    Well by semickan I meant all required and recommended mods installed by ckan and yours manually
  2. raxo2222
    Ah cool, then add this warning for those who wants semi CKAN install at EVE download Edit: You forgot to mention, that only Sunflares should be installed from Scatterer mod - your wiki mentions this.

    While your mod won't go on CKAN, can I download required/recommended mods for it trough ckan? Also you have outdated link to Distant Object Enchantments, here's new one

    So oxygen level goes from 21% to 0% of total atmospheric volume in less than minute in tiniest capsule? I interpret 100% co2 level as effectively whole oxygen in atmosphere was used up. So minutes later we have 21% co2 79% nitrogen atmosphere it seems. Even if there is only air in lungs - lets say you are holding breath for minute - you don't fell sudden urge to breathe, that happens when co2 is at few percent of total air concentration.

    I meant you should be fried in less than minute without EC during EVA, when ambient temperature is around 1000 K.

    It seems like waste atmosphere is created waaay too fast. When I stop scrubbers in tiniest of stock crewed capsules CO2 percentage reaches 100% in less than minute. Also there should something happen, if atmospheric pressure falls below lets say 40 kPa. Shouldn't kerbals simply quickly roast while being outside in eva suits, when ambient temp is over 1000k regardless of electric charge?

    Well tiny reactors generating electricity are useful on probes and as plasma maintainers for bigger fusion reactors used solely for propulsion.

    This is maximum airspeed of unladen fusion kerbal: http://imgur.com/a/Pu688 This KSP Interstellar fusion powered air breathing can fly until it runs out of lithium/deuterium...

    Can we have whole interstellar tech tree table somewhere? It would be nice to see what where upgrades/unlocks at which tech node.

    Well if @FreeThinker is right, then we can use charged particles to generate electricity from fusion reactors and some very advanced fission reactors. Charged particle generator (producing electricity from charged particles) efficiency is between 50% - 86.5% efficient. This question is more of "what if" nature - inspired by KSP Interstellar Extended mod. This is actual problem in early KSPI science mode, where reactors don't produce much energy, radiators have low maximum temperature and there are thermal generators being at 36% or so efficiency.

    I was talking about smallest possible rocket with engine powered by nuclear reactor - either by thermal energy or using electricity like VASMIR or something on steroids.
  12. raxo2222
    lol but this Interstellar mod for KSPI wants to be as realistic as possible
  13. raxo2222
    @FreeThinker from where you got minimum sizes of various reactors and engines? Why for example Antimatter Initiated fusion reactor can't be smaller than 2.5 meters? Also what does this " Neutral Plasma / Non Neutral " in fusion reactor modes table mean?
  14. raxo2222
    Well (space-worthy) molten salt reactor from Interstellar has minimum size of 0.625m - this means diameter of 1.25m and similar height. Thermal generators/engines adds to height too.
  15. raxo2222
    I was playing Interstellar mod for KSP where you can have 0.625m fission/fusion/exotic reactor, not all kinds of them though.
  16. raxo2222
    It seems like there is extreme disagreement between reactor window and resource window when it comes to resource longevity. Edit: On unrelated note it seems only proton - boron and He3 fusion modes are only truly aneutronic fusion modes.

    Lets say most central part - 100 km - of Earth core was heated up by magic. What happens to rest of Earth? Do Earth's surface eventually melt? Do 15 - Richter magnitude earthquakes happen everywhere? I miss XKCD's whatif... shame they stopped coming regularly...

    It seems like Microwave Thermal Receiver doesn't work - it can't propel thermal ramjet. http://imgur.com/a/xmDVd I have 2 beam producers, that produce around 200 GW of beamed power. one on geostationary orbit above spaceport and another on island around 30 kilometers away. They both produce beam in long infrared bandwidth.

    Does bigger transmitter aperture mean, that on one hand energy beam won't spread out that fast, but on other hand receivers should be larger too? What is complete math for that, so we can calculate receivers aperture size? Lets say I have two transmitters, both of them have same wavelength L, but one has aperture of T1 = 1m and other has T2 = 10 meters. Over some distance X you'll need receivers R1 (linked to transmitter T1) = 2m and R2 (linked to transmitter T2) = 11m, is that right? If yes, then I would need bigass relay (aperture of 100 meters) to transmit, and even more bigass relay to receive power (aperture of 300 meters I guess :p) for example at Jupiter (for example for sustaining fusion reactor at Jupiters moon). Both of them would have to work on extreme ultraviolet.

    Here is small Fusion powered jet http://imgur.com/a/rGOpo With microwave network it could be bit lighter

    Why my fusion powered airplane keep fainting? I'm producing 10 MW of electricity (0.7m molten salt reactor on thorium mode), while fusion reactor (1.25m MTF on DT mode) needs 4 MW to run. http://imgur.com/a/29h42 Here's craft: https://ufile.io/07016 Edit: It appears like molten salt is trying to power thermal turbojet wasting its thermal energy... Edit: Okay I threw away cargobay with molten salt reactor and attached thermal generator to fusion reactor. Air from precoolers has to pass trough it, but since only 3% of total produced energy is needed to sustain fusion, it shouldn't be problem. Also craft is now only 100 kg heavier - now it weights exactly 7 tons. It has enough Lithium and Deuterium to fly for 2 years. Tritium is produced on the fly from lithium. Here I meant if its properly built as long term stationary powerplant (for example on Moon targeting geostationary relay satellites)

    Apparently Deuter - Lithium6 is best mode for energy production. Proton - Lithium7 is better if you want aneutronic fusion - but it has lower energy production - 266 GW for 10m Stellatron. Not only it is nearly baseline energy production, it is 100% charged particles too! Its set in far infrared mode currently. Is that how you make orbital powerplants? And what is use for tiny aperture transmitters?

    Can we have ability to store all liquid fuels including Diborane/Kerosene/Helium 4 in standard Interstellar tanks?
  24. raxo2222
    I tested various propellants for rocket launch nozzle, and liquid Nitrogen generates most thrust. I'm getting 0.697 kN/MW. ISP is 318.4, like its chemical rocket. It is even better than Hydrogen/LiquidFuel/Methane + Oxidizier combination. It seems like liquid nitrogen and rocket nozzle is best for heavy lifting. I used 10m thermal only energy fusion reactor on D-T mode and that thermal engine. Lets see 5m antimatter reactor and thermal ramjet with Nitrogen. 0.281 kN/MW. I guess this is tied to ISP - its 803 in this case. So if I tried coldest reactor I would get 0.700 or even 0.800 kN/MW.
  25. raxo2222
    It seems like we are getting max 217 newtons per megawatt - for rocket launch nozzle and thermal ramjet. Isn't that bit low? Numbers are for Hydrogen if applicable.
