If we lived in a steampunk world where computers run on heat, wouldn't there be no limit to the programs you run? Your computer wouldn't overheat because the...

But it would probably only happen in extreme heat

Science is my 2nd favorite subject, my fav is ELA :)

it's difficult to like science when your teacher ~~is fatt~~ has an excess of triglyceride and other various nutrients

Honestly it can still overheat believe it or not! The computer would be over worked and somethings would melt if it got to hot. Therefore it wouldn't function. Making it run on heated water or "STEAM" would be better seeing that steam is a more reliable source than RAW heat

I know thats what I said

ackvonhuelio If we lived in a steampunk world

stuff that runs on steam

INTERNECION

Oh I thought you just meant RAW heat like just an ultra heater or something

infinite energy paradox, unlikely that could ever happen 100% of the energy produced or transferred of by your computer isn't all heat and on top of that it's impossible to dissipate that much heat from your computer that quickly without also using power to extract a lot of hot air to maintain a computers peak performance capability, most computers optimal performance happen in close to subzero temperatures because of ohms law of resistance and the less resistance you the better the energy transfer, which is why it's an interesting idea on sci-fi but not really feasible but pretty cool

INTERNECION

I am very sure every answer is basically it will overheat eventually. So that's just the tl;dr of it

ackvonhuelio

INTERNECION
not necessarily, you could keep transferring the thermal energy somewhere else in the infinitely large universe or better yet use the thermal energy to create steam in a separate container, powering the computer

INTERNECION

ok let me rephrase what I said.

It will over heat unless you transfer energy to something else

INTERNECION

Also what if we actually lived in a steampunk world? What it be low tech or high tech based on this futures standards.

Also also If we lived in a steampunk world I would definently create a mech just so i could walk in stores in bulky armor and get away with it.

If we lived in a steampunk world, my one goal would not be needed!

Xela WHY ARE YOU GENOCIDAL???
You people are very strange.

well uh... it be kinda hard to use because of the extreme heat right? Some important components might melt too. It would be really inefficient.

steam·punk

noun
noun: steam-punk
a genre of science fiction that has a historical setting and typically features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology.

a style of design and fashion that combines historical elements with anachronistic technological features inspired by science fiction.
"the essence of steampunk is homage to vintage fashion with a modern, sassy twist"

modern sassy twist is me

grin

basically saying, Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction that incorporates retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.
