Fusion power.
A more powerful alternative to fission reactors (The kind currently in IC2...). Maximum generation of a current reactor is 2,400 EU, this suggestion could manage up to 5-7 times this figure. Nuclear engineering principles still apply.
(Going to try to illustrate... Bear with me...)
Plasma generators would be used to make the main fusion reactor.
Plasma generators would be made like this:
:Copper Ingot: :Advanced Circuit: :Copper Ingot:
:Tesla Coil: :Advanced Machine: :Tesla Coil:
:Energy Crystal: :Advanced Circuit: :Energy Crystal:
(The energy crystals represent Lapatron crystals...)
Created: 2 plasma generators.
The fusion reactor would be a simple upgrade of the basic reactor:
:Iridium: :Intergrated Heat Dispenser: :Iridium:
:MFS-Unit: :Reactor: :MFS-Unit:
:Advanced Circuit: :Intergrated Heat Dispenser: :Advanced Circuit:
(The MFSU's represent plasma generators...)
Created: 1 fusion reactor.
For the fusion fuel cells, a hydrolysis machine (Upgrade of electrolyzer) would have to be made with an electrolyzer, 2 advanced circuits, & 2 refined iron. Like so:
:Refined Iron: :Refined Iron:
:Advanced Circuit: :Advanced Machine: :Advanced Circuit:
Created: 1 hydrolysis machine.
(The advanced machine block represents the electrolyzer machine.)
To make the fuels cells, just put :Electrolyzed Water Cell: in, power & wait.
1 water cell becomes 1 hydrogen cell (AKA fusion cell...).
Next would be extreme high-voltage wire, made of mixed metal ingots capable of handling >2048 EU with minimal loss. Crafted like so:
:Rubber: :Rubber: :Rubber:
:Metal Block: :Metal Block: :Metal Block:
:Rubber: :Rubber: :Rubber:
Created: 16 wire.
Second to last would be a higher-capacity version of the MFSU made with extreme-voltage wire, 4 MFSU's, 2 transformer upgrades, & 2 energy storage upgrades. Needed due to power from reactor MAY overwhelm MFSU's. The upgrades can go in any corner, just the MFSU's & cable need to be like this:
:HV-Transformer:
:HV-Transformer: :Cable: :HV-Transformer:
:HV-Transformer:
Created: 1 EVSU. (Extreme Voltage Storage Unit.)
Lastly would be Extreme-voltage transformers.
:Energy Crystal: :HV-Transformer: :Energy Crystal:
:HV-Transformer: :MFS-Unit: :HV-Transformer:
:Energy Crystal: :HV-Transformer: :Energy Crystal:
Created: 1 EV-transformer.
(The MFSU represents a EVSU...)
