- TheSpiceIsLife 10y agoWhat is a fusion-heated gas turbines. Combined-cycle gas turbines work by burning gas to spin a turbine and using the waste heat to create steam. Where does the fusion heat come in to that cycle?
- hx87 10y agoGas turbines don't need to burn anything to work--any sufficiently high temperature source of heat can be used. Fusion can be the source of that heat.
