Water turbine took about one hundred years. Development occurred during the Industrial revolution, using scientific principles and methods. They also made extensive use of new materials and manufacturing methods developed at the time. The word turbine was introduced by the French engineer Claude Burdin in the early 19th century and is derived from the Greek word "τύρβη" for "whirling" or a "vortex". The main difference between early water turbines and water wheels is a swirl component of the water which passes energy to a spinning rotor. This additional component of motion allowed the turbine to be smaller than a water wheel of
Turbine-electric transmission generator is operated when the gas turbine engine is running and also when the motor's battery needs charging. The aircraft gas turbine engine system, patent number 5,867,979, is a gas turbine engine that is mounted on an aircraft, which the system generates and utilizes electrical and other power. The gas engine turbine system’s core is made up of a compressor, a three shaft propulsive gas turbine engine, which has three electrical generators. Each generator is connected to one segment of the shaft, which is part of the engine. Then a propulsive fan is driven by the compressor and the generators.
