I love how all generators are are basically just different ways to make water really angry and shove it through a turbine
Not all generators. All generators do produce electricity by converting mechanical energy into electrical because it's the only way we know how to get electrical energy consistently with exception of solar energy probably, but how you get that mechanical energy: by flowing water, tidal change, steam, combustion, etc., doesn't matter that much.
With nuclear reactor the core produces heat specifically, and the best way to convert this heat into mechanical energy (and further electrical) is through boiling of water, hence why nuclear reactor is just a steam engine on steroids.
Nuclear is one helluva way to boil water.
Humans discovering the secrets of the universe to try to find the most efficient way to boil water:

@@dranoelarios4788 KABOOM

I call BS!
That's it? That's nuclear power?
That's just a fancy steam engine!!!
Almost all major power generation system (coal/gas/oil/nuclear) are just "boil water to spin some fans around"
Always has been. I am not joking or making a meme. It's a steam engine. Straight up. You have discovered the truth.
Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the secret to technological progress and dominance has been *boiling water* .
When we sustain a constant nuclear fusion reaction, we will use it to *boil water* .
Wait, it's all steam engines?
Always has been🔫
Basically most forms of electricity generation is spinning a turbine with magnets to induce a current. Turns out it's really hard to convert energy from different forms efficiently, and despite all the wasted energy spinning turbines is still one of the best. Off the top of my head the only electricity generation that isn't via turbine is solar panels, but IDK how they work.
@@Krossfyrebasically solar panels use semiconductors to convert sunlight into electricity. This is possible because of photovoltaic effects which I don’t know how that works specifically, but just know that somehow sunlight can make semiconductors lower their electrical resistance and generate electricty
This. THIS is how I want my college lectures to be structured. EVERY. ONE. OF. THEM.
Real talk, I've done a few things like this when I was teaching. My students loved me for it.
I wish I could do it for all my lessons, but it's much harder than is reasonable. They don't teach animation as part of a degree in education. And there's just so many other things that require a teacher's attention. Haha bittersweet times!
It's really low-level. Don't go that way, dude. Read books.
@@SU76Myou are the exact same teacher as the one in Ferris Bueller’s Day Out
@@SU76MYou can read books but it is well known that not everyone has the same learning capabilities, if it is that easy then schools wouldve been bankrupt if everyone can learn easily from just reading, after all you need someone to explain to you but yet the quality of education still is shit in comparison to high tier universities because public teaching is not consistent in comparison to private ones.
@@SU76MWhat did you mean by "low-level"? You know that some people can't read right? They might have some called dyslexia or something similar.

Can you build a Nuclear Reactor based on this video? Or even lets say this style? It's a neat summary of the concept but won't get the job done properly.
@@ScienceDrummer can you build a nuclear reactor from highschool education of a nuclear reactor???
Yea that's what I thought.

no shit this made me understand nuclear reactors better than any fancy diagram
they are the worlds fanciest and most dangerous steam engine
@@MM126.90 But it's very efficient. And much less dangerous to health and ecology than burning a shitton of coal (see Germany)
how exactly are nuclear reactors dangerous? ofc ppl always bring up radiation but you get a higher dose of radiation by eating a banana than living by a nuclear reactor your entire life
@@teyuface6034 The Chernobyl site is perfectly stable and horses, foxes among other animals even live there. In Fukushima there were around three thousand deaths by the tsunami, and one death because of the power plant itself.

This is how zoomers / gen alpha will learn shit in university lmao
zoomers are already in or past university my guy
Zoomer here, in uni, not so cool
@@kyrtap7197the youngers are still around high school age. Tail end is in middle school I think. Oldest Gen Alpha are in middle school, and I'd say this humor leans a little closer to alpha than zoomers
@@amog8202 Yeah I agree, I'm about to advance to grade 2 in middle school (Junior High-school I guess), I was born in eh.. 2010.
Now do a *Nuclear Meltdown.*

as someone who likes nuclear reactors thank you
How did that acctually make sense
Wait a minute... so it's all just heating water?
Always has been.

