2T - 1288PPF (Old efficiencies) or 644PPF (New efficiencies in 2.5.3.1)



I think it's the best 5x5xN 2 Turbo engine design out there today.

The Helix outperforms the Neptune, and more so when you extend them out:

The Neptune 10% RPM PPF is asymptotic to 400ish as you add sections. The Helix PPF should go up very quickly into the thousands.



Killshoot's 2T engine matches performance, but the Helix is extendable, and gets better with each extension:

T1 vs T2 Engines

1T 150PPFs (The old 300PPFs) are great for tournaments, but the campaign runs on costs over time. Give 2T 644PPF a chance.



I'll compare the 1T JeminiZero Jaden Fist Original with 19,919 power to the 2T Helix with an equivalent conversion to the same power:

(New fuel densities, efficiencies, and assuming 10 fuel/mat - Old fuel densities made this look much better, but this is still pretty good)



For 30 min, you would save 71.92 materials per volume lost to engine+fuel. You would need 215.57 more volume, but save 15,504 materials.

For 1 hour, you would save 178.63 materials per volume lost to engine+fuel. You would need 175.82 more volume, but save 31,406 materials.

For 3.21 hours, you would not have to sacrifice any volume. You would have the same volume and save 101,733.6 materials.

In 5 hours of campaign battles, you will save 158,624 materials from fuel minus the extra initial engine cost. (10/mat)



2T engines always struggled to maintain high PPF at low loads where popular 1T engines could still maintain 150-200PPF efficiency. Not a problem, finally. I had a breakthrough this morning when I was trying to create a low RPM 2T design while still having 25+PPBB like my current vehicles use. I am getting full efficiency at loads below 9%. It's called the Helix engine because the source of gas lines travel around the length of the engine like a helix. Each middle section added requires that you rotate it 90 degrees to the one before it.
