A wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy, or it can be used to pump water or grind crops. If it is used to make electricity, it can be called a wind turbine, but if it is used to grind or pump, it is called a windmill.

Turbines are generally wind generated motors which are used to produce energy, mainly electrical energy.

A turbine is an engine that uses energy from the flow of liquid. Turbines can be found in jet engines, the engines of aircraft, and are responsible for most of the electricity produced on our planet.

A turbine is a machine with a shaft or drum with blades attached. When the turbine turns energy is extracted from what ever is making the turbine turn, for example wind or water or steam. The turning of the turbine is used to generate electricity
