The flexible one are flat polymer power cells that are used for powering clothes, printed computers, and similar devices. They are attached like stamps and peeled off when exhausted. Gadgets noted as using flexible cells use them instead of normal power cells; they’re also embedded into smart labels, smart paper, and similar disposable items. Flexible cells are double the cost of regular cells. | The flexible one are flat polymer power cells that are used for powering clothes, printed computers, and similar devices.

- | + | Fission Generators (TL9): Fission reactors produce power by splitting the nucleus of heavy fissionable elements such as uranium. The reactor and electric generator designs available at TL9 are much more compact and far less expensive than TL7-8 reactors. (They are still heavy, due to the shielding required.) A typical semi-portable system fits in a truck bed, and provides external power for five years before maintenance and refueling (50% of cost). It produces up to 2.5 MW. $100,000, 450 kg. LC2 | |

Fusion Generators (TL10): When fusion reactors first appear at TL9, they are gigantic installations that require heavy radiation shielding and frequent maintenance. At TL10+ fusion reactors produce less radiation (due to the use of harder-to-ignite but more efficient aneutronic fusion reactions) and are significantly lighter. | Fusion Generators (TL10): When fusion reactors first appear at TL9, they are gigantic installations that require heavy radiation shielding and frequent maintenance.
