ReplyDeleteGood Stuff
ReplyDeleteMaybe the key for making a machine which could lasts for thousands of years.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I can't help but point out that "the humidity that naturally rises from evaporating water" aka water vapor aka steam is one of the oldest means of driving engines ... ;)
ReplyDeleteFantastic.
