Vacuum flask and transformer: what they have in common
- Step 1. Vacuum flask — has part — Mirror. The silvering reflects heat radiation.
- Step 2. Mirror — is part of — Solar concentrator. Mirrors concentrate the light.
- Step 3. Solar concentrator — has part — Steam turbine. Heated steam turns a turbine.
- Step 4. Steam turbine — is part of — Nuclear power plant. Steam turns the turbines — as at a thermal station.
- Step 5. Nuclear power plant — has part — Transformer. Transformers step up the voltage so the plant's power can travel far.
