Description

The mini thruster generates thrust through the combustion of liquid fuel with liquid oxygen. It can handle both CH4 (methane) and H2 (hydrogen) as its fuel, but it requires a pre-mixed fuel-oxidizer combination.
It can produce up to 18 KN of thrust from a flow rate of 1 Kg/s of pre-mixed LOX and H2.

Usage

Connect high flow oxydizer and fuel to the fluid ports, low voltage for ignition, and send 1 in the data port to ignite.

When the fuel is H2, the optimal flow ratio is 8:1 (LOX:H2) and ratio of < 1:1 may result in a flame out (no combustion). When the fuel is CH4, the optimal flow ratio is 4:1 (LOX:CH4) and ratio of < 1:1 may result in a flame out (no combustion).

The igniter does not need to be kept on once combustion has begun, although it's a good idea to leave it on in case of a flame out. Ignition consumes 100 watts continuously when on.
