Air-fuel mixture ignites
The gas turbine compresses air and mixes it with fuel that is then burned at extremely high temperatures, creating a hot gas.
Hot gas spins turbine blades
The hot air-and-fuel mixture moves through blades in the turbine, causing them to spin quickly.
Turbine rotation powers the generator
The spinning turbine is connected to the rod in a generator that turns a large magnet surrounded by coils of copper wire.
