  @noyoushutthefuckupdad @coolboymew I've never understood people like that. Even if you actually intricately understand exactly how it functions and how to recreate it, you only know how to recreate it with modern tools, technology, and resources. They literally do not have the tools required to create the materials required to create the tools you require to make it, they are so far removed from modern technology that you basically need to design every single aspect of the process from scratch. Even if you know exactly how to create something modern, it's not going to help much when they don't even have the technology required to reliably create steel. Go back far enough, and they might not even be able to use iron. I doubt even the greatest firearms engineers on the planet could build a semi automatic pistol or rifle from scratch if they had to figure out how to mine, smelt, and forge every single piece from scratch, using no modern tools or materials whatsoever, unless they also happened to have an autistic savant level fascination with the complete history of metalworking throughout the ages; but some random fag thinks he can just go back in time and tell bronze age peasants "uhh in my time we have these things called guns" and have them recreate them.
  
  That's assuming they even believe the random foreign intruder speaking in a strange tongue, babbling about heretical magics while insisting he is the greatest mind the kingdom has ever seen.

  @EdBoatConnoisseur @noyoushutthefuckupdad @coolboymew I've seen a fair number of people make their own turbine generators or whatever and I'm always impressed at how poor the efficiency is
  
  I mean we're talking about 3D printed stuff for the most part but still you'd think it would be better than the ~5% or so they usually manage

  @EdBoatConnoisseur @coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad
  
  Boil water *in a container*, generate pressure, then use that pressure to push on stuff. This is instead of using muscles to push on things.
  
  You can heat air instead of boiling water. Then you get a Sterling engine. But it is still pressure pushing on things.
  
  Photoelectric solar and thermocouple devices are the oddballs, using semiconductor physics to make voltage and thus current directly. But... voltage acts a lot like pressure.
  
  /serious post
  
  So: boil water, make things spin. Weeee!

  @teknomunk @noyoushutthefuckupdad @PapaPole @EdBoatConnoisseur @Paultron @deprecated_ii @coolboymew You know that for almost 50 years most wiring was completely uninsulated. When I bought my house I had to spend weeks crawling around in the dark removing and replacing bare wire wrapped around porcelain knobs.

  Thankfully, there is plenty of wire that can be stripped from the walls of abandoned buildings until we get new production up. Honestly, drawing the wire is less concerning to me than how to insulate it after it has been drawn down to size. I've looked into drawing but not the insulation, and I suspect that paper will not work for the task.

  1. Isekai Yakkyoku
    
    World-class medical researcher Kanji Yakutani lost his little sister to a tumor years ago due to ineffective treatment. To honor her legacy, he has dedicated his research to developing new medications for such conditions. But as fate would have it, he overworks himself and passes away at the age of 31, only to be given a second chance at life in another world. When he wakes up, Kanji finds himself in the body of a 10-year-old boy named Falma de Médicis, the son of an esteemed family of medical practitioners in the Sain Fleuve Empire. Bearing the mark of a deity's divine blessing, Falma is capable of performing a unique divine art, allowing him to create and reduce any substance with the knowledge of its chemical properties. After reading through some pharmacology books, Falma realizes that this world is operating on similar medical practices as in ancient times. He also learns that medicine is an exclusive privilege to the nobility, depriving commoners of proper medical care. Using the knowledge from his past life and the divine abilities granted to him, Falma resolves to make medicine available to those who need it—irrespective of class. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
