minus-squaretrollercoaster@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·5 days agoCongratulations, you just invented a new method of generating electricity… Oh wait, it’s steam again.
minus-squarezaphod@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 days agoI don’t think you want to run your processors so hot that you get steam. You’d need some kind of heat exchanger/heat pump in between.

100c is doable
