Talk:Ion Power Cell/@comment-24944625-20180214190411/@comment-39375434-20190506030200

I actually got some different results.

Here's my calculations:

You can travel 10 kilometers on a single power cell, and an Ion cell has 5x the energy of a power cell. That means you can go 50km off of a single ion cell. each ion cell is crafted using 2 Ion batteries, and each Ion battery is crafted using 1 Ion cube. So, Each ion cell takes a total of 2 Ion cubes to craft.

If (as the PDA says ) " Each cube contains the equivalent ionic energy of 5 kilotons of TNT", then each Ion cell contains 41,840,000,000,000 Joules of energy.

If a gallon of gasoline contains 120,000,000 Joules, then an ion cell contains the same amount of energy as 349,667 gallons of Gasoline.

This means that if the Seamoth used a gasoline engine instead of an electric engine, it's power consumtion requirements would mean it'd need a 350 thousand gallon tank million Gallon tank, and it's fuel Economy would be........

0.0000891 MPG. And at $2.56/Gallon, going 1 mile would cost $28,729.58

On the flip side, if you were to take an Ion cell and stick it to a modern day car, you could go 12.2 Million Miles before the battery died.
