Atoms: Vacuum Vapor Power Plant (1932)
This power plant was invented by George H. Gibson, and uses the difference in heat between steam and evaporating liquid water to drive the turbine. This same phenomenon drives steam engines and even the Happy Drinking Bird Toy.
Gift of the Cochrane Corporation.
