How Much Power Does Turbofuel Make?

While Turbofuel itself is a high-energy liquid fuel, it doesn't directly "make" power. Instead, it serves as an extremely efficient energy source for Fuel Generators, enabling them to produce substantial amounts of electricity. A single Fuel Generator operating at its standard efficiency can produce 250 MW of power when fueled by Turbofuel, with the potential to generate up to 625 MW when overclocked.

Turbofuel's Energy Potential

Turbofuel boasts an impressive energy content, providing 2,000 MJ/m³ (Megajoules per cubic meter). This high energy density makes it a superior fuel source compared to standard liquid fuels, allowing Fuel Generators to operate for longer durations or at higher outputs.

Power Output from Fuel Generators

The power generated from Turbofuel is entirely dependent on the Fuel Generator it powers and the generator's operational clock speed. Adjusting the clock speed allows for a trade-off between power output and fuel consumption efficiency.

Here's a breakdown of the power output capabilities of a single Fuel Generator when using Turbofuel at various clock speeds:

As the table illustrates, increasing the clock speed significantly boosts the power output but also reduces the burn time per unit of Turbofuel, meaning more fuel is consumed over the same period. For instance:

• At 100% clock speed, a Fuel Generator produces a steady 250 MW. This is the most fuel-efficient setting.
• Overclocking to 250% allows the generator to output 625 MW, making it a powerful solution for high-demand areas, though it will consume Turbofuel much faster.

Optimizing power generation with Turbofuel often involves balancing the number of Fuel Generators with the desired power output and the available Turbofuel production. For more details on Fuel Generators and their various fuel types, you can consult the Fuel Generator Wiki page.
