A turbine is powered by such things as steam, burning gas or oil, water, or wind. The turbine is a type of engine, which might be thought of as a more efficient choice than a gas engine or reciprocating steam engine for doing the same job. The turbine could do many things ranging from powering a vehicle such as a helicopter, a ship, a locomotive, or a piece of equipment such as a centrifuge, a pump, or a generator.
When a turbine powers a generator, the generator makes electricity.
