Overview
The Hydrogen Engine is a block used to generate power by consuming Hydrogen.
At its peak capacity of 5 MW5,000,000 W
500,000 W
Usage
Connect to a conveyor system that has Hydrogen Tanks (with Hydrogen gas) or O2/H2 Generators to refuel.
Because the engine uses the conveyor system to fill itself with hydrogen, a minimal level of power is required for the engine to start if it is empty. The internal tank of the engine is only refilled while the engine is actively running, and its contents cannot be siphoned by other blocks.
The engine prioritizes the recharging of batteries over filling other power demands, incurring the 20% energy loss as the batteries immediately use that energy to run any other powered blocks.
Indicator
Only the large-grid version has any indicator lights: Recessed into the electrical box next to its control panel, and above the cylinder heads in the center. Green is functional, yellow when out of hydrogen, and red when turned off.
Efficiency
The Hydrogen Engine consumes .72 liters of hydrogen for every watt-hour it produces, while the O2/H2 Generator produces 3.6 liters of hydrogen for every watt-hour 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.
