A compound turbine is a steam turbine in which there are two casings, a high- pressure casing and a low-pressure casing, operating in concert to extract work from a single source of steam.
Although this brought the propeller speeds down to an efficient range, turbine efficiency was greatly reduced, and early turbine ships had poor cruising ranges.
An early mechanical governors is a servomechanism that comprises a series of gears that use the turbine's speed to drive the flyball and turbine's power to drive the control mechanism.
A related development is the gas turbine locomotive in which the turbine drives the wheels without an intermediate electrical device, at the cost of mechanical complexity.
A solution that proved useful through most of the steam turbine propulsion era was the cruising turbine.
A Tesla turbine differs from a conventional turbine only in the mechanism used for transferring energy to the shaft.
A turbine is theoretically more reliable and easier to maintain than a piston engine, since it has a simpler construction with fewer moving parts but in practice turbine parts experience a higher wear rate due to their higher working speeds.
