In light of the recent insanely efficient nuclear cells on FP i thought i'd make some more realistic fuel cells using heatsinks to generate electricity. NOTE: once started, fuel flow cannot be stopped. 100% destructible. enjoy!

    oh, and if you don't believe it's actually using the fuel to generate the electricity, drain the fuel and see what happens..

    (i'd reccomend starting it with gravity on then switching to 0g later, imagine a rocket starting on the ground then launching to space.)

    This fuel cell is much more efficient in zero gravity, burning the same quantity of fuel in almost four times as long, at the cost of reliability. The cells can become extremely hard to start in 0g and will sometimes (rarely) cut out and require re-lighting.
