gas turbine
A gas turbine is a device that converts fuel into mechanical energy using air and combustion. Air is drawn in, compressed, and mixed with fuel, then ignited. The burning gases expand rapidly and spin turbine blades, generating power. This rotational energy can drive generators to produce electricity or power aircraft engines. Gas turbines are efficient, fast-starting, and versatile, used in electricity plants, airplanes, and industrial applications. They operate continuously, using the energy from fuel combustion to produce mechanical work needed for various tasks.
