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 Generator]s to keep it fueled. Instead, it functions best as an intermittent low-MW power source used with an additional external hydrogen tank.

Usage

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

Indicator

The colored indicators on the tank show at a glance the current hydrogen level inside the tank.

Game version: 1.107

	Hydrogen Tank is not stockpiling and can be drained. 0: H2 level < 25% 1: 25% <= H2 level < 50% 2: 50% <= H2 level < 75% 3: H2 level > 75% 4: Tank full.
	Hydrogen Tank is set to Stockpile. The tank will not release any hydrogen and will drain other tanks that are not stockpiling. 0: H2 level < 25% 1: 25% <= H2 level < 50% 2: 50% <= H2 level < 75% 3: H2 level > 75% 4: Tank full.
	Hydrogen Tank deactivated or unpowered.

Tips

• Using a Connector block, you can vent the hydrogen out of the tanks by switching it to Throw Out mode much the same way you can with oxygen tanks.

Known Issues

• Unlike cargo containers the actual cargo of the hydrogen tank does not in any way influence its mass. Therefore the large block tank will ALWAYS have a mass of 8.1 tons whether it's completely full of hydrogen or not.
