The turbine converts pressure & heat energy (in steam turbine & gas turbine), velocity energy (in hydro turbine) into mechanical energy which produces rotation of the turbine. This mechanical force is used to rotate the rotor(which is coupled with the same shaft as that of turbine) of the generator which converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy.

How do water generators work?

If you mean a hydroelectric generator, the weight of falling water turns a turbine or water wheel. The turbine or water wheel is attached to a generator, and turns the generator, producing electricity.


What forces will turn a turbine of a generator?

Steam, water, or wind can apply force to turn the turbine of a generator. The turbine converts the kinetic energy from these sources into mechanical energy, which in turn drives the generator to produce electricity.

How do windmills create energy or how does the generator work inside one?

Windmills create energy by harnessing the kinetic energy of wind to rotate the blades, which are connected to a generator. The generator converts the rotational motion of the blades into electrical energy through the principles of electromagnetic induction. This electrical energy is then transmitted to the grid for use.


How does a turbogenerator work?

A turbogenerator is a device that consists of a turbine mechanically coupled to an electric generator. The turbine is driven by a fluid (such as steam or gas) to convert its energy into rotational mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then used to turn the generator to produce electricity.


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.
