Lifegrow Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Made a little video showing a simple little oven I've built. Been thinking of ways to easily make naptha, and with the new metal tiles this seems pretty legit. Credit to @Neotix for the inspiration Abyssalite rooms. Upper chamber has access via naptha locks, and filled with 2kg of natural gas (could be any gas depending on your intended use) Bottom chamber contains Magma within a vacuum - also with naptha locks to enable access to dig out/refuel magma when depleted. Mechanised airlock is set to an open state by default (using NOT gate) and will only toggle shut when the thermo switch above toggles it. Thermo switch set to active if below 200 degrees, and wired through a NOT gate as mentioned above - open airlocks wont transfer heat, however as soon as it closes it begins to heat up. Very quickly the room starts to warm Once the thermo switch toggles, the airlock opens again and stops heating the room.

Bloxxed Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Looks good! Except, y'know, getting dupes to bottle lava. Won't it solidify before it reaches the pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't it solidify before it reaches the pump? Not at all - they can carry it in bottles no problem - once you set up a vacuum area to your magma it's just a case of running them down there. This is the little build I threw together for a previous video showing how you can easily build something to contain the heat - throw a pump inside and you're golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I think that any material gas pump would melt inside a lava chamber. Then again, I might just be missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make use of the fact you can build and destroy tiles diagonally, and it's incredibly simple to make a small space a vacuum without using a pump, from there you can expand the vacuum externally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggles Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I wish I had took the time to build up a vacuum to the bottom. My magma loses about 100C of heat during this journey. I suppose I could fill in a solid 4 wide tower of tiles and then hollow out the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 A small improvement would be to move the thermo-sensor to a hydrogen (or natural gas) filled tile beneath the hot plate so you can have make the active room a vacuum, if needed.

How do you mean sorry, i'm not following? (I've just finished a lengthy stream and am a little fried, so be gentle...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureJohny Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 If you placed it below, you would be measuring temp of the boiling plate, this way you are measuring temp of the boiled contents, important difference when making petrolleum. Also putting hydrogen there would need to be very fine tuned, too little and the hydrogen will not transfer enough heat to the sensor, too much and thermal capacity eats all the heat.

Lifegrow Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ahhhh I see what you mean now - that makes a lot of sense as regards the position of the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenIsAGeek Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 What about using a thermal backplate instead of hydrogen? Diamond or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
