Burning a fuel releases heat energy, which is used to produce high-pressure steam or hot gases. This pressurized steam or gas is directed onto the turbine blades, causing them to spin. The spinning motion of the turbine is then converted into mechanical energy to generate electricity.

How a gas turbine work?

Basically, a gas turbine is powered by gas under pressure, The gas is pressurized by burning some type of fuel such as kerosene, jet fuel, or propane. That heat causes air expansion, and the subsequent inflow of air makes the turbine spin. A gas turbine consists of three main parts; a combustion chamber, a turbine and a compressor. Air and fuel are mixed in the combustion chamber where it is ignited and increases in speed and power. This power is directed over the turbine blades which spin the turbine and power the compressor. It's a pretty simple process: heated fuel causes pressure and air expansion. The expanded air causes a turbine to spin. That is how gas turbines like jet engines work.


What is the drive of a turbo charger?

the exhaust spins a turbine to make it spin


Uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?

A windmill uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine. This is a natural way to make energy and keep it for future use.


How is moveing water used?

It used to make electricity, but first it has to go by a turbine and make it spin to make electricty.


How does nuclear energy work simpyfied?

Nuclear fuel - uranium - gets hot and brings water to boil. The steam makes a turbine spin, and the turbine makes an electric generator spin. Electricity from the generator is fed out onto the grid and into peoples homes.


What is needed to make the blades of a turbine spin?

To make the blades of a turbine spin, you need a power source, such as wind, water, or steam, to generate the force needed to turn the blades. This force is converted into rotational energy which drives the turbine blades, connected to a shaft that then drives the generator to produce electricity.


How does nuclear fusion spin a turbine?

It can't as nobody has figured out how to make a fusion reactor.


Does heat energy make wires in a generator spin?

In a way. It is the difference between temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the steam turbine (generically, a 'heat engine') which results in the turbine spinning -this, in turn, causes the generator to spin.


How do you make electricity out of steam?

There is a type of electrical generating machine called a steam turbine. Steam is used to make the turbine spin. The turbine contains magnets, and the moving magnetic fields, as they intersect wires, generate electricity.


How does the gas burning in a car make the wheels move?

Sends fuel injections into the engines there for running the chains, and the motor it makes the wheels spin, Thus making the car move.


How does the wind cause a turbine to spin?

turbines spin when there is a cause of wind..!!


How do power stations use steam to help generate electricity?

Power stations use the heat from burning fuel or splitting atoms to produce steam. This steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity by spinning coils within a magnetic field. The movement of the coils generates an electrical current which is then sent out to the power grid.
