-				<li>The supermatter crystal serves as the fundamental power source of the engine. Upon being charged, it begins to emit large amounts of heat and radiation, as well and oxygen and phoron gas. As oxygen accelerates the reaction, and phoron carries the risk of fire, these must be filtered out. NOTE: Supermatter radiation will not charge radiation collectors.</li>

As oxygen accelerates the reaction and reacts with phoron to start a fire, it must be filtered out. It's recommended to filter out all gases besides nitrogen for standard operation. </li>

-				<li>Air in the reactor chamber housing the supermatter is circulated through the reactor loop, which passes through the filters and thermoelectric generators. The thermoelectric generators transfer heat from the reactor loop to the colder radiator loop, thereby generating power. Additional power is generated from internal turbines in the circulators.</li>

 				<li>The MK 1 Prototype Thermoelectric Supermatter Engine is designed to operate at reactor temperatures of 3000K to 4000K and generate up to 1MW of power. Beyond 1MW, the thermoelectric generators will begin to lose power through electrical discharge, reducing efficiency, but additional power generation remains feasible.</li>
