The Hydrogen Engine consumes .72 liters of hydrogen for every Wh it produces, while O2/H2 Generators produce 3.6 liters of hydrogen for every Wh it consumes. This gives the Hydrogen Engine an efficiency of 80%. In other words, if you have a closed circuit of hydrogen engines and O2/H2 generators, you will spend 1 out of every 5 liters of hydrogen on power generation.

Overview

The Hydrogen Engine is a block used to generate power by consuming Hydrogen. It isn't very useful as a primary power source, as most of its power output would be required to operate sufficient O2/H2_Generators to keep it fueled. Instead, it functions best as an intermittent low-MW power source used along with external hydrogen storage.

Usage

The engine has an internal hydrogen tank that is only refilled while the engine is actively running.

Indicator

Efficiency

The Hydrogen Engine consumes .72 liters of hydrogen for every Wh it produces, while O2/H2 Generators produce 3.6 liters of hydrogen for every Wh it consumes. This gives the Hydrogen Engine an efficiency of 80%. In other words, if you have a closed circuit of hydrogen engines and O2/H2 generators, you will spend 1 out of every 5 liters of hydrogen on power generation.
