@Ribbons0121R1121 ok you can try this modified mod if you want :

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2862780461

idk i will have a look asap...

can you make a light generator that makes free 5 watts of power for wall lights

i've created this mod when Hydrogen engin was not existed but it's true LENR fusion process is supposed to work with heavy water...

So a Quieter Hydrogen Engine?

I'll just treat those like hydrogen fuel ce--
o_o

brb, making a space prius.

I've made a new mod from this one working with H2 have a try with, tell me if something wrong..

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1482361023

I will try to make one during this week end...

Tanya Sapien, i was asking if the same mod could be uploaded using hydrogen instead rather than changing the current one. Im not asking him to modify it.

As for low power RTG, there is a plutonium based one thats used in a few exploration satellites already retired. There isnt yet a mod that provides power based on how much uranium is in it that slowly drains over an extremely long time.

You guys seem to misunderstand me easily, i wasnt being negative about your mod, was just asking for one that uses hydrogen rather than ice, but thats alright i'll just ask someone else or make one myself.

Well i'm sorry but this mod was made on purpose though i could i won't modify it...

If you want a fusion reactor that uses hydrogen as a fuel, there's more than a few to choose from already on the workshop, and no I won't link you to them, find them yourself you lazy bastard.

Wolf, your mod's great and I enjoy using it for cheap low-power long-burn batteries for relay beacons and mineral scanners and the like, don't let this guy's winge behavior get to you, he's literally incapable of taking a hint, hence why I blocked him months ago.

Chronos, I know we've had our history together and I hope that won't stain how you see the following words:

Sod off, you picky wanker.

For that deuterium extractor:
We could say a dedicated micro reactor is running a centrifuge for extracting deuterium.
We could say that some form of radiation bombardment is being used to create the deuterium.

And that's just for the deuterium from the other mod, as for this one, the LENR which is the subject of this thread, I personally enjoy the concept of a very low power place-and-forget backup battery system. There are literally dozens of mods on the workshop, and equipment in the game itself (ion engines anyone?) that make some hardcore violations of physics, so why the hell are you giving this guy a hard time over something that has a great deal of practical uses while not doing anything game breaking or that pushes suspension of disbelief any further than things like nanobots and energy shields already have?

Thats not the case, http://generalfusion.com/ . Another mod lets you combine uranium with ice to form deuturium which is not realistic (uranium + water does not become hydrogen2). realistically you're taking 2 hydrogen atoms that have one neutron and proton each and combining them to form a helium atom. This is very different, pns and Fleischmann did not make cold fusion, heres a note from a university you should know https://undsci.berkeley.edu/article/0_0_0/cold_fusion_12 .

Perhaps i'll just ask another modder instead.
General fusion has a working fusion reactor ready for a drop in replacement in the power grid and can actually be deployed close to locations that need the most power. I dont know if they updated their site but i watched a tour of their facility and they had a few working prototypes with one already practically producing energy but to their estimate only 20-30% efficiency but even that is still a lot of energy. You should consider asking them.

Cold fusion came from Pons and Fleischmann two scientists who claimed they got fusion energy from water with electrolyzation u can't get more energy from hydrogen gas than what u needed to create that hydrogen gas first....

Nice but realistically you only need hydrogen. There are actual fusion reactors that use hydrogen instead. Could you create one that uses hydrogen rather than Ice? From an engineering perspective, when people say they make power from water its usually a scam :P .

Ok Green/Red led should work now :)

I will try to solve the white glaw but Ice is treated like Uranium life time so 1000 Ice is equal to 1000 Uranium as LENR reactors power out is low it can stand for a long time before Ice is fuel out i don't think i can fix that..

oh so that's actually a bug with the mod itself? I sometimes have a graphical bug with the glow elements on various devices staying white so I didn't know if it was my computer or your mod causing it.

Given that the LENR's basically amount to RTG's with their low output and impossibly long burn time I'd say give them something special and spicy to set them apart. Like, I dunno, make the strips on them blue or something (if that's even an option. I've never gotten under the hood with SE so I don't know what it takes to do custom emissives)

And actually, on the note of impossibly long burn times...A fully filled LENR on my energy shielded dune buggy has an estimated life of 2 years. If I shut off the shields and life support, that climbs to 37 years.

Maybe a slight nerf on fuel efficiency is in order, otherwise one backpack full of ice and you're set for life.

Good to know have fun with :)

By the way when working the LENR reactor stays in white color status instead of green one i don't know if i should fix that or not in order to make a difference with others classic reactors feel free to let me know your mind...

Works fine.

I'll give it a test. Yeah, I was interested in this mod because I'm doing a hydrogen purist runthrough. I've got Hydrogen+, 3x Efficiency, and Hydrogen System installed, but I was looking for a less Rube Goldberg hydrogen reactor than Hydrogen System uses. Yours, assuming it works, will fill a nice niche as a reactor that burns raw ice instead of needing it processed into liquid hydrogen first. It'll be perfect for my prospecting vehicles.

Mod updated should work well now please tell me if not :)

It should work, i will check that in the next 24 hours...

is this mod still functional? two years since last update

Sure but it's not possible to change that it's the same as Ur consumption. Fuel instructuion is set as Ice instead of Ur, i would like this reactor use more Ice but have no clue to do so.

@Wolf4243
Thanks for the reply. In my opinion, the ice consumption rate should be fairly noticeable. It would force you to prioritize your time and get an effecient mining operation going as soon as possible. As it is now the consumption rate is so low it feels like free power.

Having a constant need for ice also allows solar panels to still be useful since running out of ice would be a real danger. Just my thoughts.

Well Ice is comsumed but at low rate as it was before for Ur ingots try to put only one ice use it to power an assembler or a refinery and you will see ice consumption. :)

It was the same as Ur before Ur new consumption and don't forget the output is very low only 0.6MW whereas 12 or 15 MW for Ur reactor.

Gonna have a look on this

My LENR isn't consuming any of its ice. Is anyone else having this problem? What's the consumption rate supposed to be?

Thx :-)

Woah just what I needed! Awesome.

Updated for increased output enery

U are welcome :)

Excellent. Thanks!

Sure :)

Yeah its basically a radioactive battery that uses heat and differing metals or something to produce small amounts of energy. So if you have a good coolant to power ratio, these things should basically last forever. Something like this would be good for remote outposts, satelites, probes, etc.

Hum i think RTG works with radioactive elements...

LENR refers to the phenomenon where anomalous amounts of heat are created when certain metals (e.g. nickel, palladium) absorb hydrogen or deuterium and an external stimulus such as heat or an electric current is applied. The reaction takes place at relatively low temperature and sometimes results in transmutation of elements as well as the production of heat. Either no strong radiation is produced or it is absorbed locally. The waste products are not radioactive.

Is this similar in concept to an RTG? Because I requested something like that ages ago and people kinda shrugged me off...
