I wonder if they had an idea of turbo but, yes, it may look like that
There was another one.

The Germans had some ideas too

Early turbines not only looked like lighthouses their output was in candlepower

Ah, I remember those ! A German girlfriend many years ago used to have a similar one on the dining table at Christmas, or on special occasions.

I dont know how long they have been making them but looking at it it is actually a turbine, some genius obviously didnt know what he had invented.

Kerze Karussell. Grandma always had it out every christmas. Fun to watch, I have built a couple over the years to entertain the kids.
Also good as a pick-up line, "Hey baby, I got the kerze, you wanna ride the karussell?"
