Something boils water which creates steam. This being much larger than liquid water increases pressure, creating a movement of air through the turbine. This makes the turbine rotate, which generates electricity. It does this by rotating a magnet inside a coil. This induces an electric current in the coil. Magnetic fields and electric fields are related: when one changes, the other is created. And an electric field pretty much means voltage, which creates a current.

What is a turbofan thrust?

Turbofan thrust refers to the propulsion generated by a turbofan engine, which is commonly used in commercial and military aircraft. This type of engine combines a gas turbine core with a large fan at the front, producing thrust by accelerating a substantial mass of air through the engine. The thrust is generated both from the high-speed exhaust gases and the bypass air that is moved by the fan, making turbofan engines efficient for long-haul flights. The thrust produced can be adjusted by varying the engine's power settings, allowing for effective control during different phases of flight.


Which type of engine is used by F-16?
