Chuvak, Da ti zhe russjiy?
Thanks, friends) Please, look at this save 2392280.
this has a great meltdown to it when you try and do it!
@987tails Yup! Water can be extracted from comets, asteroids, moons, etc.
Manakia are you saying we can get water from asteroids, moons etc? so if we ever suffer some kind of water shortages we can follow up from other planets?
meltdown if you close thingg enough
Actually this is pretty accurate. Granted whilst water vapor is not the most energetic monopropellant it can be harvested en masse from asteroids, moons, and other celestial bodies. So this is probably the kind of engine that a space miner vessel would use in the near future. However, most designs would utilize 1 reactor and simply pipe monopropellant around it several times.
It's not as simple. Stirling engines are great, but not always. According to Wikipedia, Stirling engines achieve efficiencies of up to 50%, compared to 40% for regular turbines. But they tend to be larger and more expensive, and are not possible to replicate in TPT.
