    aah, but it didn’t say steam, it said boiling water.

    smaller gas generators based on internal combustion engines don’t boil water though, right?

      gas generators based on internal combustion

      they heat air, afaik. hot gas expands -> mechanical movement moves magnets -> electromagnetism -> electric power.
