Weekend question: Where did it go?

A question that might not be for everyone but I am curious.

0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002% of mankind know that energy can not be destroyed, only transformed.

We have this only slightly illogical and most impossible module that does magic and neutralizes energy.

But where does it go?

It's probably turned into heat. The real question is where do you get the energy from the cap chains for Ospreys and the like?

I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

The portion of the energy which does not do work during the transfer is called heat.

Another highschool dropout detected or your colleges encourage you to use wiki as scientific reference -oh my..

Anyhow, I said neutralized. There was no transfer of energy, it just disappeared, which brings up my question, to where?

Capacitors don't produce energy, they store the excess power produced by a ship's engine reactor and reuse it to power the rest of the ship. Much like a car battery stores energy from the engine. And since our ship's engines run on antimatter/nuclear power plants, they are very efficient energy wise.

A cap chain on the other hand uses Tesla's principle of wireless power transmission to expand the capacitor limits of a single ship, and combine the power of a ship chain to create a power transformer that connects each ship's powergrid.

You people should skill into thermodynamics so you gain the ability to frown at perpetual motion machines, ASAP.

You're making the mistake of thinking of the target ship's capacitor as a closed system. It's obviously not as the use of the neut and nos tech shows. Once the student makes that correction in their thinking, the solution is trivial.

Dear Chess Devs,

Have you ever noticed there's way too many pawns and not enough queens?
If you want to make your game perfect, change some of those pawns into queens.

TYVM Have a nice day!

What if it was a transfer but extremely inefficient thus dissipating all the energy into heat in space? Just imagine a NOS being a reverse energy transfer and then, picture this being turned to 11 without having the required technology to really handle that amount of energy passing through so it all dissipate into heat. It's like electric circuit inside a home but without the fuse/breaker safety. You put a way too high demand of energy across a medium that can't really handle it so it heats up and waste energy. The neut just make sure it's transfer medium is as bad as imaginable so it heats up to ridiculous level but it won't start a fire like in a house because the transfer is made into space where that amount of energy won't really change anything.

100% elimination does not really make sense but :gameplay: ya know...

"Free" electricity is made of electrons in a overcrowded valency orbit, in search of a emptier valency obit. Think of those little fellas waiting to put their funsticks into a empty funhole by lack of enough funholes in their place... that's a charged capacitor for you.

How do you neutralize those guys? Either you provide funholes (like, pumping in positive ions with hungry funholes waiting for funsticks so they become satisfied neutral atoms), or let them flow to a place with enough funholes, or use electromagnetism to drain their energy so they're not so willing to find a funhole (FAI wasting their energy to produce photons).

So it's not about "neutralize energy". It's about fulfiling or eroding electrons' urge to fall into a valency orbit gap.
