Nitroglycerin
Nitroglycerin is a liquid fuel from Voluminous Energy. It is burned in the Combustion Generator and the Gas Furnace, and can fuel multitools in the Tooling Station.
This page describes Voluminous Energy 0.5 (Alpha 2).

Nitroglycerin is the most energy-dense fuel in Voluminous Energy.
As a fuel
Combustion Generator
Nitroglycerin is rated at 234 FE/t. The Combustion Generator burns 250 mB at a time for 1,600 ticks, so a bucket lasts 6,400 ticks. The oxidizer multiplies the output:
| Oxidizer | FE/t | FE per bucket of Nitroglycerin |
|---|---|---|
| Compressed Air (uses 250 mB per burn) | 234 | 1,497,600 |
| Oxygen (uses 125 mB per burn) | 468 | 2,995,200 |
| Dinitrogen Tetroxide (uses 25 mB per burn) | 936 | 5,990,400 |
Gas Furnace
In the Gas Furnace, 250 mB of Nitroglycerin lasts 23,400 ticks, enough to smelt 117 items (468 items per bucket) without an upgrade.
