A turbine is a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, typically fitted with vanes, is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid.
Types of turbines :
1. Steam turbine
2.Water turbine
3.Wind turbines
4.Gas turbines
Steam Turbines : The steam runs through a huge and very carefully designed multi-stage turbine to spin an output shaft that drives the plant's generator.

Water Turbine: The turbines used in a hydroelectric plant( generation of electricity using flowing water) look completely different from a steam turbine because water is so much denser than steam, but it is the same principle.
Wind Turbines: Also known as wind mills, use the wind as their motive force. A wind turbine looks nothing like a steam turbine or a water turbine because wind is slow moving and very light.
Gas turbines:The engine produces its own pressurized gas, and it does this by burning something like propane, natural gas, kerosene or jet fuel. The heat that comes from burning the fuel expands air, and the high-speed rush of this hot air spins the turbine.
