minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink45•4 months agoThere’s a movie called Steamboy whose premise is the creation of a device that can store steam at nearly infinite pressure So with a device like that, you might not need coal for your flying machine =)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish21•4 months agoI feel like storing steam at nearly infinite pressure is easier than getting steam to nearly infinite pressure

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•4 months agoThat’s actually covered in the movie as well! They needed to find special water to make infinitely-pressurizable steam =)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•4 months agoAh, I loved that movie but had forgotten the name.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•4 months agoCoal, but the fantastical flying contraption in this thought exercise uses a container of pre-pressurized steam, so it wouldn’t “run out of coal” like the one in the post. It’d just run out of steam

Seems sufficiently advanced enough 👍
