    Back when electric cars were uncool, BMW tried adding a little bit of steam to their cars:

    Anything to avoid giving up the toxic unreliable rube-goldbergian fossil-fueled mess, anything but the beautiful simplicity of electricity.

    I know it’s a comic but I’m tired of this. The high heat capacity and abundance of water make it excellent for energy transfer. But it’s not the source of energy. The source is what distinguishes different types of generators, not the engineering logistics of transfer.

    You can try supercritical CO2 now if you don’t like water.

      But supercritical CO2 is just CO2 you tricked into acting kinda like water sometimes

    I am late to the party. What’s wrong with boiling water? That said, my favourite power plants don’t do it: photovoltaic, wind power and hydropower (though wet).

      Boil water to rurn turbine is most energy generate. Wind is spin “turbine”, hydro is spin turbine. Only photo is different.

        Turns out moving magnetic fields against each other is damn efficient and hard to beat.
