Cool! Pretty darn near perpetual energy.

@thomabb, we never really left. Most powerplants, navy ships, and subs are steam powered.

Sounds cool, but I think that safety might be an issue in the event of an accident. Years ago I went to corporate fire training, and they talked about using sand to quench a magnesium fire.

‪Magnesium's reaction to water on vehicle fire‬‏ - YouTube

Probably not a show stopper, but something to think about
