He was currently working on a direct thermocouple, a solid-state fibre which would convert thermal energy straight into electricity, eliminating any need for conventional turbines and generators.

In a conventional turbine, up to half the generated power is used driving the compressor.

The head can be converted into power, using a long series of conventional low-head turbines installed in the dam.

The main difference between the Gorlov helical turbine and conventional turbines is the orientation of the axis in relation to current flow.

That heat is used to create steam, which then spins conventional turbines.

The efficiency of a conventional turbine is related to the pressure difference between the intake and the exhaust.

A Tesla turbine differs from a conventional turbine only in the mechanism used for transferring energy to the shaft.

The neutrons would heat the blanket, and this heat would be transferred to a steam boiler to power a conventional turbine.

Four generators are conventional turbines and another four are reversible turbines.

Bladeless turbine uses the boundary layer effect and not a fluid impinging upon the blades as in a conventional turbine.
