-== '''Important''' ==
+== Processing Speed ==
-The speed of the Combustion Centrifuge can be boosted significantly by replacing the fuel mixture with a [[Fuel|Superfuel]] mixture (N20 with Volatiles). The use of regular fuel mixture reaches ~500rpm while being easy to store and making the centrifuge easier to start. On the other hand, using a superfuel mixture can boost the centrifuge to ~1200rpm, processing ore at more than double the speed. This comes at the cost of ease of use, as storing Superfuel mixtures and Nitrous Oxide itself is difficult, and starting up the centrifuge also becomes more complex.
+Using regular [[Fuel]], the Combustion Centrifuge can reach a bit higher than 500 RPM, making it just over 5 times faster than the regular [[Centrifuge]]. The regular electric centrifuge will take about 20 seconds to process a single piece of [[Dirty Ore]], while a Combustion Centrifuge at 520 RPM will take just 3.5 seconds. At full speed, the centrifuge will take in the realm of 3-5 hours to deplete a [[Gas Canister (Smart)|Smart Canister]] filled with fuel.

-The combustion centrifuge is a gas powered version of the [[Centrifuge]]. A combustible fuel mix should be supplied to the gas input, and waste gasses should be vented from the output. The machine's RPM's must be controlled via the throttle and combustion limiter levers. If the Combustion Centrifuge gains, or looses, RPMs too fast it will experience stress, and eventually grind to a halt. Higher RPMs directly result in faster processing speeds.
