Geothermic Energy. How?

727 viewsOther

I found recently the existence of Geothermic Energy and i didn’t really understand It.

There are zones where the underground is so hot we can get energy (Electricity) from it. How?

I read that One of the first to do It was in Italy, in the 1904 or something, and i don’t understand how could they build something without…well die. If the heat is so High wouldnt people be hurt? How could they build something like that? I guess that now is more easy but at that time how was that even possible?

Lava is deep underground and very hot. If you put water near the hot lava, it turns into steam. If you pipe the hot steam into a turbine, you can make something spin. If you stick some magnets on a spinning thing and have them spin near coils of wire, you get electricity.
