Description

As the big brother of the Portable Generator the Gas Generator requires fuel and outputs crazy amounts of power if you don't throttle its gas input.

Notes

• Power generation (as well as heat generated) scales with the amount of fuel available in the input pipe, up to a limit defined by the mix of gases used. This is determined by the moles of gas available in the input, not the absolute pressure.
  • With a standard fuel mix (33/67 O/H2) can generate up to 14kW. With NOS fuel mix (50/50 N2O/H2) this rises to 98kW with a volume of 99kpa.
• Use a pressure regulator on the input is recommended. It should generally be set very low at first (potentially as low as as 0.1kpa, using a Labeller to enter decimal values), since it can be difficult to keep cool when run at full power.
• Recommended to connect to a Kit (Battery) and to automate it as backup power.
• Can be used in conjunction with a Electrolyzer to generate its fuel.
• The output is a gas mix of CO2, Pollutants, and tiny amounts of uncombusted fuel. It is not water, as would be implied by its compatibility with the Electrolyzer.
• Requires to be placed in an atmosphere to work. Minimum pressure of 20 kPA and temperature ranging between 278-328 degrees Kelvin (5-55 Celsius)
  • If the surrounding atmosphere is absent, of insufficient pressure, or outside of the necessary temperature range, the generator will run for one tick and then automatically turn itself off. Since it does still produce power during that tick, the generator can be used in a complete vacuum at approximately half the maximum power output (since approximately every other tick it is turned off), but without any need to temperature regulate the surroundings, by using logic chips or an IC10 to force it to turn on again any time it is off. A battery or other power storage system is required to ensure the logic circuitry remains powered even after the generator shuts itself off
• Due to the magnitude of power generated, especially when using NOS fuel, heavy power cables are functionally required. If using multiple generators and/or NOS fuel while outputting to batteries, it is recommended to place 1 or 2 Large Transformers between the generator(s) and the batteries to avoid burning out even heavy cable. Two large transformers set just below their maximum setting will prevent the batteries from drawing enough power from the generators to burn out the heavy cables.
• The generator has an internal volume of 10L.
