View source for Fusion-and-Fission Engine

A [[Fusion-and-Fission Engine]] (or an [[F&F Engine]]) is the technology that most modern spacecraft use for power.

[[F&F Engines]] allow for the fusion and fission of atoms and particles and converts the reactions into energy that is used by whatever it is hooked up to.  [[F&F Engines]] can create fusion and fission reactions of the same particles, and this typically happens in cycles, rather than at the same time.

[[F&F Engines]] have a [[Fusion Cycle]] and a [[Fission Cycle]].  If for some reason either cycle creates more energy than needed at the time, the excess energy is stored in a large battery and released when one cycle creates less energy than needed.  The battery is a part of an [[F&F Engine]], and is vital to sustaining energy output.  The battery is essentially a conductor and regulator for power output as well as keeping the engine stable.

[[F&F Engines]] use almost any type of matter and break it down into energy.
