457 Utilization Efficiency Test

[Illager, Director of Memes]

 

Name: Illager

Rank: Lead Researcher

SCP: 457

Question: Can 457 produce a large amount of renewable energy via thermal energy?

Preferred Outcome: 457 will produce at least enough energy to power the average living room. 

Required escorts/Test Subjects: Security LCPL Curtis, Technician Xray 1, Technician Xray 01

Observation/Analysis: During construction of the thermal generator Xray 01 was killed due to blunt force trauma cause by a pipe flying towards him. Once the thermal generator was created, 457 was given fuel and ordered to burn it. Once it did, the thermal energy was converted into power via a generator. SCP-457 initially attempted to burn Xray 1, however was inhibited by his firesuit. Once informed, 457 backed away and Xray 1 was safely escorted out.

Energy/Item(s) Gained: A steady stream of approximately 6,300 watts, or enough to power a house for 24 hours. Power is being stored in a large battery for use in LCZ.

 

Addendum: The wattage from SCP-457 was compared to a standard issue oil generator. It was discovered that SCP-457's fuel efficiency was many times more efficient than a standard oil generator

This is a good idea, but there’s one particular thing that strikes me as odd. This test is not actually harvesting the energy from 457’s heat, per se. It’s stated in the document that fuel was given to 457 to burn. If this were the case, it wouldn’t matter how often we use 457, our limiting factor is not his ability, but the amount of fuel we have. However, this test was a good idea and demonstrates a solid understanding of Utilization and what it does. A big plus is that your sentence structure seems pretty solid. Keep brainstorming!

Thanks for the comment. I edited the document to emphasize the purpose of the test.
