#rotary_engine an internal-combustion engine in which power is transmitted directly to rotating components
supertype: internal-combustion_engine__ICE a heat engine in which combustion occurs inside the engine rather than in a separate furnace; heat expands a gas that either moves a piston or turns a gas turbine
subtype: turbine rotary engine in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted into mechanical energy by causing a bladed rotor to rotate
subtype: gas_turbine__gasturbine turbine that converts the chemical energy of a liquid fuel into mechanical energy by internal combustion; gaseous products of the fuel (which is burned in compressed air) are expanded through a turbine
subtype: hydroelectric_turbine__hydroelectricturbine turbine consisting of a large and efficient version of a water wheel used to drive an electric generator
subtype: Francis_turbine a type of hydroelectric turbine
subtype: impulse_turbine__impulseturbine a turbine that is driven by jets direct against the blades
subtype: reaction_turbine a turbine with blades arranged to develop torque from gradual decrease of steam pressure from inlet to exhaust
subtype: steam_turbine__steamturbine turbine in which steam strikes blades and makes them turn
subtype: Wankel_engine__Wankel_rotary_engine__epitrochoidal_engine__epitrochoidalengine a rotary engine that is a four-stroke internal-combustion engine without reciprocating parts
