Fuel Cell Generator
# ‘Burn’ fuel in a special electrolyte to transfer and obtain energy at 400% fuel efficiency level
# Or release the energy stored in the electrolyte
- Operating Modes
৹ Mode 1: Input fuel, consume a small amount of EU to convert Discharged Electrolyte into the same amount of Charged Electrolyte
৹ Requires equal amounts of Catholyte and Anolyte to absorb the energy from the fuel
✔ Fuel efficiency is related to the Electrode Membrane used, higher efficiency membranes can convert more fuel energy
# Parallel = min(input electrolyte amount, amount of electrolyte convertible by current fuel)
# EU cost = 1EU × parallel
- Continuous operation efficiency decay (exclusive to Normal and above modes)
৹ Each time a recipe is run, the fuel efficiency will be multiplied by its decay multiplier based on the currently used Electrode Membrane
৹ When the machine is idle, inputting 600mB/tick of distilled water can restore efficiency by (15% of total loss)/tick
# Using an Ion Activity Sensor can monitor the current fuel efficiency (100% efficiency corresponds to a sensor value of 1.0)
৹ Mode 2: Energy Exchange, transfers the energy from Type A Charged Electrolyte to Type B Discharged Electrolyte
৹ Both input electrolytes require equal amounts of Catholyte and Anolyte
# The output is the result of the two electrolytes swapping their energy states
# Parallelism is only limited by the lowest amount of input fluid
# This process involves energy loss; the specific efficiency is determined by the recipe
৹ Mode 3: Power generation, convert Charged Electrolyte into 95% Discharged Electrolyte and release 100% of the energy
# Max parallel = 50, i.e. up to 1B Charged Electrolyte can be consumed per second
# Each operation outputs energy equal to the energy stored in the Charged Electrolyte
✘ In this mode, Energy Input Hatches cannot be installed
৹ All operating modes require input of Electrode Membranes to operate
৹ And the power generation mode can only use specific Electrode Membranes
(Normal) Fuel Cell Membrane Damage Chance on Discharge : 0.0035
The chance of the membrane material used being damaged upon discharging.
