- Rotary engine in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted into mechanical energy by causing a bladed rotor to rotate
- A turbine is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work.
- Any of various rotary machines that use the kinetic energy of a continuous stream of fluid (a liquid or a gas) to turn a shaft
- (Turbines) A mechanical vent that spins and vents approximately 300 sq. ft. of attic space.
- Wind turbines are an efficient method of converting wind energy into electrical power both onshore and off.
- A device for converting the flow of a fluid (air, steam, water, or hot gases) into mechanical motion.
- An engine that produces rotary motion through reaction or impulse, or both, with moving fluid or gas. The resultant rotary motion is usually used to drive an alternator generator.
- A machine for converting the heat energy in steam or high temperature gas into mechanical energy. In a turbine, a high velocity flow of steam or gas passes through successive rows of radial blades fastened to a central shaft.
- A device used in the generation of electricity. It has a shaft with blades at one end and electromagnets at the other. Water or steam or some other energy source pushes the blades, which make the shaft and the magnets spin very fast. ...
