In this plant deuterium is synthesised from CO2, Boyle and GLOW. The end product is not contaminated by GLOW. I tried to keep the usage of non-breakables as low as possible.
Process: - CO2 generated by bcln and then catalysed to O2 - The O2 is then transferred to the yellow reaction chamber where it reacts with BOYL to water and FOG. - FOG is catalysed to water by metal inside the yellow reaction chamber. - Water and glow are mixed in 3 drops this generates DEUT - A vent separates GLOW from WATER and DEUT -WATER and DEUT are heated, WATER evaporates. - DEUT is cooled down.
The production can stall after a while, this is caused by deut/water/glow that simply doesn't fall down. Any way of fixing this without the use of unbreakables would be very welcome. I made a quick patch that releases an electrical current on the water, this sometimes fixes the problem, but not always.
Some of the details are based on russia's first nuclear power plant:
Nuclear submarine. Shape based on the DeltaIV class:
SLBMs: Type SS-N-23 Skiff
Model features: Heat sources: > Deut reactor, runs on preheated deuterium to reduce consumption. Working temperature 500 - 800 degrees C. > Plasma generator, generates plasma of hydrogen + a little oxygen. Produces water and heat.
>Destiller: Heats salt water to 200+ degrees. Residue salt is put into a void, steam is cooled down and stored. >Electrolyzer: Generates hydrogen and oxygen, separated by extreme cooling, hydrogen goes to the plasma heater, oxygen is transferred to the interior. >Guy: turns anything into CO2 to simulate people turning O2 into CO2. >CO2 remover: removes CO2 from CO2 + O2 mixture by pumping it through water. BUBW is sent to SALTW entrance where the BUBW will surface, releasing the captured CO2. O2 is pumped back to the interior.
A new, still unfinished project: The Tupolev 119 / Tu95 lal, a nuclear powered Russian bomber (which in reality probably never really flew on its reactor)
Pictures of the real deal;
A little detail on the reactor and engines;
The idea was to power the inner engines by the reactor, the outer engines are conventional Kuznetsov NK-12 turboprops. More info about the tu-119 on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-119 .
Conventional turboprop schematics;
It's basically a tu-95 with a reactor fitted inside, so I could use the shape of a tu-95 for my drawing.
It's far from done; the electronics still need a lot of work, and I want to add some more instruments. I also want to improve the deco/mechanics of the reactor.
Please comment, so I can make some more changes before releasing. Thanks!
