IDC how cheap it currently is there current design is amazingly inefficient. Steam turbines were implemented in the 1800's. I haven't figured it out yet, but there has to be a better way to harness the energy of a reaction, than just capturing the heat which is the waste of the reaction. Meanwhile the internal combustion engine utilizes the reaction and diffuses the heat.

There's supercritical CO2, but it has its own problems.

Now it's just a matter of connecting that floor plate to some sort of mechanism to convert that vertical motion into whatever you need and some minor technicalities related to repeating the cycle.

Steam-fags got literally centuries to improve this this technology, they failed. Now solar is cheaper and steam age is finally over.
