2. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

   A steam–electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam-driven: water is heated, evaporates, and spins a steam turbine which drives an electric generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser .

3. Electric steam boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_steam_boiler

   Electric steam boiler on the training ship Golden Bear. An electric steam boiler is a type of boiler where the steam is generated using electricity, rather than through the combustion of a fuel source. Such boilers are used to generate steam for process purposes in many locations, for example laundries, food processing factories and hospitals ...

4. Turbo generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_generator

   A turbo generator is an electric generator connected to the shaft of a turbine (water, steam, or gas) for the generation of electric power. [ note 1 ] Large steam-powered turbo generators provide the majority of the world's electricity and are also used by steam-powered turbo-electric ships.

5. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

   Supercritical steam generators are frequently used for the production of electric power. They operate at supercritical pressure. In contrast to a "subcritical boiler", a supercritical steam generator operates at such a high pressure (over 3,200 psi or 22.06 MPa) that actual boiling ceases to occur, the boiler has no liquid water - steam separation.

6. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   A magnetohydrodynamic generator directly extracts electric power from moving hot gases through a magnetic field, without the use of rotating electromagnetic machinery. MHD generators were originally developed because the output of a plasma MHD generator is a flame, well able to heat the boilers of a steam power plant. The first practical design ...

7. Steam generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator

   Steam generator (auxiliary boiler), a steam-powered boiler used on ships to produce a low-pressure steam, heated by a high-pressure steam supply rather than a flame. Steam generator (boiler), an oil- or gas-fired boiler, based on a low-water content monotube coil. Steam generator (nuclear power), a heat exchanger in a pressurized water nuclear ...

8. Combined cycle power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_cycle_power_plant

   Working principle of a combined cycle power plant (Legend: 1-Electric generators, 2-Steam turbine, 3-Condenser, 4-Pump, 5-Boiler/heat exchanger, 6-Gas turbine) The efficiency of a heat engine, the fraction of input heat energy that can be converted to useful work, is limited by the temperature difference between the heat entering the engine and ...

9. Tesla's oscillator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla's_oscillator

   Tesla's electro-mechanical oscillator is a steam-powered electric generator patented by Nikola Tesla in 1893. [1] [2] Later in life, Tesla claimed one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, gaining it the colloquial title "Tesla's earthquake machine".
