Steam In Science Fiction

[ocalicreek]

Yes, steampunk seems to be a world of its own, kindof a retro future. But recently I had someone tell me what he did in the military - boil water. Granted, he said, he used nuclear fuel rods housed in a submarine to do it, but essentially he ran a very complex steam engine. Heat + water = steam to drive a turbine, generate electricity and turn a screw/prop.

If there ever was a steampunk inspired locomotive it would be the N&W's Jawn Henry. Google it.
