4Electric generator — U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator In electricity generation, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electric charge (usually carried by electrons) to flow… …
5Electrical generator — In electricity generation, an electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, generally using electromagnetic induction. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor …
6Water turbine — A water turbine is a rotary engine that takes energy from moving water.Water turbines were developed in the nineteenth century and were widely used for industrial power prior to electrical grids. Now they are mostly used for electric power… …
7Gas turbine locomotive — A Gas turbine locomotive is a locomotive powered by a gas turbine. The majority of gas turbine locomotives have had electric transmission but mechanical transmission has also been used, particularly in the early days. The advantage of using gas… …
8Wind turbine — Offshore wind farm using 5MW turbines REpower 5M in the North Sea off Belgium This article discusses wind powered electrical generators. See windmill for wind powered machinery used to grind grain or pump water. A wind turbine is a device that… …
9Steam 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… …
10Gas turbine — Microturbine redirects here. For turbines in electricity, see Small wind turbine. For turbines driven by the flow of gas, see Turbine. A typical axial flow gas turbine turbojet, the J85, sectioned for display. Flow is left to right, multistage… …
