The Fuel Cell is a part introduced in version 1.0. The Fuel Cell generates electricity by burning oxygen and fuel, similar to the process that some liquid fuel engines use to generate electricity. While the fuel cell is a simple way to generate electricity, it's consumption of valuable fuel makes it a poor choice for long-duration flights that are dependent on specific fuel levels. The fuel cell is best used for short flights that require a recharge of energy about halfway through the flight when other means of electricity generation are not available.
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. | ” |
