I think we should put more research into ways of transforming thermal energy to electrical energy, since almost all of our generators run on thermal energy. Steam turbines can only get up to 45% efficiency when transforming thermal energy. Imagine if we could get 90%, it would not only give us way more energy, but it would also make nuclear fusion feasible since it usually doesn’t get enough of the power to have a surplus.

Dr.B should never go back to a French diner LOL. At least that was not R-51 at the diner instead of Dr.B! 🥖 🥐 🍷

I have to admit that this video was funny I just can’t believe that he got away with getting up on the front stage. I’m sure he will pay dearly for that, I don’t expect Dr Billings to let him off the hook that easily. 😝😂
