Quite simply, a turbine is any device that converts fluid motion into usable energy. The first turbine would either be the aeolipile (ca. 100 BCE), which was two opposite vents that created thrust in one direction using steam, or naturally powered machines such as windmills and water wheels.

What are wind turbines made?
Wind energy is made by spinning turbines. The wind spins the wind turbines and they generate energy.
What are wind turbines made out of?
its made of BOB
When were wind turbines made?
in 1887
What are water turbines made of?
metal
How is wind electricity made by wind?
Wind turbines
Is all electricity made in the same way?
No, it can be made by rotating machines or by solar panels. Rotating machines can be driven by engines or by the wind. Engines can be water turbines (hydroelectric), steam turbines (coal/oil), gas turbines or petrol or diesel.
How is wind made into electicity?
Wind can be made to drive windmills which can cause turbines to rotate. The turbines have electromagnets which move through coils. By electromagnetic induction this generates an electric current.
How come some turbines can take 20 percent of co2 with 80 percent methane while other turbines ask for 100 percent methane?
It Just depends on who Built the Turbine, far-en turbines use more co2 than turbines made near you.
Is hydro electricity sustainable?
Yes because hydro-electricity relies on turbines which need to be turned round. In most cases, it is made from dams(made on rivers), which relies on water passing through it to turn the turbines.
What are some of the different designs of wind turbines?
country side wind turbines and modern turbines
Where have wind turbines been used successfully in the UK?
Britain has the largest offshore wind farm in the world, the 175-turbines of the London Array wind farm, off the Kentcoast.
