  • The most productive use for this concept aside from powering a small steam turbine is distilling otherwise non potable water which is the problem in so much of the world. Still seems we can all figure how to ak47s to places that are some how too remote to be able to afford simple systems to enhance the basic quality of folks lives. Darn shame.
