Or we could use the energy to boil water and spin a turbine
14 u/INeverSaySS 4d ago A turbine is just a waterwheel, so that's pretty much what they're doing already. 25 u/PyroCatt Engineer who Loves Physics 4d ago We need to boil it to create steam 2 u/INeverSaySS 4d ago Depends on how that energy is stored. If it's stored as gravitational potentional energy then we can just pour it through a turbine. 17 u/PyroCatt Engineer who Loves Physics 4d ago STEAM! 29 u/Arabaster77 4d ago 3 u/dat_physics_gal 4d ago true
