Can very hot & very cold air just be quickly smash together to produce electricity?

Can it do it other than using something that spins rapidly?
Can that be another way to produce electricity too?

    Maybe. I know that when water evaporates it cools the air around it. So there must be some kind of energy happening - and maybe that energy could be harnessed and tured into electricity.

    Cheers and happy weekend!

    They do. It's called a thunderstorm.

    Then very hot + very cold = lightning, (lightning makes thunder sound after) Then lightning can be like as electricity that powers things? This post was edited by DannyPetti at November 25, 2024 12:30 PM MST

    While it sounds good, we currently do not have the technology to harness the power of lightning.  It travels too quickly (3,700 mps), and is too hot (hotter than the surface of the sun).

    Then that seem like other way around out there of different energy producing form (!?)
