turbine blade
Spinning power catcher
A turbine blade is one of the angled airfoils attached to a rotating shaft in a turbine engine.
Hot gas or steam pushes against the blades, causing the shaft to spin and converting thermal energy into mechanical power.
Turbine blades operate under extreme heat and stress, making them among the most demanding components in aerospace and power generation: The jet engine failed when a turbine blade cracked.
