A combustible fuel mix should be supplied to the gas input, and waste gasses should be vented from the output. The machine's RPM's must be controlled via the throttle and combustion limiter levers. If the Combustion Centrifuge gains, or looses, RPMs too fast it will experience stress, and eventually grind to a halt. Higher RPMs directly result in faster processing speeds. |
The throttle lever controls the amount of fuel being pulled into the machine, increasing the temperature inside the engine, and leading to an increase in RPM. The limiter lever influences the speed of combustion, and how much uncombusted gas is in the exhaust. | The throttle lever controls the amount of fuel being pulled into the machine, increasing the temperature inside the engine, and leading to an increase in RPM.

The Combustion Centrifuge has a socket for an [[Integrated Circuit (IC10)|IC10 chip]], similar to the [[Atmospherics]] machine. It comes with two device ports, d0 and d1, for connecting to other devices. To change or set a device, use a screwdriver to cycle through devices found on the machine's data network. | The Combustion Centrifuge has a socket for an [[Integrated Circuit (IC10)|IC10 chip]], similar to the [[Atmospherics]] machine.

The Throttle parameter linearly controls how much gas to pull in, <code>inputMoles = 0.01*Throttle/10</code>. The Throttle value is rounded to the nearest multiple of 10 when set over the Data Network. |
