ac30fspad35 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 well cause i cant make mods so maybe someone else might. there could be solar panels,generators,lemon battery's,charging ports,ect. it would be one heck of a mod.

Viceroy Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Lemon batteries? Like... made from lemons? PintLasher 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorschach Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 No, lemons made from batteries! Yes, batteries made with lemons - the acidity can be used to create a very weak electrical charge. I have no idea what you could actually run on such a thing though, certainly not much than an LED bulb, or a digital clock, I'd reckon.

Viceroy Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Lol, I think in the apocalypse the lemon would be better used as a food source. Cl0nec0mmand0 and rorschach 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powered by lemons?? lol, just lol. its true you can power it with a lemon battery. even a potato. of course you would probably need 4 to power a wep. and 10 potato's to power it. true story.

Eliijahh Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Could be used to power a calculator. Wow... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harakka Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Potatoes do not make their own power though, they act as a conductor for the power (I am pretty sure, I can not remember exactly, been a while since I brushed up on my electricity and potato science.)I don't know how you'd be defining "making their own power." The potato or lemon or whatever acts as the electrolyte in the cell, just like whatever other electrolyte does in a "real" battery.

Kyun Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Confusion always happens with this stuff. With electrolysis you do need a current to make a chemical reaction. The electrolyte is there for the ions to carry the current, and the chemical reaction occurs. The whole is an electrolytic cell. But here, we want to produce current. We want a galvanic cell, which derives current from the chemical reaction. It's the opposite way if you want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac30fspad35 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 anyway you could also have a windmill generator with wind power or maybe the nikola tesla wire that provides continual energy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Windmill generator is a good idea, will definitely find those on remote places. Solar panels are on almost every geyser here in South Africa, not sure of KY though. Might be good for rudimentary charging and lighting without much modification.

PintLasher Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Solar generators both large and small would have to be very rare for game balance. Would be nice if you could find some rich green guys/super-hippies solar cabin somewhere syfy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac30fspad35 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 or maybe a geothermal generator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 or maybe a geothermal generator. These generators are usually absolutely massive, relying on a myriad of pump stations to supply water to the geothermal hotspot where it is turned into steam to power yet another station housing the turbined. The problem being they can only be built at very select places on earth and generally work with massive amounts of pressure-buildup. Something that would/can surely fail catastrophically when not manned by engineers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gh057 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 For me even a simple generator would be a great option. Powered by fuel.of course From other options wind turbines and solar panel would be great too. I'd be really happy if someone could mod it to game Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxZeraphinexX Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 for some small amount of energy just make a fire and boil water trough a pipeline/turbine and use a cars light machine to get at least some light without to much stress it´s about small amounts of energy i think not to power a city, at least for now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
