This article only covers the history of Randrup's Generator. For Reimer's Prototype, please view this page.
The Reimer-Randrup Generator is method of renewable kinetic-energy generation using the heat of the earths core. It was initially conceptualised and tested by Erich Reimer in -52Ð and then modified into it’s current form by Emilia Randrup and her team after the creation of the Commonwealth.
History
Around 5Ð, lots of cities were getting desperate for higher power availability as well as less pollutive and quieter power sources, thus Emilia Randrup, by some called the greatest physicist of our time, made a team to invent a safe and renewable energy Generator based on Reimer's documents that were dug up in Stráskúr.
Over the next 2Ð she ran hundreds of calculations and made dozens of revisions until eventually, her team came up with a design that was considered safe. The first test of this new device was made in the old Thorildsby factory, where the Legeplads station is located. The operation was a total success, creating way more power than is necessary to run the entire Thorildsby Light Rail. Nowadays, the Commonwealth's entire power generation is handled by Reimer-Randrup Generators, standing in each of the cities' main power supplies.
Functionality
The functionality of Reimer's Prototype was pretty simple, by digging a hole deep into the ground one could harvest the heat trapped under the ground and use it to boil water and use it to power a steam engine. Unfortunately, during Reimer's second test of this procedure a massive earthquake occured, killing many animals and maybe also some Kalkduians. Appearently, two holes which are that deep can connect and form a crack underneath the earth as well as cause magma to flow out and change the terrain above. This incident is probably responsible for the so-called Butterknife Cliffs south of Lanborg.
Fixing this issue was one of the main tasks for Randrup and her team. Their final solution was it to fill the hole with a specially rigid metal grid, which still allows fluid to pass through without harming the very fragile underground. This metal grid is made to mimic the hardness properties of the stone that is being dug into, thus not radically changing the stone structure.
