Geothermal Power

Almost every settlement in the kingdom uses Hydro-tech to power their services. Bacroyce is one of the exceptions to that statement. They are the only settlement that has managed to harness geothermal power. It is quite a basic system, and in theory is much like the hydro-tech.
There are two plants; one to the NE and one to the NW of the town. Both of the sources for the power are two hot springs.

Manufacturing

The turbine is made of stainless steel, which is produced in Bacroyce's famous blast furnace. The local blacksmith fashions the turbines.
Access & Availability
Bacroyce is the only one who uses it because they are the only town with access to the hot springs of Arburg.
Complexity
The systems in Bacroyce run similarly to the image above. Water is pumped into a cool flash tank on the surface. This warm water comes from a fast-flowing hot spring. This hot water, when met with the cold tank, produces steam, due to the sudden temperature difference. This steam turns a turbine, the water that condenses and cools on the other side of the turbine flows down into a pipe that leads underground back into the original spring. The turbine is connected to a series of wooden gears outside, which lead to various homes and buildings.
