@DR18111983 Fuck the money! Think about the future! Without energy, there wont be any man living on this planet. And without man there wont be money!

@nitronovice More so for the lower pressure, but it will be traveling very quickly and it will be under enough pressure that it won't change states. All of New York City is on the same steam system, and that stuff travels probably 200 or so miles in a grid formation all over the city.

Hahaha go to 3:50 and listen to the way he says 'water trapped'...theirs more but this stands outs

would be better to just drill deeper and use a transfer medium like molten salt in a closed loop to reclaim heat from the magma heat source directly and then transfer the heat energy to stealium or distilled water in a secondary closed loop that powers a steam turbine and generator. using water directly over complicates and is inefficient.

fett nice

The thing is, the crust can be 100 miles thick.

@Polydynamix Cool! Thanks for the info

i may be missing something here, but wouldn't it be more efficient if the turbine/ generator were closer to the crystallizers so that the steam has less distance to travel, and thus less condensation within the pipes?

thanks a lot !!!! u helped a lot!
