You actually dont need a steam turbine; thats just been the default way for a while. If you dont care as much about efficiency, you can use thermoelectric generators. If you do car about efficiency, you could use something like supercritical co2 thats a closed loop.
There were plans for a train. Problem is, other then the obvious, that you still need a lot of water for the steam turbine.
I think there’s a youtube video about it.
