Description

The combustion centrifuge is a gas powered version of the Centrifuge. 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.

Ejecting ore from the Combustion Centrifuge while it is at high RPMs will result in additional stress build up. If turned off, while not stressed, the machine will automatically start to brake, and reduce RPMs in a controlled manner.

The Combustion Centrifuge has a socket for an 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.

Important

Can be boosted by Nitrous Oxide and changing fuel mixture, but it's dangerous due to centrifuge blows up at around 20MPa(20000 pressure)

Throttle

Every tick up to 0.01 moles of gas will be pulled in to the machine from the input pipe network. The Throttle parameter linearly controls how much gas to pull in, inputMoles = 0.01*Throttle/100. The Throttle value is rounded to the nearest multiple of 10 when set over the Data Network.

Combustion Limiter

On each tick the Combustion Centrifuge will manually combust up to 75% of the fuel mixture in its internal atmosphere. This happens on the remaining fuel after natural combustion takes place as described in Volatiles. The portion of fuel manually combusted each tick is clamp((Limiter/10)^2 * 0.0075, 0.001, 1). The Combustion Limiter value is rounded to the nearest multiple of 10 when set over the Data Network.

Data Network Properties

These are all Data Network properties of this device.

Data Parameters

These are all parameters that can be written with a Logic Writer, Batch Writer, or Integrated Circuit (IC10).

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description
Open	Boolean	1 if device is open, otherwise 0
Lock	Boolean	1 if device is locked, otherwise 0, can be set in most devices and prevents the user from access the values
