Steam Generator
Our Earths core is composed mainly of hot molten rocks called magma or lava if already reach the surface. Such objects that comes out in a volcanic eruption is one good example of lava. The modern steam generator use this hot molten rocks in order to produce electricity. The main component used in generating power in steam generator is 100 percent water. The water is being heated constantly and transforming the water into high pressure steam. This very high pressure steam is used to run a huge steam turbine to transforms the energy from the steam into mechanical energy and finally into electrical energy. After the lava heated the water, it will eventually loses its heat energy, and it will be pushes back to the earths core to be reheated again. The process in continuous.
In the diagram above, the red hot molten materials are pump to the surface and heat the water inside the generator to produce high pressure steam. The high pressure steam runs the steam turbine and produce power which is distributed to the transmission lines. After the red hot molten materials losses its heat energy, it becomes blue cooled and it is push below the Earths core to be reheated again and can used again.
