Hydrogen Fuel Rod

Hydrogen Fuel Rod

edit

End Product, Fuel

With a further development of cryo-technology, we can liquefy hydrogen to make fuel rod with higher energy. The higher the energy of the fuel rod, the more increase of the mecha fuel power.

Player Tips & Tricks

• The recipe requires 5 Hydrogen at 8 MJ each, while the finished product has 40 MJ. This means there is no gross energy gain when burning Hydrogen when burning in a Thermal Power Station but there will be a loss of 1 Titanium Ingot.
  • However a stack of Hydrogen Fuel Rods stack better (30 * 40 MJ = 1.2 GJ) as compared to a stack of Hydrogen (20 * 8 MJ = 0.16 GJ).
    • A full Storage Tank of Hydrogen has 80 GJ of energy (8 MJ * 10000 slots)
    • A full Storage Mk.II of Hydrogen Fuel Rods has 72 GJ of energy (40 MJ * 60 slots * 30 stack size)
  • Hydrogen Fuel Rods also have an added 100% Fuel Chamber Generation bonus from component Hydrogen.
  • As a result, Hydrogen Fuel Rods should typically be used to fuel the mech as needed, and raw Hydrogen used for Thermal Power Station power generation.
