| Aug 12, 2018 at 18:22 | comment | added | Durakken | @MichaelKjörling I wrote 10GW per second to be clear what I meant because not everyone knows that. I don't use Wh cuz it confuses me how exactly to write it and it's a bad unit of measure imo. | |

| Aug 12, 2018 at 10:58 | comment | added | user | "the Reactors produces 10Gw per second" doesn't make sense from a units point of view (I'm assuming here that you meant GW and not Gw; otherwise I don't know what unit you're talking about). The watt is a measure of flow rate; 1W = 1 J/s (joule per second). When multiplied by a unit of time, it becomes a measure of the amount of energy within a system; for example, 1,000 Wh (1 kWh) is 1,000 J/s multiplied by 3,600 seconds (1 hour), or 3,600,000 J (or 3.6 MJ, if you prefer that notation). Please take care to get your units right, or you're totally going to ruin immersion for lots of people. | |

| Aug 12, 2018 at 6:20 | comment | added | Durakken | @CortAmmon There is no set discharge period that i have, but the quicker the better in this...As long as it is reasonable enough I can manage longer periods of time by handwave tech progress, several minutes doesn't work due to the adjustments needed for improving tech. I need it to be electrical power. Though there is a handwave way to get heat out of the system cuz a Fusion Reactor will produce heat and that needs to be taken care of. And yeah I know this is Nuclear Bomb ranges ^.^ Bombs are not acceptable solutions lol. | |
| Aug 12, 2018 at 6:10 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | Are you specifically looking to do this with electrical energy? If thermal energy (i.e. setting off explosives) is an acceptable solution, you've got a iwider range of solutions. | |
| Aug 12, 2018 at 6:09 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | How fast does this discharge need to occur? The technologies are markedly different if it has to discharge over the course of a minute or a millisecond. However, please do note that you are literally in nuclear bomb range for these energies. | |
| Aug 12, 2018 at 5:01 | comment | added | Durakken | @L.Dutch I'm designing a space ship. I need to know the physical specs of the things so that i can put the stuff in the ship. Whether that's a battery or a capacitor or whatever. I can't find a way to get to that answer. I don't need to exactly how it works, just the size of it. The drive itself takes 6 hours to create a field that lasts for x amount of time and uses 140TJ of energy. | |
| Aug 12, 2018 at 4:53 | comment | added | L.Dutch♦ | If I am asking is because it is not clear from how you have written it | |
| Aug 12, 2018 at 4:50 | comment | added | Durakken | @L.Dutch What do you think building a charge is? This is just a really big charge. | |

| Aug 12, 2018 at 4:43 | comment | added | RonJohn | You don't have a TJ charge going around in a circuit. It sits there in a battery or capacitor. | |
| Aug 12, 2018 at 4:42 | comment | added | L.Dutch♦ | no, it's not obvious. In all the powered things I have been on, the power supply works constantly, not kicking in once every x hours. | |
| Aug 12, 2018 at 4:40 | comment | added | Durakken | @L.Dutch isn't that obvious? The generator needs to make the energy. It just is only used every 6 hours. | |

| Aug 12, 2018 at 4:35 | comment | added | L.Dutch♦ | why can't you simply run the generator at partial power? | |
