Basics
- These are devices like batteries, but with oxygen and/or air as the oxydizer and a fuel (Usually gas or liquid excluding magnesium and zinc fuel cells)
- More Efficient Converters Than ICE's and ECE's
- Do not Produce Carbon Monoxide and other Byproducts due to lack of combustion
- Do produce waste heat (amount varys based on design) (This heat can also be harvsted via something like a turbine (such as a steam one) or a Stirling Engine to improve efficiency further
