Processing for #2 begins: February 11. As of March 2 (about 6 weeks total), awaiting results. If it's 6-8 weeks from processing time, I still have weeks to go.

When water heats up to steam, it has more pressure.This pressure is used to turn generators.hink of coal like wood. In a wood stove or furnace, wood is burned to produce heat.
