 Nitryl (formerly Brown Gas) speeds you up - pretty good until the acid eats your lungs.
-The result of heating Oxygen and Nitrogen to approximately 22500K at a 1:1 ratio, with at least 5 moles of N2O. Higher heat improves efficiency.

 Radioactive, flammable gas that is used in plenty of chemical reactions. Created by heating loadsa O2 with Plasma. Also, radiation collectors convert plasma into this. Tritium, though not naturally radioactive, releases radiation when it is burned. Might not want to put this into any engine unless you plan to set it on fire.

 Waste Gas of the Stormdrive and AGCNR that makes good coolant and sells for quite a bit when exporting it. The generation of nucleium is dependent on the number of moles in the input in case of the AGCNR. For the stormdrive, it down to the amount of fuel, Rate of reaction and the produced power.

 So you want to operate a fusion reactor? Well, it's about as dangerous as it sounds. Fusion has been redesigned several times and is currently on '''version 6:''' [https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/42748 "Chaos Hyper-Torus Edition"]. <br>

 *'''Basic mechanics''' of fusion:
 Plasmic fusion fuses carbon dioxide and plasma together and creates a big amount of energy as well as converting tritium into other "waste" gases.
 CO2 and plasma get consumed by this reaction at the same rate.
 *The most crucial factor for good fusion, however, is '''Instability''':
 The maximum Instability of a fusion reaction is determined by the volume of the gas network the fusion occurs in; A good rule of thumb is that for a canister of 1000L this maximum number is exactly 2*pi or around 6.283. With higher volume, the number increases, while it decreases with less volume. The Instability of the fusion always starts at 0 and will count up or time until it turns over to 0 again (like a clock).
 It depends on the tritium and other fusion power gases in the mix how fast the Instability rises or falls. (the fusion power gases are still the same as in version 5)
 *Now the important part: If the instability is between 0 and 2 the fusion reaction is '''exothermic''', meaning it'll heat itself up. If it is between 2 and the maximum however it will be '''endothermic''' and cool down, this can end your fusion and leave you with a 2,7 Kelvin cold canister.
 If the reaction is exothermic it will also convert tritium to oxygen and nitrous oxide, while in the endothermic state it produces nytril and bz. Other byproducts will form simply through the existence of these gases; they are the formation of stimulum as nytril will convert to stimulus if enough tritium, plasma and bz are available and hypernobillium will form from trit and nitrogen.
