cronus425 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Tried making a hydrogen generator based on the tutorials and the wiki, but it didn't seem self sustaining at all. So to test it I used a battery and put 300 kJ of energy into running the pumps and the separator, and sure enough only got about 100 kJ out. I must be doing something wrong right? Quote
alekthefirst Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 pump and electro. sep. should be connected directly to the outflow of the hydro. gen. the batbox/output should be placed after a 120v transformer on the line. Quote
cronus425 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Might have found the real problem. My separator can't produce hyrdogen fast enough to run the generator consistently. Everything I've seen suggests it should run constantly in the setup shown. Mine flashes and produces power for a fraction of a second at a time? Maybe this is killing my efficiency? When trying the setup shown it eventually stops running because the pump is not getting enough consistent power to run. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Edit: did another test with bottled hydrogen and breaking every step down. getting a bottle of hydrogen pumped and separated took about 1.5 MJ of energy. I got 600 kJ of energy out of the generator. I know I must be doing something severely wrong but I still cannot figure out what it is. Quote
alekthefirst Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I know I must be doing something severely wrong but I still cannot figure out what it is. neither can i. ok, so what version are you on? this was built on 1.1.0. maybe they've done something to it since i have not had time to test it on latest 1.1.3 Quote
cronus425 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Ok just did it with 1.1.3 and it works fine. So some weird bug it seems. Quote

Blodskaal Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Shouldn't it be fixed? It makes no sense that it can create more energy from nothing. Quote
Teraku Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Neither does a large hadron collider making Antimatter which gets thrown into a 7x7x7 cube of Fulmination Generators. In the end, it's just part of the endgame. Quote
