A turbine is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work.
The simplest turbines have one moving part, a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades, or the blades react to the flow, so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor. Early turbine examples are windmills and water wheels
Gas, steam, and water turbines usually have a casing around the blades that contains and controls the working fluid. Credit for invention of the steam turbine is given both to the British Engineer Sir Charles Parsons (1854-1931), for invention of the reaction turbine and to Swedish Engineer Gustaf de Laval (1845-1913), for invention of the impulse turbine. Modern steam turbines frequently employ both reaction and impulse in the same unit, typically varying the degree of reaction and impulse from the blade root to its periphery.
A device similar to a turbine but operating in reverse, i.e., driven, is a compressor or pump. The axial compressor in many gas turbine engines is a common example. Here again, both reaction and impulse are employed and again, in modern axial compressors, the degree of reaction and impulse will typically vary from the blade root to its periphery.

How do I remove the generator from the engine in a Briggs and Stratton 6200 W portable generator?
they make electricity
What energy source does hydroelectric plant use to generate electricity?
Water is used to tun a turbine. It is used instead of using fossil fuels to burn water to turn a turbine.
Can a 1000 watt generator run a 1500 watt ceramic heater?
A 1000 watt generator cannot run a 1500 watt ceramic heater without having problems.
What rhymes with defibrillator?
regulator, generator, alligator, instigator, investigator
Gas turbine generator?
gas turbine generator
How is potential energy changed into 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.For example, in a hydroelectric dam, water makes a turbine move; the turbine makes a generator move, the generator generates the electricity.
What is the relationship turbine and generator?
steam powers a turbine which drives a generator to produce electrical power

What is a different between the turbine and genetrators?
A turbine drives a generator.
What is effect on turbine generator if frequency is high or low?
turbine will trip
What does a turbine produce?
A turbine is most commonly connected to a generator to produce electricity. The turbine may be turned by water falling into it, and a generator produces electricity by turning through a magnetic field.
What is the relationship between turbine and the generator?
They are used together to make hydroelectricity.
How can you make a small working model of a hydro electric power station?
you need to do you have a small turbine and generator by the axis of the movement of turbine generator to you.
What is A device with blades that turns generator?
A turbine is a device with blades that turn a generator.
Does a wind turbine turn the generator?
yes
What is the pressure inside the turbine casing?
a generator
