C + O2 ---> Co2 gas and heat (combustion)
Heat of vaporization + water ---> steam under pressure
Expanding steam ---> kinetic energy of H2O molecules passing blades and moving them
blades turn hub, torque * angular speed is rotational mechanical energy
Moving coils in magnetic field --> electrical energy.
