*The Fractionator is unique in that the amount of Deuterium produced is a ''percentage'' of the Hydrogen input. This means that the rate of Deuterium conversion is directly proportional to the conveyor belt's speed (1% of belt speed), how saturated the Hydrogen input and outputs are, and how high the Hydrogen input is stacked. | *The Fractionator is unique in that the amount of Deuterium produced is a ''percentage'' of the Hydrogen input.

* It is useful to build Fractionators in a conveyor loop, with one entry point for Hydrogen. This allows cycling of Hydrogen already on the belt for further conversion to Deuterium, requiring only the replacement of Hydrogen that was converted. However, limiting the loop size or replenishing hydrogen in between is crucial since every converted hydrogen will lower the efficiency of each following Fractionator in line. | * It is useful to build Fractionators in a conveyor loop, with one entry point for Hydrogen.

* This equation gives the expected total production of a 100 Fractionator setup on a Stack-1 Conveyor Belt Mk.III loop, starting at 100% saturation as <code>30 * 1 * (100% - (0.99 ^ 100) = 19.019 Deuterium/second</code>, or a system conversion rate of 63.4%. In comparison, a loop of 6 Fractionators will operate at 94,14% conversion efficiency. | * This equation gives the expected total production of a 100 Fractionator setup on a Stack-1 Conveyor Belt Mk.III loop, starting at 100% saturation as <code>30 * 1 * (100% - (0.99 ^ 100) = 19.019 Deuterium/second</code>, or a system conversion rate of 63.4%.
