Question about UT power generators

raniE · 10-25-2009, 10:26 PM

How exactly do the semi-portable, portable and backpack fission, fusion and antimatter generators on p 20 of Ultra-Tech actually work? As far as I know, current fission reactors heat water to create steam, which then goes through a turbine and is converted into rotary motion. The ideas for fusion power seem to be the same and I would guess it would also be so for antimatter power generation. So, do the generators in Ultra-Tech differ in the way they produce electrical power, or would one always have to connect the UT-power generators to a water source before using them?
