== Description == <!--T:2--><br />
The combustion centrifuge is a gas powered version of the [[Centrifuge]]. A combustible fuel mix should be supplied to the gas input, and waste gasses should be vented from the output. The machine's RPM's must be controlled via the throttle and combustion limiter levers. If the Combustion Centrifuge gains, or loses, RPMs too fast it will experience stress, and eventually grind to a halt. Higher RPMs directly result in faster processing speeds.<br />
<br />
The throttle lever controls the amount of fuel being pulled into the machine, increasing the temperature inside the engine, and leading to an increase in RPM. The limiter lever influences the speed of combustion, and how much uncombusted gas is in the exhaust.<br />
<br />
Ejecting ore from the Combustion Centrifuge while it is at high RPMs will result in additional stress build up. If turned off, while not stressed, the machine will automatically start to brake, and reduce RPMs in a controlled manner.<br />
<br />
The Combustion Centrifuge has a socket for an [[Integrated Circuit (IC10)|IC10 chip]], similar to the [[Atmospherics]] machine. It comes with two device ports, d0 and d1, for connecting to other devices. To change or set a device, use a screwdriver to cycle through devices found on the machine's data network.<br />
== '''Important''' == <br />
The speed of the Combustion Centrifuge can be boosted significantly by replacing the fuel mixture with a [[Fuel|Superfuel]] mixture (N20 with Volatiles). The use of regular fuel mixture reaches ~500rpm while being easy to store and making the centrifuge easier to start. On the other hand, using a superfuel mixture can boost the centrifuge to ~1200rpm, processing ore at more than double the speed. This comes at the cost of ease of use, as storing Superfuel mixtures and Nitrous Oxide itself is difficult, and starting up the centrifuge also becomes more complex.<br />
== Throttle ==<br />
<br />
Every tick up to 0.01 moles of gas will be pulled in to the machine from the input pipe network. The Throttle parameter linearly controls how much gas to pull in, <code>inputMoles = 0.01*Throttle/100</code>. The Throttle value is rounded to the nearest multiple of 10 when set over the Data Network.<br />
<br />
== Combustion Limiter ==<br />
<br />
On each tick the Combustion Centrifuge will manually combust up to 75% of the fuel mixture in its internal atmosphere. This happens on the remaining fuel '''after''' natural combustion takes place as described in [[Volatiles#Usage|Volatiles]]. The portion of fuel manually combusted each tick is <code>clamp((Limiter/10)^2 * 0.0075, 0.001, 1)</code>. The Combustion Limiter value is rounded to the nearest multiple of 10 when set over the Data Network.<br />
