That's a lot of water! That place is huge!

The ways we have come up with to turn a turbine. Even future SciFi ideas of energy are still about heating water into steam to spin a turbine.

"That's a great point! The principle of harnessing energy by heating water into steam to spin a turbine has been a cornerstone of power generation for centuries. From ancient Greek Aeolipile to modern nuclear power plants, the concept has evolved but remained remarkably consistent. Even futuristic ideas like advanced nuclear power, solar thermal, and orbital solar power satellites rely on this fundamental principle. It's a testament to the ingenuity of our ancestors and the enduring power of thermodynamics! What's your take on the most exciting emerging tech that could potentially disrupt this paradigm?"

@@Kashmir_explorer786 I think it’s amazing, nuclear fusion is my favourite, the idea of making something hotter than the sun, and again it’s all designed to heat up water into steam to spin a turbine. The principle of the turbine is so simple, magnets and copper wire and you’re all set. And as you said it hasn’t changed since Faraday first discovered it. All that’s changed over the decades are the sizes of the turbines, and the methods used to turn them. A bit odd to think where would humanity be if we never discovered this principle to create electricity.

the power of water....think about it for a second.....hurricanes/typhoons, tornadoes, even earthquakes have nothing on the power of water ** floods, tsunamis, *** it's crazy at the raw power of water!

"Mind-blowing, isn't it? Water is often underestimated, but it's indeed one of the most powerful forces on the planet! From the sheer destruction caused by floods and tsunamis to the gradual, relentless carving of canyons and mountains, water's impact is awe-inspiring. And let's not forget its role in shaping our climate, influencing weather patterns, and sustaining life on Earth. The power of water is a reminder of nature's majesty and our own vulnerability. What's your favorite example of water's incredible power?"
