AzulCrescentlil tidbit about Solar
Not a funni comic and a bit nerdy, but i wanted to write about something that i find cool lol.
madison taylor@AzulCrescent also, as I understand it, natural gas turbines are a liiiiiiittle different than the others? as in, they burn the gas directly in the turbine instead of heating water; this saves an awful lot on capital expenditures, and has helped make them very popular.
(still a turbine though so the general point applies either way)
oh and then there's thermoelectrics ... but like outside of deep space probes noooobody uses those
ENG. Tretron 🐲@tomoyo yes but you have more advanced gas turbine plants that are called a "combined cycle gas turbine plant" that uses the exhaust of the gas turbine to heat water in a boiler to drive an steam turbine. Those are really fascinating.
Personally I do prefer spinning metal, if has an advantage when it comes to grid stability...but i stop before i go full infodump into power systems and energy productions
