The new supercritical CO2 generators are pretty cool. Pretty much the same thing but no water!

Those systems are interesting, but also nightmares to build and maintain.
Supercritical co2 is a powerful solvent and can corrode most metals.this problem is worse when you increase the temperature.
Material scientists are working on it, but so far, the few test systems that have been built can’t quite live up to the hype.
