The Fuel Cell is a part introduced in version 1.0 which converts liquid fuel and oxidizer into electric charge.
Usage
The fuel cell is well suited for several roles. Among these are:
- Power production for long distance missions were solar panels no longer become efficient
- Providing power to drilling platforms carrying an ISRU converter (as power production is effectively limit less)
- A source of temporary high out put power production (such as for extreme range communications)
Product description
“ | A small fuel cell that allows fuel and oxidizer to be converted into energy. Handy for those places where a solar panel will not do. Also handy for re-heating snacks. | ” |
