Huygens' assistant Denis Papin (1648–c.1712) realizes steam is a better way to drive a cylinder and piston. 1698: Thomas Savery (c.1650–1715) develops a steam-powered water pump called the Miner's Friend. It's a simple reciprocating steam engine (or beam engine) for pumping water from mines.

Due to these reasons, these turbines use reciprocating engines as prime movers in large power plants. The steam turbines work on the basic principle of thermodynamics. Therefore, when the steam expands, its temperature drops. ... Steam turbine has higher efficiency (up to 40-60%) than steam engine because of the continuous expansion of …

Most U.S. and world electricity generation is from electric power plants that use a turbine to drive electricity generators. In a turbine generator, a moving fluid—water, steam, combustion gases, or air—pushes a series of blades mounted on a rotor shaft. The force of the fluid on the blades spins (rotates) the rotor shaft of a generator.
