What is a "boiler"?

A boiler is a large container used to heat water or produce steam. It is commonly used in buildings for heating, in power plants to generate electricity, in factories to power machinery, and in trains to drive the engine. The boiler works by burning fuel, such as gas or coal, or using electricity to heat the water inside. As the water heats up, it turns into steam, which can then be used to create energy, provide warmth, or power the train's locomotive. Boilers are an important part of many industries and provide a reliable way to produce heat and power.

What is a "dam"?

A dam is a large structure built to control or stop the flow of water, usually across a river or stream. It is designed to hold back water, creating a storage area for various purposes, such as providing water, generating electricity, or preventing floods. Dams are often made of concrete, earth, or rock and can vary in size from small ones used for farming to large ones that create lakes or power entire regions. They play an important role in managing water and protecting areas from flooding.
