This module implements power increasing/decreasing for electric engines. This means that with higher electrical inputs, their efficiency will improve. ie. pulsed induction thrusters
MODULE
{
name = VariablePowerEngine
ConstantThrust = 41.1
HeatCurve
{
key = 0 87.044429
key = 1 148.450317
}
PowerCurve
{
key = 0 999.99
key = 1 1999.9
}
IspCurve

}
}
-
ConstantThrust: The thrust in kilonewtons that is constant through power throttling. -
HeatCurve: AffectsheatProductioninModuleEnginesFX.-
key: first value is 0-1, second value isheatProduction. There can be as manykeyas wanted, but two is what's needed for the module to work.
-
-
PowerCurve: Affects the ElectricCharge/Second and engine draws.-
key: first value is 0-1, second value is ElectricCharge/second the engine drains at max throttle. There can be as manykeyas wanted, but two is what's needed for the module to work.
-
-
ISPCurve: Affects the engines ISP (Specific Impulse).-
key: first value is 0-1, second value is ISP in seconds. There can be as manykeyas wanted, but two is what's needed for the module to work.
