Using electricity to generate more electricity. Problem, physics?

I don't get it.

BOYL + URAN = HEAT as in it eventually reaches 9724 degrees

Still, powdertoy is a physics simulator, so obviously it cannot possibly have realistic physics.

There is no detector wall in real life, and steam turbines are too inefficient for this to work.

This only applies in powder toy.

Wertyu you forget that energy is transfered by heat the hotter those wires got the more energy they would lose which would eventually run out.

Actually, if you had a generator set up so half of it's output went to a motor which powered the generator, you'd have a device which would create infinite electricity as long as it ran.

I think this guy is on to something

And you turbine is 100% efficient, and it is the only thing that really breaks the laws of physics- just not the way you meant it to.

You haven't really trolled physics. If you used part of the electricity to make the water- that would troll physics. However, since there is an essentially infinite supply of water, the is an equally large resevoir of energy. Physics wins! (Sorry for being a nerd :/)
