Ingenuus R&D: Lab 002

[Remnant]

McCool has the right idea, now that I look into it. His thought about keeping it suspended with no physical conductors touching it sounds actually quite good with keeping the darn thing stable. Efficient? Not so much. That's what is keeping me from merely accepting what we have now for practical use. No, we need to improve more first.

Attached is the image of what McCool has us running in now.

Arc reactions. That is what we have occurring right now. Even more inefficiency, the bane of my existence right now, as I expect it to be for quite a bit longer. Lets put things into perspective. Right now, we have a energy 'ball' so to say, generating energy with a currently unknown method. Gathering it and using it, is the difficulty which we are experiencing right now. Last entry about a month ago, I mentioned something about being too 'big', yes? It fell on me about two weeks ago. Why don't we look into nano-technology? The number one issue of that, is the proximity to the core would immediately short out whatever we put up there. We need to have something clever to actually direct the flow without ruining the bots we put out there.

The answer? The bots don't need to be computerized. Right now, the core puts out magnetic force as a side-effect from what is coming out of the darn thing right now. Granted this force is not extremely strong. Not even close to what we use to keep ships aligned inside of Trade Lanes currently, but it's enough. Barely, but we 'may' be able to use it to keep these bots sorta glued to the core.

The number one issue with that, is once we apply the bots, getting them off is going to be the difficult part. After all, it will have to be a very good conductor. Any sort of insulation will turn the thing to heat, and melt the bot within seconds. From there, directing the flow down to the sides or bottom, where we can radiate the energy in higher concentrations instead of having it freely like we have now would be a large step up. Efficiency would go through the roof compared to what we have now. Granted that still will be about 60% of what it 'can' be doing, it's much better than what we have right now.

We gave it a try in one of the smaller test environments we had running at the time, and it actually achieved a pretty interesting result. Perhaps we should give it a try on the larger thing, however I am a bit worried on how the bots will route the energy to the bottom focal point. We'll have to see.
