TURBINE
Tur"bine, n. Etym: [L. turbo, -inis, that which spins or whirls
round, whirl.]
Definition: A water wheel, commonly horizontal, variously constructed, but
usually having a series of curved floats or buckets, against which
the water acts by its impulse or reaction in flowing either outward
from a central chamber, inward from an external casing, or from above
downward, etc.; -- also called turbine wheel.
Note: In some turbines, the water is supplied to the wheel from
below, instead of above. Turbines in which the water flows in a
direction parallel to the axis are called parallel-flow turbines.
