hello people,
it has been some time since i had an brain worm that needed to be send out into the forums, its due this one got out..
please note: this topic requires you to have an basic understanding of nuclear reactors. or else any post wil not be an adition to the subject at hand..
this includes an addition to the geothermal generators. (perhaps an upgrade craftable for upgrade slot)
wel, lets begin. i gues everybody knows nuclear fusion creates an vast amount of heat, this heat is tucked away into coolant cells / heat distributors (how i call them)
the big hastle for me, is that from all the heat we create, only an FRACTION gets used to actualy create energy. all that other heat we just tuck away and dont use, instead we let the reactor cool and so lose all that potential power.
so what i suggest as you might have guesed, is an addition to the Geothermal reactor. the ability to throw in an reactor component and let it cool in there while producing an small amount of energy. (maybe 1 EU/tick to 5 EU/tick)
why did i chose the geothermal reactor for this? wel obviously it uses HEAT from lava to generate its power. yes, it uses HEAT stored in lava. so why should it not be able to use the HEAT stored in reactor components to generate an small amount of power while cooling down the components greatly (im thinking of 1-5 minutes)
the time of power production would be as follows.
2000 heat, about 0 minutes of generation
4000 heat, about 2 minutes.
6000 heat, about 3 minutes.
8000 heat, about 4 minutes.
9999 heat (just bellow melting (HAYO!)) 4,5 minutes of power.
this way the damage value of the components would be used to generate power. its sorta like repairing them outside an reactor. by using their heat to generate an small amount of power.
note the 2000 heat components not having any generation time? that is becouse lava, has an heat value of 2000 heat, so in my opinion it should not be able to cool it any more then that.
also, any component thrown in wil NOT be destroyed, it would simply be cooled down..
now, to allow the geothermal generator to be able to cool down the components there should be an upgrade required, it would be with an recipe like this:
where are gold 2x insulated cables
these upgrades are not stackable since it has the heat disperser inside of it.
what do you guys think? is this OP of realistic enough to be actualy implemented. or imposible to code?
there has been some time into this, and my inspiration came from the aditional reactor components by rick - the steam turbine component.
wel, thats all, Fire away! il listen to ur arguments and try to understand why not to add it, FrenixR bring it on! 
first edit:
the discusion so far compressed in an small explaination. like i understood it:
looks like the discusion is going to an new level. an iditional component. from what i understood this is my conclusion:
instead of taking the components out - then taking the heat.
we craft an ADITIONAL component which:
1-cools like coolant cells
2-cooling kicks in AFTER 2000 heat - what i understood was that they start generating at 2000 heat. so its only fair they start cooling after 2000 heat.
3-maybe, after each 2000 or X heat, their efficiency is increased by 1 EU/Tick making high risk reactors more worth while to build.
4-generates 2 EU/Tick at 2000 heat.
any other idea's?
god... i love an good discusion where people can put in their feedback about something. start with 1 and end with 2. an refined product of idea 1 
btw what can i do, im happy persone, i like some times to overdose smiles 
:evil:
