Hydrogen and Natural Gas Vent

This article is unlikely to help experienced players. For the rest - wellcome!

Hydrogen vent
Hydrogen comes out at t = 500ºC, so even a steel pump can burn. This is a simple scheme, I am ready to offer:

Materials/installations

 * Metal tile - gold (I don't use aluminum - it's not available on Terra).
 * Pump - gold amalgam (with proper construction, even it won't burn out).
 * Water on the turbine floor and in the chamber - 200kg/cell.
 * Atmosensor - above 1000gr.

Hydrogen with a t of about 115ºC at the outlet. If you need colder hydrogen (up to 96ºC) - lengthen the chamber to the right by 1.5...2 times. Don't forget to add water.

Natural gas vent
Natural gas is slightly less heat-intensive than hydrogen, and its temperature is much lower. So I suggest a simple version (it even has a pump made of gold amalgam instead of steel): After passing through the biome it will cool below 100ºC (depending on the type of biome). Biome it will heat a little bit, if the gas will not stand at the vent, and will go straight to the generators / compressors (atmosensor > 500gr). And you'll be able to use the free energy from the first few cycles. And then, if you want, you can always go back to the vent: cover with thermal tiles, replace the pump with steel.

Fairly turning on the generator
According to my schemes or anyone else's, it is not enough to simply run a pipe from the vent to the generator.


 * In moments of eruption, the vent can lock on overload (pressure > 5 kg).
 * In moments of vent sleep, the generator will not work at all.

Therefore, the correct scheme should (imho) look like this:


 * Gas (hydrogen or natural gas), by the bridge rule will go first to the generator, and then already to the compressor.
 * The squeezer pump will clog the outgoing pipe and stop, because its gas will not leave the bridge.
 * Gas from the squeezer will only go to the generator when it ends at the vent.
 * Compressor I do not regard as a buggy, but instead of it you can use a regular tank (they will need a lot).
 * The grid in the squeezer is petroleum, water can boil off.
 * At the startup stage, the tunnel from the vent will have not only the right gas (hydrogen/natural gas) but also random gases. You can choose the filter yourself: normal, on the sensor, on the valve. After starting the filter, you can still tear it down.
 * If the base has high power consumption, there may be more generators, of course. However, the buffer pipe (between the first bridge and the generator) must be longer, otherwise the pump in the squeezer will often turn on.
 * Drain contaminated water and carbon dioxide - at your discretion.
