Airbreathing Airplane Engines (oxygen fueled)

Description
This block is an engine designed with the intent of making airplanes and other similar builds easier to refuel in survival mode. The thing that sets this block apart is the fact that it uses oxygen to generate energy. This means that it can be used to produce endless energy by hooking up to an air vent and providing an initial amount of power from another source to get the air vent going. Once it does, the engine will not die as long as no parts are damaged. Even when "empty," any connected air vents are able to keep up just enough to maintain the vehicle in a powered on state, allowing gyroscopes to operate and help bring the plane to a safe landing. Since the engines are able to be fed by a practically infinite source of fuel, they require more components than the standard hydrogen engine to help balance things out.

Hey, hi, i like the idea
its been hours i try to add a second fuel to it, do you have any suggestions ?

could i use this on my base?

As a "starting" energy source it is a great solution, however generating 20 MW is a bit of an exaggeration compared to hydrogen engines. At least get these engines to be used for takeoff without causing a shift from hydrogen to oxygen engines

However, I appreciate it for a great mod.

Oh and crasy idea here but maybe make an air vent that looks like a small turbine for the air intake and o2 compression that way it would look nicer in front of the plane instead of the vents, or one that fits in front of the engine as a grill ( i really enjoy exposing the moving parts of the engine in my ships for the looks ,with an air vent "grill" in front of it would look dope ! Lol ( air vent same and shape as engine one block long) just a noob shooting ideas here =D

Hi would you be able to make a tiered version, twice as powerful with twice or 3 times the oxygen need to balance it out a bit? Awesome work by the way love your mod!

anyway to make them not as loud

Curiosity. Will this mod ever become more than this? I'd really like to see it expand into some new grounds

Thanks for the input

мощности конечно маловато,и весит много,в отличии от уранового реактора.но учитывая то,что это вечный двигатель без дополнительных затрат,это многое ему прощает)))
