It 100% is steam power. It just using a more expensive and more efficient fuel source. This is how it was explained in the submarine service when describing how it provides power and propulsion, “Hot rock make steam, steam make go.”
@@spaceguy564boggles my mind how hydro power is still the most inefficient and least used power source. Between the sun wind and ocean waves we should have energy coming out our asses
The water that is cooled by the tower doesn't actually go into the reactor. It is pumped to a tank to surround a convoluted pipe that has hot steam in it so the steam inside the pipe system can condense to liquid water which is actually trapped inside the reactor and doesn't evaporate or anything. They basically use water to cool more water inside pipes
the evaporation process absorbs a large amount of heat energy to turn the super hot water into hot water vapor. this means that the hot water vapor will not be 100C, because 100C of water has less energy than 100C of hot vapor of the same amount. basically in the process of hot water vaporizing, it converted some heat energy to phase change into gas form, essentially making the discharge less harmful to any passerby (unless you're inside the cooling tower)
The housing itself could be re-fitted to generate enough energy without the uranium because of the resonance and size of the cavity as well as tall enough and heavy enough on ita own to provide energy. There's no turbine in the cooling tower, which proves that the engineers are just wasting their time and half-assed to emplore you to believe there isn't enough to go around.
One could imagine the heated water being used to heat homes and provide them hot water, at least for moderately to densely populated regions. But the infrastructure would need to be put in place.
If it’s not a big enough body of water you do not want to discharge hot water back into it because it will harm the environment and aquatic life edit power plants that are built around the oceans and the Great Lakes discharge back into the source because it will not have a inverse effect on the body of water
I had no idea... I thought it was dangerous. It's literally just water vaper
Bought and paid by CIA lol
Yup. Its completely clean.
Its 2 am and it's perfect time to learn how cooling towers work!
12am for me 😂
@@hotdogy123451130pm for me as I walk around work at night
Haha
4am for me 😂
Damnit, idk how this always happens
@@theofficialgreenkane9645 k
Always wondered how the cloud machine worked!
Funny how nuclear energy is just a fancy version of steam power lol, i feel cheated!

the majority of power generation is just variations on boiling water to make steam to spin a turbine.
@@rpungello i think hydro power is the only one to spin turbines with cold water

People are so dramatic about these
People are mostly idiots, so... 😛
Ah so it is an evaporative cooler
started youtube with watching wildnout . now im here 4 hrs later . i need to sleep now it's 3am
Thanks you saved my grades
My submarine didn’t have a cooling tower. If you’re already using the river, why not skip the cooling tower?
Efficiency probably
If it is not a big enough body of water you do not want to discharge hot water into it because it is not good for the environment and aquatic life
Not enough demand for free boiled fish meals down the river I guess. 🥸
Σκεφτόμουν ότι κλείστηκα στο σπίτι με το μωρό και δεν κάνω τίποτα ουσιώδες πλέον πέρα απ το μεγάλωμα του...ΚΟΙΤΑ ΟΜΩΣ ΤΙ ΓΝΩΣΕΙΣ ΑΠΕΚΤΗΣΑ ΞΑΦΝΙΚΆ 😮😂
I love nuclear power
Thank you
I used to think they were chimneys
As usual the comment section didn't disappoint. 😂
Oh, you were serious. That's even funnier. 😂😂
why not just just put more turbines in the tower to capture the rising energy🤔
edit: the energy from mass amouts of steam rising
It will impede with the working of the system
I’ve ever understood why they dont put the hot water back through the system rather than heating from cold again

At work bored, may as well learn!
Just boiling the planet

2024 here?
hell yeah

So radioactive cannot go through pipe? Interesting.
Edit : maybe they use lead pipe
The water that is heated is sealed in pipes, which this water cools
👳♀️
Seems like it is a waste of energy. Why not harvest the heat?
One could imagine the heated water being used to heat homes and provide them hot water, at least for moderately to densely populated regions. But the infrastructure would need to be put in place.
can't the hot water be used in some better more efficient way ???
I mean probably, but it'll just rain back down into the same body of water again so it doesn't really matter.
Why don't they put the hot water from the condenser back into the river?
the fish gonna die

Came here after watching gio_masters jump into one 💀
Haha same
Same 😂
When I was 5 I called the cloud makers 💀💀💀
Its not indian, it doesnt have a turban
Ooh 😲
steam turban! only in Indian plants.
They pump moisture into the atmosphere one component of weather manufacturing
Seems very inefficient.
How so? Evaporative cooling is dirt cheap, you just need to power the pumps
wait untill you find out hundreds of meters deep coal mining sites just for half of this things power
is that water radioactive??'
no
The cloud is steam from the cooling water from the nearby river. Its only use was for indirectly cooling down the engines.
Not at all
No .. the radio active water in the turbines doesn't get mixed with cooling water.
it's a second circuit of water, so no.
