Part of the Hardware glossary: A turbine is a machine that transforms rotational energy from a fluid that is picked up by a rotor system into usable work or energy. Turbines achieve this either through mechanical gearing or electromagnetic induction to produce electricity. Types of turbines include steam turbines, wind turbines, gas turbines or water turbines. Mechanical uses of turbine power go back to ancient Greece.
An impulse turbine is a horizontal or vertical wheel that uses the kinetic energy of water striking. its buckets or blades to cause rotation. The wheel is covered by a housing and the buckets or. blades are shaped so they turn the flow of water about 170 degrees inside the housing.
