An Organic Furnace is the name given by Terrans to a power-generating organ used by Drathonians to extract energy and other substances from Voranite. The Organ comes in a number of sizes, From tiny units that power handheld weapons, to enormous structures powering entire starships.
an Organic furnace is shaped similarly to a human heart, and functions both similarly and radically different. It can have several chambers, from a minimum of two to a maximum observed of sixteen, which work in tandem, The explosion created by one's reaction helping to compress the other chamber, causing it to react in turn. Organic Furnaces have several tubes going into an out of them, the number varying by the number of chambers and size, but there is always at least three per chamber: One feed tube, one tube to empty the chamber, and at least one other which contains organs or wires capable of transmitting the energy where it is needed.
Organic furnaces are always made out of organic, muscular material, and are coated inside with various substances that keep the voranite and the reaction from damaging the material. This material is used to both start, and control the reaction, and can be commanded to cause more or less power production depending on demands.
An Organic furnace is by no means clean, efficient, or effectively controlled, with the volatile nature of Voranite, and the organic nature of its construction. the furnaces are often dangerous, and are prone to burst when put under too much strain.
Organic furnaces have several uses:
