This Catalog brings contains machines for the Production, Storage, and Transmission of Energy.

Gather Energy from the environment (turbines, solar, bio reactors) or use Alterra’s concentrated Bio Fuel, store it for the base with PowerStorage or in batteries and power-cells with the Universal Charger, and send it where it’s needed by creating a global distribution web with the Alterra Telepower Pylon.

Stake your claim on a bit of ocean with the Alterra Wind Surfer and built up to 15 open air platforms or floating turbines that can send energy to any receiving Telepower Pylon.

Alterra Gen

Smaller and more flexible than its larger predecessors, several Alterra Gen units may be comfortably fit into a single Multi-Purpose Habitat Module. They are also suitable for exterior use, giving you maximum design flexibility and reducing the required interior space….

JetStream T242

The JetStream T242 is an aquatic turbine. Like all turbine generators, the energy produced is related to the current flow. Expect energy output to vary in different areas and to fluctuate if your environment has variable currents. The T242 will sense and adapt to changes in current direction, maximizing current flow.

Universal Charger

The practical answer to your mobile power needs, holding 10 Power Cells or 10 Batteries at a time and recharging them when Base Power is plentiful.

Learn More

Power Storage

Fully automatic and self-monitoring, the PowerStorage unit is able to store a whopping 10,000 units of energy an external housing unit. The unit charges when power is plentiful and discharges when the base grid is under extreme load.

AlterraGen

Features

Compact Size
Interior or Exterior Placement
Bin-based Operation

Smaller and more flexible than its larger predecessors, several Alterra Gen units may be comfortably fit into a single Multi-Purpose Habitat Module. (NB: Alterra Health and Safety recommends housing no more than seven units in a multipurpose room, though it will house eight in emergencies — and if you’ve been skipping dessert).

The Alterra Gen is environmentally sealed and suitable for exterior use, giving you maximum design flexibility and reducing the required interior space.

Like all bioreactors, Alterra Gen chemically composts organic materials, converting them into energy over time, proportional to the calories in the organic matter. Alterra Gen can accept all plant matter, from seeds and spores to moldy fruits and vegetables, and will process most animal matter (fat, muscle, eggs, etc) and some organic waste products.

From the interface, biomatter is loaded into one of 9 composting bins. Each biomatter item will be placed in its own composting bin for tailored bio-reaction.

Nota Bene: the bins can adapt to hold large or small items within the unit. Test your biological items in your local environment for optimal results. The interface will let you observe which biomatter objects are currently being composted.

JetStream T242

Features

Changes Orientation with Current for Maximum Efficiency
Operates at Any Depth

The JetStream T242 builds on earlier designs of fluid-current turbines. Like all turbine generators, the energy produced is related to the current flow. Expect energy output to vary in different areas and to fluctuate if your environment has variable currents. The T242 will sense and adapt to changes in current direction, maximizing current flow.

Universal Charger

Features

Charge 10 Batteries (Any Type)
Charge 10 PowerCells (Any Type)
Charges when Base Power is Plentiful

The practical answer to your mobile power needs, holding 10 Power Cells or 10 Batteries at a time and recharging them when Base Power is plentiful.

The high-contrast display keeps you constantly informed of each item’s recharge state so you can always grab a full Battery or Power Cell, even when you’re in a hurry.

Power Storage

Features

Stores 10,000 Energy
Exterior Construction
Only Charges when Base Power is Plentiful
Variable Charging Rate (see Mod Options)

The Alterra PowerStorage Advanced is the next evolution in Power Overload Protection, able to deliver a whopping 10,000 units of energy storage in a maintenance-free, external housing unit.

Operation is fully automatic and self-monitoring, charging when power is plentiful and discharging when the base grid is under extreme load. Charging rate is 60-energy-per-minute but the rate can be changed in Mod Options.

Technical data will be projected to your always-up display when near the PowerStorage unit but it’s charge level is viewable from a distance from the vertical fill level display and color of the virtual particles. Colors will range from Deep Red when discharged to Bright Green when fully charged.

Alterra Solar Cluster

Features

Alterra SunChaser Technology for optimal Solar Tracking.
Energy Delivery of 13 Solar Panels
Submerged and Atmospheric Operation

The Alterra Solar Cluster is the latest in efficient photon conversion, giving you a reliable, maintenance free power source anywhere the sun goes. Built with Alterra SunChaser technology, the Solar Cluster not only tracks the strongest solar source for optimal energy output, but can respond even when normal operations are powered down.

For optimal results, the Alterra Solar Cluster should be constructed in direct sunlight and clear atmosphere; however, the Alterra Solar Cluster can operate in harsh and aquatic environments as well.

Power throughput is equivalent to 13 standard, optimally placed solar panels. Internal storage is equal to almost 15 Power Cells. It is strongly recommended that the Alterra Solar Cluster be paired with one or more Alterra PowerStorage units (see Energy > PowerStorage) depending on dusk-to-dawn energy requirements.

Alterra Telepower Pylon

Features

Send or Receive Power of Any Distance
Connect to Multiple Senders
Send to Multiple Receivers
2 Connection Upgrades

The Alterra Telepower Pylon is able to create, dismantle, and recreate power delivery networks in seconds while delivering power over vast distances and through nearly any material.

Each Alterra Telepower Pylon can operate in one of two mods:

In Push Mode, the tower will send, but not receive, power.
In Pull Mode, the tower will receive, but not send, power.

The MK1 Interconnection Module is supplied with every Alterra Telepower Pylon and allows for the Telepower Pylon to have 6 connections. Two upgrade modules are available:

Telepower MK2 Upgrade: allows up to 8 connections
Telepower MK3 Upgrade: allows up to 10 connections

Power Network Architecture Note: Power delivery is ‘virtually’ lossless, there is some energy cost for signal stability. This cost is 0.00085 energy per second for each meter of distance for each pulling pylon. At 1000 meters, this cost is 51 energy per minute — the equivalent of a standard Water Filter device.

Bio-Fuel

Features

Suitable for All Bio-Reactors
Shelf-Stable for Prolonged Storage

Bioreactors are a safe, environmentally friendly way to generate power. Just throw in whatever biological matter you have on hand and out comes power. But somehow, it’s never that easy. Biological material is messy, can be time-consuming to harvest or catch, and be unwieldy to lug around and cram into the bioreactor’s material input port.

Not so with Alterra Bio Fuel.

High-quality, compressed biological material in an easy to carry, stylish container. Suitable for all bioreactors and available at your fingertips from the Alterra Hub.

What’s it made of? Don’t even think about it: just throw the entire container in the bioreactor. No mess, no smell, no hassle.

…and, seriously, don’t worry (it’s nobody you knew)

Wind Surfer

Features

Operator
Platform
Turbine

The Alterra Wind Surfer is a system of floating platforms with optional Wind Turbines for power generation.

The Alterra Wind Surfer system consists of three parts:

Operator: Control center for the Wind Surfer containing an integrated Telepower Pylon. From here you configure the layout of the Alterra Wind Surfer Platforms and Turbines and monitor its operations. Each Alterra Wind Surfer Operator can control 15 Wind Surfer modules.

Platform: An open, out-door building space.

Turbine: An open, out-door building space with an integrated wind turbine.

The Alterra Wind Surfer is fully paintable. Painting the Operator will propagate those colors to ALL Wind Surfer modules. Individual Wind Surfer modules can then be custom painted if desired.
