Displacer Log #1
So I’ve been working on the Displacer unit for a while but I haven’t really written about it. Well, fear not, I’m going to bore you with all the details!
Firstly, bending spacetime enough to insert molecular patterns where they don’t belong takes power. A lot of power. About 2.3 Megawatts, in fact; enough to supply electricity to about 1,000 households. In fact, power generation is one of the key major demands of the project.
Obviously, I’m not hooking this up to the mains because my benefactor doesn’t want to cause the whole island a blackout (and neither do I). What I needed was to construct my own power generating solution.
This turbine is capable of producing some serious wattage. It will be driven by steam from the Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR), but I’ll come to that in due course...
