(contracted; show full)Invincible''s had two paired sets of Parsons turbines housed in separate engine-rooms. Each set consisted of a high-pressure ahead and astern turbine driving an outboard shaft, and a low-pressure ahead and astern turbine driving an inner shaft. A cruising turbine was also coupled to each inner shaft, although these were not used often and were eventually disconnected. Each shaft drove a propeller {{convert|11|ft|m}} in diameter. The turbines were designed to produce a total of {{convert|41000|shp
|-2}}, but reached nearly {{convert|47000|shp|lk=in|abbr=on}} during trials in 1908. Designed speed was {{convert|25|kn|km/h|01}}, but all three bettered {{convert|26|kn|km/h|01}} during trials.<ref>Roberts, pp. 76, 80</ref> {{HMS|Indomitable|1907|2}} maintained an average speed of {{convert|25.3|kn|km/h|01}} for three days during a passage of the [[Atlantic Ocean|North Atlantic]] in August 1908.<ref>Roberts, p. 75</ref>

The steam plant consisted of 31 [[Yarrow Shipbuilders|Yarrow]] (''Invincible'' and ''Inflexible'') or [[Babcock and Wilcox]] (''Indomitable'') [[water-tube boiler|large-tube boiler]]s, arranged in four boiler rooms.<ref>Roberts, pp. 70–75</ref> Maximum bunkerage was approximately {{convert|3000|LT|MT|-1}} of coal, with an additional {{convert|725|LT|MT}} of [[fuel oil]] to be sprayed on the coal to increase its burn rate.<ref>Roberts, p. 76</ref> At full fuel capacity, the ships could steam for {{convert|3090|nmi|km}} at a speed of {{convert|10|kn|km/h}}.<ref name=c24>Gardiner and Gray, p. 24</ref>