@@Cappuccino_Rabbitdon’t shoot
This is the peak of learning
The point of language is communication and sharing of knowledge
I like this makes it a extremely easy to digest
This has to be the most brain rotten way to describe how a nuclear power plant works
the best part is, it works
As an nuclear engineer, this is 100% correct
Other than the control rods coming all the way out.
i feel like i can operate nuclear power plant after this
never thought i would learn something on a meme channel
FINALLY A GOOD CLASS!!! My 0.4 seconds of attention span will love this.
This is the best description of it ever. (Just wish there was more Minecraft in it).
If I make a minecraft nuclear reactor I'm gonna have a command blocks spam chickens, and controls rods be TNT that detonate every so often
These meme template will ended in lesson in meme culture ngl
This is what's known as the boiling water reactor, probably the simplest one out there.
Science videos as memes. Nature is healing, and I am in heaven.
Engineers and physicists in the 30s:
"This chain reaction is very violent. It could produce a shitload of heat."
"What's that good for... Oh I know! How about we control it carefully, and then power a steam engine with it?"
"Holy shit, you're a genius. Look! [calculates on chalkboard] the energy is so and so many times higher than coal!"
"Brooooo we gonna be filthy rich!"
"Yes, but wait till you hear what the defense ministry said about the reactor byproducts!"
This is how I, the millenial, imagine Gen Z are optimally learning
I like how this is meant to be a joke but it's surprisingly accurate
Thank you for finally putting it in terms I can understand
Thats it? This is the "Nuclear Power"? This is just boiling water!
Thank you, it was extremely helpful for my science fair project.
Thanks for the tutorial. Now I off to making one for my school project.
Very nice video in SENTRY style!
Wait until the reactor is overheated and you know what happen next
This is actually amazing
I love these idiot proof science explanation powerpoints, keep em coming!
Nuclear reactors(including Fusion ones) in space uses semiconductors(not unlike Solar panels did) as water boiler substitutes to converts nuclear energy into electricity
You are describing RTGs which are a type of nuclear battery, not reactors. They dont have control rods or a boiler or a turbine. They use the Seebeck effect to convert a temperature difference, which is created between a decaying (not chain reacting) radioisotope and radiative cooling fins, into a voltage.
Besides the isotopes and the electrical output, they have very little in common with nuclear reactors
@@engineer0239
By the way, their efficiency is lower than that of a steam turbine.
hey alexa real, I appreciate your very very original vids
Love it
Ok, so I think we may have a new trend. Gen alpha ways to explain things.
Perfect use of Memes
The best explanation ever
This is actually really good what
Haven't seen this channel on my feed in while but I guess bro's hopping on this trend now
Make more about this
Yay it's beautiful Video :>
please do particle accelerator next, i need it for my basement
Explained very simplified, but well. The title of the video should be "How a nuclear power plant works"
what a good video to put it in my project.
we passing the class presentation with this one 🔥🔥🔥
these are so good
This is more complicated to me than a normal explanation lol
If uni lectures were like this I would be acing my courses
Thanks
This definitely does help, coming from someone with adhd, but in reality I hope to god people don’t actually learn this way in like schools and stuff
Insanely beautiful
I may show this in my Physics class
Title should be “How to boil water in a funny way”
"Good. I know how a nuclear reactor works. Now I don't need you."
Awesome, thx. I got exam tomorrow and this helped me a lot
Also the reactor in Chernobyl:KABOOOOOM
We should have more videos like this
Лол, да, люди до сих пор используют вращение турбин для ввработки энергии. Все способы, за исключением солнечных панелей, сводятся к вращению турбины. Будь то пар или вода.
Cool, now do all the 3 types of geothermal power plants and how they work.
I love this one, so accurate HAHHA😂
first time actually understanding how it works
You just explain thermodynamic 🤯🤯🤯🤯🙏🙏🙏🐸
This is very accurate video.
people arguing about which energy source is the best
(all of them includes making water spin a thing)
its all just boiling water
0:07 the most accurate depiction of a chain reaction I've seen in a while.
this is GENIUS
nice content sir
Makes sense! Now we can all go make one!
In this generation, this kind of material making analogies using memes and incorporating memes into education without deviating from what is being taught should be used and is underrated. In my opinion a teacher relating their material with something their students enjoy is godlike education.
U should re-create this with an RBMK nuclear plant
@tfolsenuclear should definitely react to that
I want to have such classes all over my school and uni
So the reactor core is really hot. By removing the rods, you risk the core exploding, but the constant cycle of water cools it down. However, the water heats up so it filters into a room that cools it down with a ton of fans and is then filtered back into the core. The core’s heat is then distributed to houses as energy?
Did I get that correct?
You got one part wrong.
The fans don't cool the water.The water heats up into steam and filters into the room with the fans because the fans are turbines. The steam turns the fans, just like a steam train boils water to make itself move. After turning the fans, it goes back to be cycled in.
What is distributed to houses is the electricity created from turning the fans, not the heat.
You got the rest of it correct. The control rods are made of lead (IIRC) and, of course, lead stops radiation. If you remove them, the nuclear fuel rods will start decaying their radiation and, because there's so many nuclear fuel rods so close together, the radiation hits the other rods' atoms which cause them to split, and so on and so forth (which point 0:08 explains PERFECTLY, one "Minecraft" Mob hitting the others makes them react the same). That creates all the heat that boils the water. The water turns the fans. The fans create electricity, which powers your home.
@@TurtleShroom3the control rods are made of boron.
also, after spinning the fans (turbine), the steam is then cooled down in the condenser by another closed circuit of water (usually water from a lake, river, and/or cooling towers), and condensed back into water that is then pumped back to the reactor.
@@TurtleShroom3 I see. Thanks!
you dont risk the core exploding by removing control rods.
@@blueskiestechofficialdepends on how radioactive you want to feel today
excellent. it's much easier to understand it when in terms of amogus and helicopter helicopter.
I like how it all come down to just boiling water
Thats genious
this helped with science class no cap
Nuclear reactors also work very well when you cut off the water cooling. Trust me, it works, the plant will be able to complete a 30 year power plan in 20 minutes.
From the looks of the control rods, even with your water cooling, that's already happened.
Profile pic checks out lol
ME student here, for a detailed explanation:
the blue amogus is the water, by being sent to the reactor(boiler in regular plants), the water is heated up by the "fuel rods", basically uranium stacked in a form of rod, which makes it nuclear. the reason why we use uranium is because it can get very very hot, and can be used for a very very long time, as compared to using regular coal or other fuel. The water turns into superheated steam and is sent to the turbine, where a giant ass turbine fan is then pushed by the steam, generating electricity. After the steam is done pushing, the remaining steam is sent to the condenser(heat rejected) where the steam gets recycled back into water so it can be heated up again. There's actually a lot more parts and processes, but that's the gist of the meme.
I understood this more before watching, I think my brain died a little in the process
This is a delectable instruction video
Memes are the future of education😂
This! This is how! How is this? This? This... this. How?
I understood this better than anything
masterpiece
Imagine if a teacher is explaining it and then opens up this video ☠
I would love to taking your lecture and spending my entire break joining your research if you are my college professor 😂😂😂
