The Powder Toy

I believe this is the first wind power plant on TPT.

    By using the wind from the fan, the URAN will heat up and the WATR will evaporate, turning the turbine (detector lol) and generating electricity.

    Definetly clever, but I wouldn't call it a hybrid wind/water plant, at least technically. However since we don't have moving solids (and most likely never will), then yea its the closest we have to a wind power plant.

    Something much closer to true wind power would be particles (dust, yeast, uranium, stickmen) being blown through a detector.

    I did try that, but the pressure it had to create was enormous, a model house behind the turbine blew up into dust instantly.... I had made the turbine out of METL... I could try again, I do it now.

    Here's the turbine

    Thanks!

    The uranium is pre heated, meaning the wind is for nothing. You should use wind to heat plutoium to melt to lava to heat the water, that way, the fan wall has a use.

    Oh, is it? Fixing now.

    Fixed.

    smjjames is right

    Can you make an on and off switch for the fan plz, and can you make a cooling tube for the uranium? ty.

    I can try...

    EDIT: Done, fan switch behind it, unsure if this is what you meant by 'cooling tube'. but whatever
