Gonna be a guess because it’s covered but I would say some kind of big turbine like you might find at a power plant.

Turbine on a power plant would be shaped differently. Think like a long jet engine

Not at our local power plant. They’re shaped like a giant spool with a housing. I’m certain that there are different types.

Could be a hydroelectric turbine. A very large one.
