To generate electricity with fuel instead, see the [[Kit (Gas Fuel Generator)|Gas Fuel Generator]]. Alternatively, the heat generated by the H2 Combustor may be used with a [[Kit (Stirling Engine)|Stirling Engine]] to generate power at a much lower efficiency. | To generate electricity with fuel instead, see the [[Kit (Gas Fuel Generator)|Gas Fuel Generator]].

Alternatively, the outputs may be air-cooled using radiators on cooler planets or in a vacuum. |
