Vermillium Engine

Engines, generators and other power generating machinery that uses Vermillium as its power source.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Vermillium Engine comes in two variants:

Vermillium Generators utilizes automated processes to tap into a Vermillium crystal's stored energy and releases the output as either electricity or kinetic energy. The crystal itself is suspended in place inside a reinforced core within the central mass of the mechanism.
Vermillium Engines uses liquid or gas Vermillium fuel. Inside the fuel is rapidly cycled through a complex vacuum sealed configuration of specialized pipes and processing units. As the fuel passes through the pipe system, the fuel is molecularly excited. The now voltile fuel is then expelled out, producing kinetic force..

Manufacturing process

There are many designs for a Vermillium engine available on the market today though there are common recurring characteristics;

A Crystal Core Chamber where the Vermillium crystal itself is placed.
A specialized Fuel Tank if the engine in question uses liquid or gas Vermillium fuel.
An Energy Extraction System.
And an Outer Casing which protects the internal mechanism from exposure and damage.

Significance

Vermillium Engines are a vital part of any advanced space faring civilization as with any powerful energy sources. Especially those near Vermillium deposits. These machines and its many variants can power almost anything. From the simplest portable devices, vehicles and transports, industrial machinery to an entire city. If it runs on batteries or fuel, there's most likely a Vermillium Engine equivalent of it.
