~~Nuclear~~ power is just ~~boiling~~ water
Solar?
It can be done with boiling water, but it's not very efficient.
I bet there is a way more efficient way to harness it that we are just missing too lol
You mean nuclear? Maybe if we could use the tech with fast neutrons from fission experiments in the rods we use to slow down the chain reaction?
I'm kinda surprised that nobody has harnessed our magnetic field to build a power source. Or at least tried. I have no idea how it could work, and I may be dumb as shit for this. But I feel like it could be possible if we had another 500 years left of society.
God damnit Jinyang!

Errich, is the refrigerator running? This is Mike Hunt, and he's a rich.
Eric Bachman, this is your mother. You are not my son.

There are some fusion designs that use direct energy conversion.
Some work went into fission designs as well.
I heard that somewhere in the US there were parts of a nuclear power plant being delivered by steam train. So that’s basically one steam engine supplying another! (^^,)
I can’t seem to find an article about it anywhere, so it might be an urban legend :(
Given that the first commercial nuclear power plants in the US were coming online in the late 1950s, that's entirely possible. Steam trains were well on their way out by then, but there were still a few hauling freight around.
Fun adjacent fact: even when the British Empire had moved off of wind sails and into coal, those coal ships didn't have the range to possibly cover the entire Empire. Coal stations were setup around the world, and the coal had to be transported by sail. The previous technology helps get the next generation technology going.
Nuclear power is the refining distilling and enriching of uranium into unstable isotopes and higher elements, boiling water is one small step in converting nuclear energy into electrical energy.
But it’s one of the most important steps because it’s where the actual electricity comes from.
And then there are thermonuclear generators
Sheng Wang is hilarious! Seriously, if you like comedy then watch his stuff
Both Jimmy O. Yang and Sheng Wang are hilarious, but you should recognize that they are two different people.
