	If the engine's temperature is above 300°C and ~~was capable of combusting~~ at least 30 J during the current tick, the engine produces torque, speeding up by 1 RPM/tick for every {{Overline\|416.\|6}} K of temperature (up to a maximum of 12 RPM/tick at 5000 K) in a frictionless environment, consuming 30 J*RPM gained from its internal atmosphere in the process. Friction slows the engine down by 1%/tick afterwards, making the engine reach a steady-state speed directly dependent on its temperature.		If the engine's temperature is above 300°C and combusted at least 30 J during the current tick, the engine produces torque, speeding up by 1 RPM/tick for every {{Overline\|416.\|6}} K of temperature (up to a maximum of 12 RPM/tick at 5000 K) in a frictionless environment, consuming 30 J*RPM gained from its internal atmosphere in the process.

Otherwise, its stress is increased by <code>(abs(RPM delta) - 1) * min(1000/(RPM+500), 1.25)</code> %/tick (which can go negative reducing stress faster than the 0.5%/tick you'd get otherwise).

	If stress is at 100% or more, the centrifuge slows down by a whopping 40 RPM/tick. This can put the centrifuge's engine into a death spiral as the lower RPM leads to a higher net torque which can increase the stress rate even further, with the only way to resume operation being reducing the engine's internal temperature to a point it can start accelerating again in a controlled fashion. Because the engine only cools down if it has at least 30 J/tick of combustion still occuring within it, this can be difficult to achieve without turning the centrifuge off and waiting for all hot gas to be flushed into the exhaust.

-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.
