turbogenerator
Steam-driven electricity maker
A turbogenerator is a machine that combines a turbine and an electrical generator on a single shaft, converting mechanical energy from steam, gas, or water into electricity.
These units are the workhorses of power plants worldwide: The plant's turbogenerators produce enough electricity for a small city.
