Isotropic Fuel Rod
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Isotropic Fuel Rods are a surviving technology from the Dark Age of Technology, and a basic building block of Imperial technology. These contain a metal fluid - each metre-long fuel rod contains sufficient energy to power a hab-block for weeks. The knowledge to fabricate these is jealousy guarded by the Adeptus Mechanicus. [1]
The basic source of power for the Underhive of Necromunda, Isotropic Fuel Rods are manufactured in the Hive City, though they can sometimes also be found among salvaged Archeotech.[2]
The fuel rods can be used to power almost anything, from water stills, to air pumps and generators. A single one of these can be enough to establish an entire settlement out of the wasteland.[Needs Citation]
