Steam turbines and diesel engines were used to produce electricity, which was produced using combustion. The turbines exploited the product of external combustion: they were powered by steam, produced by boilers through the combustion of coal, which was burned at more than 400 degrees. Diesel engines, on the other hand, used internal combustion.
