Ugga is confused. Ugga needs help. Why basically only turbines?
* Nuclear power. Turbines.
* Water power (waterfall, dams and so on). Turbines.
* Wind power. Turbine (This one i accept).
* Wave power. Turbines.
* Coal power. Turbines.
The only one i can think of that doesnt use turbines is solar power. Have we not in our 250+ years of harnessing energy come up with a way of getting said power without using turbines except for solar power? Or is it just that, its our most effective way?
How do we extract energy from our fusion trial chambers? Is it just the heat being funneled to a watertank with a turbine?
RTGs in satellites uses thermocouple. Im guessing solar works in a similar way?

AC electricity is a sine wave. That comes from moving a magnetic field in a circle. The easiest way to do that is a turbine. It’s direct generation.
Solar modules generate DC electricity. They use electronics to match the AC sine wave of the grid.
Turbines are the simplest way to generate electricity that plays nicely with the infrastructure and appliances we all have.
