The document outlines a hierarchy of different turbine types including water turbines, steam turbines, gas turbines, and wind turbines. Water turbines are further broken down into impulse turbines like the Pelton wheel and reaction turbines such as the Francis and Kaplan. Steam turbines include extraction and back-pressure turbines. Gas turbines consist of jet engines, turboprop engines, and amateur and aeroderivative types. Wind turbines are classified as horizontal axis or vertical axis designs.
