turbine generator system
1turbine — /terr bin, buyn/, n. any of various machines having a rotor, usually with vanes or blades, driven by the pressure, momentum, or reactive thrust of a moving fluid, as steam, water, hot gases, or air, either occurring in the form of free jets or as …
2Steam turbine — A rotor of a modern steam turbine, used in a power plant A steam turbine is a mechanical device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam, and converts it into rotary motion. Its modern manifestation was invented by Sir Charles Parsons… …
3Turbine de tesla — La turbine de Tesla est un type de turbine sans pales breveté par Nikola Tesla en 1913. Elle utilise l effet de couche limite, et pas l impact d un fluide contre des pales comme c est le cas dans une turbine conventionnelle. La turbine de Tesla… …
