Parsons marine turbine, 19th century. Animated illustration of a section through a low-pressure Parsons marine turbine. Turbines are rotary mechanical devices that are powered by a fluid flow, converting energy into useful work. This one is from Parsons, a company founded in 1889 by British engineer Charles Algernon Parsons (1854-1931) to build his steam turbine invention. Artwork from 'Chaudieres et Machines a Vapeur' (1911) by French civil engineer Max de Nansouty (1854-1913), part of the 'Les merveilles de la science' series of 1867-1891 by Louis Figuier. | |
