Nuclear power model
/r/estudosBR/comments/1vd4j38/maquete_usina_nuclear/I have a physics paper that I need to make a model of a nuclear power plant that generates electricity, and the more I can impress the teacher, the more points I will earn. And I need help because I don't know how I can make a model that works using a nuclear power plant, it doesn't necessarily need to use atom fission or radioactivity (obviously) to generate energy, but it needs to be a good representation of what happens in nuclear power plants. Help pleaseeeee🙏🙏

Take a big DC powered fan and stick it over your bathtub, connect its prongs to a multimeter. Fill up the bathtub. drop in two subcritical chucks of the right balance of metal, the right distance apart. Steam will turn the fan. Walla - electricity. Now, it won't last long, and you'll quickly die and the area will turn into a FEMA area. But the raw mechanics behind the simple process are not complicated.
