Not usually, in power plants they are solidly coupled. I have never heard of a variable coupling, but that is not to say that one has never been built.
A turbine drives a generator.
gas turbine generator
They are used together to make hydroelectricity.
For example, in a hydroelectric dam, water makes a turbine move; the turbine makes a generator move, the generator generates the electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric dam, water makes a turbine move; the turbine makes a generator move, the generator generates the electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric dam, water makes a turbine move; the turbine makes a generator move, the generator generates the electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric dam, water makes a turbine move; the turbine makes a generator move, the generator generates the electricity.
RADITOR * Small generators either air cooled or water cooled 2 stroke. Autos are mainly 4 stroke and the majority watercooled.
steam powers a turbine which drives a generator to produce electrical power
a wind turbine generator is similar to a on a bicycle?
It's the connection between the steam outlet of the turbine and the condenser to which it is attached.
A turbine is powered by such things as steam, burning gas or oil, water, or wind. The turbine is a type of engine, which might be thought of as a more efficient choice than a gas engine or reciprocating steam engine for doing the same job. The turbine could do many things ranging from powering a vehicle such as a helicopter, a ship, a locomotive, or a piece of equipment such as a centrifuge, a pump, or a generator. When a turbine powers a generator, the generator makes electricity.
In a way. It is the difference between temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the steam turbine (generically, a 'heat engine') which results in the turbine spinning -this, in turn, causes the generator to spin.
turbine will trip
A hydroelectric generator requires two things to produce power; water and head. Water is obviously needed to spin the turbine, and head is the difference in altitude between the surface of the water in the reservoir above the generator and the water turbine at the generator.
