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?

RTG uses semiconductors, they produce somewhere in the region of 100w to 5000w and they only have an efficiency in the sub 10% range
Turbines vs pistons I think is just a maintenance thing, since pistons require sealing where the power is and the pots wear over time ruining the tight tolerances that create the efficiency, where as turbines only require bearing sealing at the ends and the part with the tolerances isn’t contacting
There are others, like hydrogen or solar
