back into lower voltage by other transformers. Nuclear power stations are similar - instead of a coal-fired boiler, a nuclear reactor creates the steam. Wind turbines use the blades to turn the generator.
How does coal power a turbine that goes through a generator to create electricity?
Burning coal is used to heat water to create steam. The pressure caused by the steam is used to turn a turbine. This in turn spins magnets next to wires. This create electricity.
Does electricity is made by water?
You use flowing water to turn a turbine. Or you heat water and turn it into steam which is used to turn a turbine.You use flowing water to turn a turbine. Or you heat water and turn it into steam which is used to turn a turbine.
How do you turn Turbine Blades?
Turbine blades turn by the winds power so if its windy they turn fast if it is not windy at all they don't turn
Can you recycle water after using it for electricity?
yes, all it did was turn a turbine.
How are soures of radiation energy used to make electricity?
the radioactive material is used to create a sustained reaction which creates heat. The heat is used to turn water into steam which turns a turbine to generate electricity.
How can you turn water energy into electricity?
The energy produced by water in motion is passed through a fan or turbine. A generator attached to the fan or turbine spins with it and produces electricity.
What is the use of fission?
Nuclear fission generally produces a lot of energy. In a nuclear power plant, this energy is used to create steam to turn a turbine and generate electricity.
How do you convert pressure into electricity?
If you heat water in a closed vessel it will turn to steam when hot enough. This creates a pressure in the vessel that can force the steam being produced to drive the blades of a turbine generator to create electricity.
How is running water electricity?
Running water can turn a turbine that runs a generator.
What are the steps in making power supply?
An external form of energy to turn a metal turbine around a magnet is the most common and easiest way to generate electricity. Examples : burning coal to turn the turbine or with windmills to turn the turbine.
How is electricity produce in a nuclear plant?
Heat is released to change water to steam.Then the steam turn the bladof a turbine to make electricity.
How is wind created in a wind turbine?
wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
