Ingenuus R&D: Lab 002

[Remnant]

Things don't die down around here, huh. McCool just recently put out the announcement that we'll be building a vessel around the core, giving it more of a purpose than having it merely sit around this station all day long. My respect for his decisions merely get bigger and bigger as the days ago on honestly. He sure knows what he is talking about. None of that government crap about waiting for licenses or anything, I think I did something right when I decided to stay with Finn and not move on.

At any rate, looks like I have another project to get to work on.. I cannot understand hull structures in the slightest, however the engines, now that's something that I'm quite intrigued with.

Well, I'm pretty versed in the mechanics of the engines, however quite frankly, dumping half of that stuff out the window is the best idea. We don't need a H-Fuel system. We have a core which outputs insane amounts of electrical energy. The obvious answer here is to modify an engine to run under the power put out. A self-sustaining ship so to say.

Now this is indeed a thing. Electric engines exist, however after a mere glance over the schematics for the vessel which is to be built, they are not going to cut it. They're too small.

I've dedicated the past month and a half focusing on just this matter, creating an engine which can take a large input from the core which will be mounted near the back, and turn it into thrust. We have a few options in terms of this. Admittedly, I had to call in a favor from Snow. Really, I was stumped for quite a while, however we worked things out eventually. The prototype seems to react quite well, although we have not been able to test the thing at full thrust to see if it still runs without going into an overload. We attempted that, however the thrust threatened to tear the fixture from the wall and out of the station. Didn't want to punch a hole the station.

Using a lot of credits, nano-capacitors, and superconductors the final product was born. I'll explain that shortly. Enclosed below is a visual of the outer casing of the drives. Of course these will be in the engine tubes, right along with the connectors to the core. This is merely a computer simulation to what I saw in person about.. three hours ago.

Outer Image - Engine Prototype

What you're seeing is only half of the story. Most of the workings is inside the tubes, however that is the end physical product which I'd like shoved into the new vessel which we're working on.

How the darn thing works in particular. That's where things get complicated.

We have an energy source, which an output which generates thrust is required. The answer? Zero-Point conversions. The core puts out varying frequencies, fields, as well as the pure energy which is routed through the conduits. Alright, what do we do from there. The answer, is to create something I like to call a nucleation site. This is basically a source of the combined concentrations between each of the fields it puts out, as well as a chunk of the output per second that the thing creates.

Starting half - Internal Engine Prototype

This is our packet which we'll be outputting through the device to create the thrust we require. This 'packet' then quickly travels into the Separator and Particle Stream Distributor. This component serves two major functions. First, it is used to partition the stream of electromagnetism (contained) and manage the energy which is given by the source. This redirects each of the streams into their respective containment cells further separating each of the powers gathered in the single place. At the same time, the Stream Distributor does.. well, just what the name suggests. It distributes each of these newly contained packets each into the Helical stream. The Helical stream takes these newly received packets in a certain order delivered by the distributor. Sure, there is always room for error, especially on how fast the thing works, however that really don't matter. The system is robust enough to take a few hundred slip-ups a second. Granted if the entire thing goes unstable, that's when issues begin to pop up.

Compressed, and put into order. The Helical stream pushes everything that it's gathered (obviously a stream at this point) into a Torque Field Injector.

Ending half - Internal Engine Prototype

This component acts on both the Torquing Ejector Stream, and the Primary Linear Stream. Using powerful magnetic arrays, both of these devices force the stream we received from the Helical compressor, with a stream of constant energy from the core. Once combined at something called the element point, the combination of radial energy in conjunction with a high gravitational density produces a mini 'gravity well' which exerts a large positive or negative force on the ship, allowing for high positive or negative accelerators.

Now this thing isn't light speed mind you, since the gravity wells created by the rotational energy of the combined forces only can push so much. It's a strong force, don't get me wrong. Very strong. Moving the thing isn't any problem at all. Something I hope McCool will appreciate, and integrate into the system. I don't want these prototypes to go to waste after all.

I need to take a rest.. I'm exhausted.
