Question

What hydraulic device creates a torque that can rotate a shaft?

Answer 1

The turbine, since it is a rotary engine that turns into mechanical energy the energy of a stream of water, steam or gas. The basic element of the turbine is the wheel or rotor, which has blades, propellers, blades or hubs placed around its circumference, such that the moving fluid produces a tangential force that drives the wheel and turns it. This mechanical energy is transferred through an axis to provide movement of a machine, a compressor, an electric generator or a propeller.
