Pssh, you guys are still on gravity-fusion? My ship has magnetically-bottled antihydrogen, which is carefully fed into a specialized reaction vessel that annihilates it with ordinary hydrogen to produce unbelievable amounts of heat...
...which is then used to boil water and force the steam through a turbine.
I invented a new power generation method!
Amazing, is it actually new, or is it steam again
... it's steam again.
It's like how evolution's perfect form is a crab. Energy's perfect form is spicy water bois
Do solar panels operate in this way?
I don't know why we don't do this with internal combustion engines (Gasoline or Diesel) all that heat generated by the motor, wasted, it could be used to generate more electricity...
With the take off of co2 turbines how is this still a meme?
most FTL in scifi surpassed the use of fusion to power thier ships and only used a supplemental power, they went with anti-matter, and vacumn energy
You'd think with all the mice and rats used for labratory testing, we'd have power generated by rodents running on wheels.
Gawd I love this meme.
ok i can see the steam turbine powering onboard electrical but explain me how the fuck you're doing space propulsion and/or warp travel with steam
unless you mean literally just blasting steam like a propellant, Wall-E With the Fire Extinguisher style. in which case you're gonna run outta steam pretty fast
2026 we put a helicopter on mars and still no power crystals
So we figured out the most efficient way to generate electricity 100 years ago, and you guys just whinge and want something new.
