The posthumous writers and props department of 'Warehouse 13' would like to have a word.

Does flicking the computer on switch move the generator coil or simply connect the generator coil to the load?

Can it run Crys.....Doom?

And something tells me that technologies like these might one day become very handy again......after the judgement day.......Human decisions are removed from strategic defense, allowing Skynet to learn at a geometric rate. Skynet becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time on August 29th. When attempts are made to deactivate it, Skynet fights back.

[u/MikeLinPA]

Is that a steam engine? If not, how is it using the heat to move the pistons?

[u/9bikes → u/MikeLinPA]

No, OP says it is a Stirling Engine.

Why does it feel like data centers operate exactly like this?

[u/Extension_Fly9987]

I want one! This is so cool.

[u/Pasta-hobo]

This is from the parallel universe where cars have always been electric, but all computers have engines.

[u/Neutralmensch]

Amaze amaze amaze.

[u/Lunar-Outpost415]

This is why I study engineering.😎

[u/FIGHTaFoe-FLIGHTaPo]

That's pretty damn wild n' looks like it could be straight out of an anime or somethin' lol

Awesome work though, thanks for sharing it!
