Why do human electricity generation so focused on efficently boiling water and turning a turbine with it. do we have other ways of generating electricity every power plant i know (coal gas nuclear) does the turbine method ? And why is boiling water and turning a turbine with it so great ?
In: Physics
Making steam is the most efficient way to convert heat to electrical energy, all you need is a fuel and reliable source of water and you can make electricity 24/7 anywhere.
Steam generation and use through a turbine also create very little wear and tear on equipment so the equipment lasts for decades making it an ideal long term solution.
