Fuel Cell

Usage. The Fuel Cell uses a small amount of liquid fuel and oxidizer to generate electric charge. When active, one fuel cell will drain a FL-T100 Fuel Tank in around 7.4 hours, and will empty a Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank in about 79 days. The Fuel Cell produces 400 electric charge per unit of rocket fuel (0.45 units of liquid fuel, …

Anti Solar Panels?

A pump, fed by a daytime power source (say, from those solar panels). Day: you power the pump with the solar panels and pump the water from the lower reservoir to the upper one. Night: you stop the pump and let the water from the upper reservoir slowly drain down to the lower one, rotating a turbine and producing the electricity.

Solar Panels

is there a reasonable (other than tech level) circumstance where the 2x3 solar panels are superior to the 1x6''s? I believe that either by default or a mod I have installed my progression went single panel -> 2x3 -> 1x6, but for the life of me I can''t think of a time when I would have preferred the 2x3''s, sometimes I don''t see a difference, and …

[1.1.2]Kopernicus Solar panel patch v0.0.2 (June 5, 2016)

It looks like solar panels are fixed in Kopernicus 1.1.2 making this mod no longer necessary. I''ll leave this up for anyone still on older versions of Kopernicus but I don''t have plans to update this mod. I''ve put together a plugin to replace the RTG solar panel fix in Galactic Neighborhood. This...

Help! I can''t deploy my solar panels!

For a few days now, I haven''t been able to deploy solar panels. If I right click them, nothing happens.

Cooling for nuclear batteries

Especially if you are only going places where solar panels have good efficiency (i.e. the Mun). Another approach would be to use fuel cell array; you will need to math it right but that would allow you to operate without solar panel. That would probably be required for places where solar panels are not that great (i.e. Jool and beyond).

Solar Panels not Charging Batteries

Hey guys, So I launched a satellite with 2 OX-STAT Photovoltaic Panels, but i forgot to orient it properly once I reached orbit. So the panels are almost edge on to the sun . However, one of the panels is still getting 4% sun exposure and "producing energy" (it says energy flow = 0.017). The prob...
