Heats water, makes steam, spins a turbine. Just like fission.

the current ones dont,
the plans all have them heating up an array of liquid filled coils around the hot plasma to generate steam which will roatate a nearby turbine

So what’s the difference from using this method to make steam vs using a wood fire or coal? Like does higher heat temperature increase the steam velocity or pressure. Is there a method of calculating this energy transfer? And why just steam turbines? These techniques over over a millennia old even the combustion engine is like a 120 years old I thought we were innovating?

How would you do it?

you're coming at it from the wrong angle - the better angle is "how in the fuck is it possible that a steam turbine can be >75% efficient at turning heat into power?"

there is unironically nothing better - we're talking approaching the theoretical limits of a Carnot engine with a glorified kettle spinning a fan. steam turbines are just too fucking good.

Solar photovoltaics use a different method of energy capture but it is fake and gay unlike nuclear on /sci/

See, retards will say we need nuclear energy

some things cannot be improved
electricity generation from steam will never be beaten
screencap this post and show it to your descendents in 20,000 years and i will still be correct
i will be correct forever, in fact, as by the time we give up on steam, it will only be because we nuked ourselves out of existence or have a fucking dyson swarm
and i bet you some business will still use fucking dyson swarm solar beams to heat a tower of water to spin a turbine because it was cheap
