The VRSG fuel lasts as long as COAL, but burns > 59% hotter, meaning it generates that much more energy, and thus making it that much more efficient than COAL. The only major drawback is that handling VRSG is extremely difficult and dangerous. Enjoy!

    The VRSG is a gas. it has a larger contact area and more of it burns at any given time.

    Perhaps the specific heat of VRSG is just lower than that of coal? If we are going to go by conservation of energy (which is silly in TPT, but eh) then eating coal with virs puts energy into thee system, which doesn't seem right.

    Awesome! maybe we will see vrsg powered things soon. :)

    Update: Slight changes to the COAL container making the starting conditions more similar. It allowed for more accurate temperature measurements, thus also updated the description to fit the new data.
