alexkuzmov Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I got an idea for an automated system for producing oxygen which should be self powering, but not sure. It can be automated for sure. Input Polluted water (Cool slush geyser or other), Regolith Evaporation chamber: Effect: 1 KG Polluted Water 1 KG Polluted Oxygen Deodorizer: Effect: 1.333 KG Regolith 1.433 KG Clay 1 KG Polluted Oxygen 0.9 KG Oxygen Handling byproducts: Duplicant: Effect: 0.9 KG Oxygen 0.018 KG Carbon Dioxide Hatch: Effect: 1.433 KG Clay 1.433 KG Coal Coal Generator: Effect: 1.433 KG Coal 859 W/s (1289 W/s) + 0,028 Carbon Dioxide Molten Slickster Effect: 0.046 KG Carbon Dioxide 0.023 KG Petroleum From then on you can input the remaining byproducts somewhere in the chain. Petroleum to Petroleum generator to get more carbon dioxide and polluted water and so on. Has anyone tried something like this? Both polluted water and regolith are free on almost any map.

fredhp Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Maybe something like an enclosed 3x1 (3 height , 1 width ) area with PH2O and a small gas pump, pumpimg resultante po2 to a area with purifiers will do the trick.

metallichydra Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 when evaporating PH2O, does it turn into PO2? i thought it turned into steam and dirt Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/109208-free-oxygen-with-a-pinch-of-power/#findComment-1229952 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off-gassing occurs when ph2o is stored in a place with atmospheric pressure bellow 1.8Kg. It happens with slime, bleach stone and polluted dirt. Evaporation happens when ph2o is above 125c, resulting and steam and dirt.

OP said: Evaporation chamber: Effect: 1 KG Polluted Water 1 KG Polluted Oxygen so i assume he's going to evaporate it, since its an evaporation chamber, and he states the effects is polluted oxygen.

fredhp Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Well.... maybe he has mistok the difference between off-gassing and evaporation - off-gassing is the only concept that fits the OP description. Anyway....off-gassing 1Kg Ph2o into 1Kg PO2 will take ages - i dont think it is really practical.

Its all about maximizing the area which is in contact with the polluted water. It can be done with air flow tiles: Also I did mean evaporation, going from polluted water to steam is called boiling, no?

It is work, and cheap power wise, but slow, so require a lot of space, need huge chamber to have decent output.

fredhp Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 What i do is to install mini gas pumps in my ph2o reservoir to collect the po2, but i never build anything dedicated to po2 production due to the very low production rates.
