RvOvLvIvN (Rolin) has produced an engine that works by acting as an overpowered cooling system. The heat of the craft is channeled into the engine, at which point it is absorbed and converted into electricity which is in turn used in the craft's systems to power everything and produce more heat. Very little energy is lost in the process, but temperature control is required in the environment, as the engine tries to convert as much heat as possible to electricity which continually lowers the temperature of the craft until the engine's parts freeze and break due to the extreme cold.

Luckily, throughout all of Rolin's testing, there has not been a failure in the engine's systems. The heat-transfer wires haven't melted or reached dangerous temperatures, even when under high stress. Slowly, but surely, the engine will lose power, but this takes a VERY long time.

The schematics for this revolutionary engine can be sold for a mere $175 000 000 000, which can be paid in monthly installments of $25 000 000 000 over the span of 7 months.

-shrug-

I'll take a schematic... *Money wired in full*

I'll probably use it on some midget sub or something experimental...it doesn't serve much of a purpose..

We'd like an detailed explaination as to the mechanism of how this device works first. For all we know, it just channels the heat to boil water power a steam turbine :lol:

The full details of the schematics have been sent to your government.


And the first paragraph is an explanation of how it works, nice attempt at mockery, though.
