Good day,

I am proud to present the fruits of our work as Order Science Division. Here is what we have found by testing the Nomad Power Cell.

Code:

Nomad power cell

Nomad power cell is a relatively small nomad artefact, our two samples are identical, both weight 3.21 kg and are perfect spheres with the diametr of  0.5 metres.  It emits only some alpha rays, so in its dormant state, it is not really dangerous to any living thing as skin can stop the alpha particles. On the other hand, if you somehow display your organs without the protection of the skin, it can cause cancer. It seems to react to sunlight. It seems as though the infra-red spectrum of the light of the star and the solar radiation causes the Nomad power cell to activate. In its activated state, it emits a lot of energy and radiation. Some alpha rays, but mosty gamma and beta. So in its active state, it is higly dangerous. Even with the incredible amounts of energy it makes, it does not emit any abnormal heat. I cannot explain the reactions that are at place in the active Nomad power cell, however it seems to be working reliably without any power flucts or any other anomalies. In other words, it is a perfect generator of energy. It can make up to 5MJ of energy per second. That is a large number. The science division would still not risk running it longer than 1 hour though... As more test must be run before we can get any more information. Till we get them, all usage is higly advised to be at only at max 75% maximum power of the Nomad power cell.


Possible future usage:
If we can simulate the solar radiation and create a "false star" then I believe that with proper radiation shielding, we can use it as a power generator. That could work both on land to power up our stations and even emit a shield over them (the energy is enough to fire up a shield in an atmosphere) or it can be used to power up a ship. I would guess that about 3 of those generators could be enough to power up Battleship Thebes without a need of any aditional generators. While 1 Nomad power cell has got enough power to power the battleship, the Science Division is still not sure about the safety measures. Because of this, I would suggest putting 3 Nomad power cells there and alternate between them. Every generator will run for 1 hour. Then it will be dormant for 2 hours. The Science Division is sure that this usage will be completely safe and it can generate enough power for our experimental dreadnought to finaly fly. It would be needed, ofcourse, to do some structural changes to the ship to add rooms for the generator that would be properly shielded to stop the radiation from hitting the crew. Also, completely new electroinstalation would be needed. However, all those things would be minor, as Battleship Thebes would finaly be able to fly.

However, further tests need to come in place before any of this can be made real. We still understand very little and it would be unwise to use it before we are sure we know how to use it safely. It would be best to modify it as we modify other Nomad technology.

We will be sure to run more test soon in order to better understand the device and in order to find a way to modify it for our usage.
