If someone can estimate the power of this in newtons, please tell in the comments. I'm open to copy but with credits.

    Merlin1846 , I totally agree with you, this looks ideal for small probes with small thrust/high efficiency

    nope, all the other materials were just melting...

    That is why you used dmnd,to block WARP?

    Ok EXOT goes unstable when it meets ELEC.And it is HUGE waste of money.You know,EXOT is hard to make(you have to spark the BREL at very high pressure).Plus,pure electrons are extremly hard to get and it can turn EXOT into warp.It can make rocket explode.

    But it's not too hot, and it's reletivlye fuel efficent. So it's a nuclear engine, these engines were origanaly considerd for the Apollo missions but never got the support and the technollogy needed was simply not their yet to efficently use these engines. But they were incrediblly efficent in theory and could be used for inter planetary travel do to the efficecy. But they produced a low amount of thrust, were both incredibly toxic and useless in amosphere.

    Well it's not to powerful (click 1 and 2 on your keyboard to see). The particales are flying out at slow speeds, the pressure is low because most of the output is heat and light rather than mass. So the engine could be used on a small probe for reaction control (from behind the probe it would look like theirs a star for an engine) but the heat may counter the thrust. Though this could be usfull in a laser or nuclear powerd flashlight.
