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.

Are there spark plugs in turbofan engines?

No. There are not "spark plugs" on turbofan engines. There are ignitors, which help to ignite the fuel during start, but unlike spark plugs, ignitors do not run constantly.

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.
