An aeolipile produces torque from steam jets exiting the turbine.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent sources (HandWiki, archania.org, Omaha Maker Group PDF, enginediy.com, Britannica) confirm the physics of the aeolipile's torque generation via steam jets, consistent with Newton's third law. 'Turbine' terminology is used loosely but matches common usage. [tier=bronze indep_score=0.3 clusters=4 claim_tier=everyday]
