Water Dynamo
A fuel cell using the hydrogen+oxygen=water chemical reaction. Conversion of the gases to water produces direct current electricity, with the water produced being collected in a secondary chamber for conversion back into constituent gases via external electrolysis. Waste heat is captured thermoelectrically as an additional power supply. Highly durable and environment-friendly, but eventual failure through heat loss and filament decay, plus a comparatively low power output, means such cells are used only in portable electronic devices and for backup power.
Nuclear Pods
These pods hold fissionable fuel within dense radiation shielding. As advanced fission techniques allow energy generation from both the original fuel and the primary waste material, this fuel is greatly reduced in radioactivity. The pods then contain the final waste product for shipment and disposal in solar cores.
Fusion Injectors
Fusion Injectors are designed to hold the heavy water required for the fusion process. When required, it then injects the heavy water into the plasma core at the centre of the power source.
AM Magcells
The Magcell is a storage container and injector that stores charged matter and antimatter inside separate electro-magnetic fields. The magcell injects fuel through injector fields directly into the reactor core to ignite a fusion reaction.
Baakgah
An Aeran fuel cell material that releases hydrogen in an easily controlled manner. Highly efficient energy generation used in all applications barring spaceflight.
Vibronium
An Aeran substance that provides an essentially unlimited supply of small amounts of power. Extensively used in small starship components and personal equipment.
Biogenerators
Rlaan technology evolved along the bio-energy path. Living organisms generate additional energy surplus to life requirements. A biogenerator captures and stores this energy, providing Rlaan cities with a clean, green source of energy.
Biocell
Rlaan technology evolved along the bio-energy path. Living organisms provide additional energy surplus to life requirements. A biocell is capable of storing this energy when captured, and provides sufficient energy to power most Rlaan needs.
CCBB
An incredibly large, incredibly complex, and incredibly unstable hydrocarbon, CCBB is used in applications where fusion reactors are too large, antimatter cells are too expensive, and fission reactors are impractical. This tends to limit its use to power-tools and personal transport units.
