During my Sophomore HS year, my Science Project blew up 3 times, none intentional. Once at school during initial class demonstration (more of a bad leak), twice at home after “enhancements” for regional and state competition.
Had the 2nd home explosion happened at school, it might have tuned out differently. It embedded a Lexan Disk 8” diameter into a cinderblock wall of the basement. That might have ended badly in a room full of kids.
Among Lessons Learned, Pounds per Square inch become much more significant when moving up from a 2.5” turbine to an 8”.

I’m guessing it could be used to run the desalinization plants? I did a paper way back in grade school. Was about the proposed facilities that would take cold water from the depths of the ocean, pump them to the warmer surface waters, and then gather the condensation (fresh water). I don’t know if they every built any or not.
