Turbine is a kind of machine that is used to convert the motion of a fluid into mechanical energy. It consists of a number of blades fixed to a central hub. The force of the fluid acting against the blades pushes them round. When the turbine rotates, the shaft rotates and this can be used to drive other machinery.
