Using radiation for energy
If an apparatus was constructed to direct a number of gamma radiation waves/particles towards a specific spot inside a tube filled with water (connected by correct means to a turbine to produce power through steam), How would the water behave?, Would it boil?, side affects to the water?, relevant information will be respected and investigated.

Re: Using radiation for energy
Hello there,
If you haven't already, I suggest that you post this question in the Physical Sciences forums--there are likely physicists there who can provide explanations and relevant information to your question! If you are considering doing a project centered around this idea, I would also provide some details in regards to your question, hypothesis, and the methods you are planning to use to test your hypothesis, and the experts there can give you their feedback as to whether those experiments are doable or may offer suggestions to make the project more feasible.
Sorry I couldn't help more. Good luck!
