Fiction:Scorpio Spikal Power

=Power= The Scorpio Spikal uses ecofriendly tools to power their homes and other buildings. Go here: Fiction:Scorpio Spikal Empire to learn more.

Wind Power
The Scorpio Spikal use wind power most frequently to power their homes. The planets they colonize are usually very windy, with winds up to 40 MPH. Their turbines often use neon motors to operate. The turbines often auto-maintain themselves. The turbines can detect winds as little as 4 MPH. These turbines can take up to 4 months to build and cost over 250,000 Sporebucks.

Solar Power
Sometimes the Scorpio Spikal will colonize a windless planet. Windless planets often have very little wind. Their only option of power is solar panels. The solar panels can detect sunlight of up to 5,000 AU away, with a maximum of 4x the amount of watts it would take to power a computer. The minimum is 0.75x the watts it would take to power a computer. Their computers also take 2.8x the amount of watts however, but the batteries have a filter to prevent overfill.

Fossil Fuels
The Scorpio Spikal may colonize a comet (or asteroid). Most are more than 6000 AU away from their sun, so they use iron, stone or nickel, use it as power, filter it, and put it back in its original location. There is also a cooler and a fan to prevent overheating.
