Lanternium Turbine Engine

Name:  Lanternium Turbine Engine 
Faction:  Imperial Union Of Planets 
Notes:  Originally created for a school science fair, Alexandrina Tesla-Einstein Pletikosa’s Lanternium turbine engine allows many endoatmospheric vehicles to be both more fuel efficient and greener for the environment.  By taking advantage of Lanturnium’s rechargeable nature, the vehicle can travel farther on less fuel.
Pletikosa’s original design wasn’t that groundbreaking.  All she did was enclose a basic turbine within a custom, home made cylindrical Lanternium power cell for the science fair.  When given funding, she took this prototype and swapped in more up-to-date components.  However, the lack of exoatmospheric capabilities means Lanternium turbines are not in direct competition with plasma turbine engines.
Currently, the turbine can be initiated by any number of the Union’s power supply technologies, a portion of the rotary energy is bled off into the Lanternium sheath.  Even if not fully charged, the Lanternium can be used to keep the turbine spinning.
