Turbine

A turbine is a device that converts the energy of a flowing fluid, such as air, water, or steam, into mechanical energy. As the fluid passes over blades mounted on a rotating shaft, it causes the shaft to spin. This rotational energy can then be used to generate electricity in power plants, propel aircraft engines, or drive machinery. Turbines operate efficiently by harnessing the natural movement of fluids, making them essential in energy production and transportation systems. Their design and operation vary depending on the specific application, but the fundamental principle is transforming fluid motion into useful mechanical power.
