Yes, turbines used today are radial steam engines.
Pumps, to remove water from coal mines.
Steam engines were first used in the tin mines of Cornwall, England to pump water from the mines which often extended out under the Cornish coastline.
The first use of steam power was over 2000 years ago. It was a simple devise that used steam to make movement. Steam engines have been around since the 1600s.
Steam engines presently produce more power than all other types of engines combined. Most steam engines take the form of the steam turbine engine. The steam turbine is responsible for generating about 86% of the electric power used on this planet. Reciprocating steam engines are still in use for limited applications, but are generally considered obsolete. Steam engines, either the piston or turbine type were used on most big ships until recently, and there are still a few steam locomotives about.
