Talk:Turbine

message: This bit says that near supersonic speeds the turbine has a reduced efficiency. Are the rear turbines in a jet engine just inefficient, as the air is certainly supersonic in some of them? Or can turbines become more efficient at completly supersonic speeds? cc 24.137.78.34 00:22, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  transonic turbine 

message: I re-wrote this page.  Some of the material was already covered in Gas turbine or Steam turbine. And some of the material I moved to Steam turbine.
Also; organized, added theory, added sections and added external links.

message: in the solar updraft tower there are turbines ... are these turbines limited by the betz limit?  
also: how efficient are turbines?--Flexme 01:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does the see also section have a link to RMS Lusitania? The article notes that she had steam turbines, but makes no special mention otherwise. The first turbine powered merchant vessel was the Clyde steamer TS King Edward, built in 1901. References available on request, must try to get round to writing an article for that ship sometime. .. dave souza, talk 09:26, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Buoyancy turbines 

message: Ok. And where is the "Turbine blades"? Somebody deleted this article, but this blades are almost absent in this article. This is very interesting theme and necessary to creat individual article. Sorry my bad English. ---- Pretenderrs =TALK=  —Preceding undated comment added 20:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

message: A turbine is the whole of a rotor and stator (or a electrical generator without the blades). Turbines are thus only used in electrical generators.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.245.90.148 (talk)

message: Weeding Windmill - this is a certain type of windmill that produces vasts amount of pump.
No other source on the web appears to know what a "weeding windmill" is, although it seems to be a headword. The sentence is also moderately illiterate. Vandalism? Lee-Anne (talk) 01:33, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
