Consistency is safe and happy. Barreling hot steam or used (hot) coolant is NOT possible.

However, barreling oxygen gas is possible (and possibly other gases too) @!? Erh?? :/( ... I'll accept that as a "feature".
From a realistic point of view, barrels should only contain cold liquids (15-25C). No ...

Trying to use advanced smelting for the first time.. shouldn't you be able to barrel used coolant?
Very hot fluids (300 C) are hardly barrelable, used coolant needs to be cooled;

But I can barrel 500°C hot steam? That's inconsistent.

I agree; it's inconsistent. Steam shouldn't be barrelable ...

Standard boilers have a 50% efficiency. Mk2 boilers have 60% and hotter steam. And so on. I would keep to those values.

But I wasn't thinking of making H2 a fuel that you just burn in a boiler. I was still thinking chemical plant where you have a dedicated recipe. X units of H2 + Y units of O2 ...

I'm happy to see I was not alone with these ideas about H2.

For the numbers, I don't really know. Just throwing ideas. I am not a mod maker, just a user (even though I 've been a C programmer 15 years ago).

Agreed, there should be no way to get more energy back from the H2 than its cost of ...

Well, it could be prevented to create such a loop. Such a burner could have low efficiency and no modules allowed, thus not violating thermodynamics too severely.
As I said in my first post, it's the blatant absolute void of all thermal energy coming out of the H2 + O2 to purified water that is ...

Hello.
Question about what I'd simply call the 'Basic Hydrogen Loop'
I haven't found that being asked before. Sorry if it has, and I missed it.

Context : I'm playing with the SeaBlock mod pack.

Solar panels produce Electric Energy
Electrolyser : Raw Sea Water + Electric energy > H2 + O2 + Slag (no ...
