PCM-AB1

Estimated Value C.

This modx reduces the electrical load of a shield by 2%, leaving the excess power to be diverted to other systems. Since most shield systems are high-pass filters, using only higher frequency electrical power, this system diverts the DC component of the EMF back to the main bus, boosting DC current to other devices.

PCM-AB2

Estimated Value C.

PCM-AB2 adds phase correction to the power delivery sysem of PCM-AB1, reulting in a 4% increase in all of the following: effective powerplant output, engine thrust, shield and capacitor recharge rates.

UNKNOWN

PCM-AB3

Estimated Value C.15 - 25 million

Another pre-collapse power distribution node, this model adds its own energy storage system to store unsed power for delviery during peak demand. Results: 6% increase in all of the following: effective powerplant output, engine thrust, shield and capacitor recharge rates.

UNKNOWN

PCM-AB4

Estimated Value C.35 - 50 Million

The best of class in power distribution modx, this system hass all the features of PCM-AB3, plus a system for recaptureing high frequency noise and delivering it as usable energy. This gives and awsome 9% improvement in effective powerplant output, engine thrust, shield and capacitor recharge rates.

PCM-PB1

Estimated Value C.

Another pre-collapse artifact that is based on directed force fields. In this case the force field is used to enhance the containment of the fusion reaction that provides the base energy source of any powerplant. This increases the power output of all known power plants by 3%.

PCM-PB2

Estimated Value C.

PCM-PB2 is the designation for this pre-collapse modx that is a precision flow regulator for deuterium as it is sent to be fused. This increases the output of a power plant by up to 5%.

PCM-PB3

Estimated Value C.05 - 1 million

Another extremely advanced pre-collapse technology, this device creates highly tuned magnetic fields that reduce the losses inside the photo-electric panels to near zero. These losses were due to unwanted recombination of electrons and holes inside the semi-conductor, resulting in waste heat. Without these losses, power output is increased by 8%

UNKNOWN

PCM-AE1

Estimated Value C.

Similar in function to PCM-AB devices, this device focuses on increasing the efficiency of engines, shields and capacitors by 3% by delivering power to each system only in the frequency range best used by that system.

PCM-AE2

Estimated Value C.

This device appears to improve upon the PCM-AE1 by capturing reflections in the transmission lines and converting them to usable power. The total result is a 4.5% improvement in efficiency of engines, shields and capacitors.

PCM-ESB

Estimated Value C.

This device bridges the power input systems of the engine and shield subsystems of a ship with a 'noise' frequency conversion device that coverts power to sine waves of usable frequency. This results in an efficiency gain of 5% for the engines and 2% for the shields.

PCM-RCM

Estimated Value C.

Again pre-collapse power conditioning technolgy is applied to a different set of subystems. This time for radar and ECM applications, this device reduces the power used by both subsystems by a moneumental 20%, due to the narrow power
requirements of these devices.

PCM-EB1

Estimated Value C.

Using a methodology that appears to be common to a number of pre-collapse artifacts, this system recaptures power that is lost during the recharge of zero-point energy barriers to improve shield recharge rate by 3%. This power normally would be lost as noise, but this device transfers the noise to the resonate frequency of the shield system.

PCM-EB2

Estimated Value C.

This device is a pre-collapse system that pulses power to the ionization chamber used in engines to ionize the exhaust mass. This increases the mass delivered to the acceleration stage of the engine, and thus the thrust from the engine goes up by about 5%. Of course the requires more power, as there is no free lunch.

PCM-EB3

Estimated Value C.

An artifact that is based on a very advanced (and unfortunately lost) technology that uses localized subspace fields to reduce the apparent mass of the particles in the acceleration stage of an engine. This results in a vastly increased exhaust velocity, and thus a huge 8% increase in thrust.

PCM-CB1

Estimated Value C.

This artifact is actually a cooling system that seems to be designed to attach to the metal layers of metal-dielectric-metal capacitors, thus increasing conductivity and the recharge rate by 3%.

PCM-CB2

Estimated Value C.

This device appears to be very similar to PCM-SB2 (with the exception that it is meant for capacitors) , meaning that it adjusts the voltage precisely to what is needed by a capacitor for maximum recharge rate, resulting in a 5% improvement.

PCM-CB3

Estimated Value C.

This artifact is a thermo-electric device that converts waste heat generated by the electrical current flowing into a capacitor into more energy thus recharging it 8% faster.
