minus-squarebrown567@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up47·5 months agoThere’s a movie called Steamboy whose premise is the creation of a device that can store steam at nearly infinite pressure So with a device like that, you might not need coal for your flying machine =)
minus-squareAdrianTheFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·5 months agoI feel like storing steam at nearly infinite pressure is easier than getting steam to nearly infinite pressure
minus-squarebrown567@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up16·5 months agoThat’s actually covered in the movie as well! They needed to find special water to make infinitely-pressurizable steam =)
minus-squareabbotsbury@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·5 months agoI think It’s, like, a Bag of Holding, but for steam.
minus-squarefaintwhenfree@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 months agoAt that point just call it magic no? Magic that works in metal pipes and spheres.
minus-squarebrown567@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 months agoSeems sufficiently advanced enough 👍
minus-squareAtrichum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 months agoAh, I loved that movie but had forgotten the name.
minus-squarePhuntis@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·5 months agowhere do you think you get the steam from in the first place
minus-squarebrown567@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 months agoCoal, but the fantastical flying contraption in this thought exercise uses a container of pre-pressurized steam, so it wouldn’t “run out of coal” like the one in the post. It’d just run out of steam
