The rotor element of the turbine section consists essentially of a shaft and a wheel. The turbine wheel is a dynamically balanced unit consisting of blades attached to a rotating disk. The disk, in turn, is attached to the main power-transmitting shaft of the engine. … The turbine disk is referred to as such without blades. When the turbine blades are installed, the disk then becomes the turbine wheel. The disk acts as an anchoring component for the turbine blades. 2, record 1, English, - turbine%20disc

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Based on the gas turbine engine developed in 1938 in England, a micro-turbine utilizes very high internal combustion pressures to rotate a power output shaft. Rotation and torque of a power output shaft is transferred, in the case of a micro-turbine generator, to an alternating current electrical generator. 3, record 7, English, - microturbine
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The electricity created by the high-speed generator is converted into useful voltage and frequency by a power converter that is also part of the system.
