RE: Why do people keep calling it TURBIN as in trashbin instead of BINE?
It's a quirk of the English/american language. Most Americans outside of your part of the country pronounce it Turbin, whether it's for full scale engines or models. In England they will, of course, say Turbine with the long I sound. Every one of them will fanatically tell you this is the correct way! Same as "again" They say "agayn", we say "agehn".
But then we have to change a few things to prove different from our long estranged cousins.....

Notice the "tur-bin" pronouciation is first. Indicating that it is the most commonly used.

Compare impulse turbine, reaction turbine.
Origin:

Well how about, for starters, for the first picture my dictionary spells it TURBAN not TURBIN!
Wash vs Worsh (Pennsylvania)
Car vs Caa (Boston)
Data vs dater (English)
You get the idea. I pronounce it tur-bin while some I know pronounce it tur-bine. Tomato, toMAHto!
Who cares.
Oh here's some more for you to ponder...
Creek vs crick
Caulk vs cock

Please American freinds, don't you kill each others. I may have the solution to your problem.Wikipedia:"The word "turbine" was coined in 1822 by the French mining engineer Claude Burdin from the Latin turbo, or vortex, in a memoir, "Des turbines hydrauliques ou machines rotatoires Ã* grande vitesse", which he submitted to the Académie royale des sciences in Paris.[1] Benoit Fourneyron, a former student of Claude Burdin, built the first practical water turbine."In French, the word "turbine" is also pronounced "turbin". So maybe did you take on, in 1822, our way to pronounce the word turbine.

I say Tomato, you say Tom-are-toe lol!
This is what dialect is all about, for instance, us Brits say Aluminium like so, while our American cousins remove the I in Nium. We could go on about this all day!
And y'all know I'm correct as we wrote the Oxford dictionary

Actually the above picture looks like an ENGINE to me, the turbine is invisible inside the ENGINE. (unless you look into the tailpipe !!)

When Jefferson bought Louisiana he really only wanted the rest of the territory but the French wanted to give away the Cajuns too. But it has never really been part of the US, kind of like French Quebec not being part of Canada.
