It’s amazing how many generators basically boil down to the same ‘boring’ process of ‘boil water. spin turbine. repeat.’

- Iulioh 2y agoI mean, that's just because water is a simple medium we can just literally trow out in the environment after use, using basically anything else to spin said turbines would require a closed system and cooling. Gravity batteries could be a thing but pumped water is the best version of that system, in this case we don't boil the water tho
- lazide 2y agoWater has really awesome phase change properties and is nearly ideal for this kind of situation too. Only thing better is potentially super critical co2.
