Turbine Chamber

The Turbine Chamber is a room in Eastern SkyTown on Elysia, appearing in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. This room is the site of Samus's second battle against a Berserker Lord, and is also where she obtains the first component for the Theronian Bomb.
==Description==
This room seems to function largely as storage for the first Theronian Bomb component. On the room's lower level, two electromagnetic cradle arms hold the component in place, with ropes that must be shot to sever them and allow for the Bomb to split so Samus can continue through the room. On the upper level, a complex locking mechanism holds the platform that covers most of the component in place. A turbine (likely for cooling of the Bomb component) is running at the very bottom of the room and is rapidly circulating air throughout the room.
At the top of the room, Samus fights another Berserker Lord. After destroying it, she can use four Spinners to release clamps holding down the Component. After this, she must use a Combination Lock to fully release the Component so her ship can collect it. After it is collected, the Combination Lock's terminal turns and reveals a drop shaft for Samus to descend in Morph Ball form.
Despite its name, this room contains no objects directly identified as turbines. This may be referring to the bomb component, which acts as a turbine of sorts while positioned in the lower part of the room.

==Development notes==
The room's internal name is 10_skytown_phazon, perhaps referencing the Phazon-charged Berserker Lord fought here. The keyword skytown indicates Skytown, Elysia, and the prefix 10 indicates that this is the tenth of 15 main rooms throughout the planet.
==Trivia==
*In the original version of Corruption, during the battle with the Berserker Lord, Samus could use the Spinners to try to unlock the bomb component, but the pirate could bring them down again with its shockwave attack. However, doing this may cause visual glitches with the Spinners after the fight. Speedrunners could abuse this to enter the room's higher level without triggering the fighthttps://www.metroid2002.com/corruption/boss_tricks_berserker_lord_%28elysia%29.php, and get the Bomb Component without fighting the Berserker Lord. This is fixed in the PAL and Trilogy versions: the Spinners cannot be used until the battle is over. 
**Triggering the fight while all four spinners have been activated can yield glitched results for the Berserker Lord. If the boss stands in the middle of the room while the Bomb Component door opens, the boss may fall through the open hole and land onto the lower elevation. Pushing it further can cause it to fall all the way to the bottom of the floor (It will not die however).
