Just what is an "emissive turbine"?

You ether force some fluid into a turbine to get a circular motion or 
use a circular motion to pump some fluid through the turbine, usualy at 
great speed or persure.

NO "beleivable" spaceship EVER use a turbine for anything else than push 
propergols into it rocket engines. Those turbines are usualy NOT visible 
except in a closeup of the area behind the rockets. And, those looks 
just like your regular turbine. Just take a look at a turbo charger for 
a good example.

And no, SF movies spaceships are absolutely not beleivable except some 
from Babylon 5. The Furyes fighters are the most beleivable space 
fighters ever in any movie. Ther maneuvering is physicaly correct.
