There are three basic types of hydro turbines: impulse, reaction, and submersible propeller. All produce clean energy or green energy—power from renewable resources. Impulse turbines produce ...

There are two basic types of steam turbines: impulse and reaction. Impulse turbines are used for smaller power-generation applications. Reaction turbines are used for industrial-scale power generation ...

This is called a chain reaction. All these splitting atoms release a lot of energy, making the uranium rods very, very hot. This heat turns water into steam which spins turbines connected to ...
