Power Transmitter

 | Property | Details |-| :--- | :--- |+| --- | --- | | **Type** | Exterior Facilities | | **Category** | Power | | **Description** | Extends the range of a power source. Exploits the Tamura-Murai process to transmit high-frequency current through ionized seawater. | | **Fragments Required** | 1 |   ![Power Transmitter](Power Transmitter.png)  -The **Power Transmitter**, also known as the "Vaporway Wireless Power Pylon", is an energy-relaying Exterior Facility used to manage power distribution in Subnautica 2.+The **Power Transmitter**, also known as the "Vaporway Wireless Power Pylon", is an energy-relaying Exterior Facility used to manage power distribution for Seabases.   ## Recipe  -The blueprint for the Power Transmitter is unlocked by scanning fragments. It is crafted using the Habitat Builder.+The blueprint for the Power Transmitter is unlocked by scanning one fragment. It can be crafted using the Habitat Builder.   | Ingredient | Amount |-| :--- | :--- |+| --- | --- | | Titanium | 1 | | Copper | 1 |   ## Purpose  -Power Transmitters serve two main functions:+Power Transmitters serve two primary functions in base building:  -1.  **Range Extension**: They extend the range of energy-producing Exterior Facilities by 20 meters. Unlike Beacons, Power Transmitters require line of sight to one another to establish a connection.-2.  **Generator Connection**: They are strictly required to connect a Seabase to detached power generators, such as **Hydroelectric Turbines** and **Thermal Plants**, which do not connect to Seabases directly.+1.  **Extending Range**: They extend the effective range of energy-producing Exterior Facilities by 20 meters. Unlike Beacons, Power Transmitters require a direct line of sight to one another to establish a connection.+2.  **Connecting Detached Generators**: They are required to harness energy from **Hydroelectric Turbines** and **Thermal Plants**. These generators do not connect directly to Seabases; a Power Transmitter must be built attached to the Seabase to bridge the connection.  -## Fragments+## Fragments & Locations   One fragment is required to unlock the blueprint.

Chaining multiple pylons together allows for effectively lossless power transmission across hundreds of meters. > > Underwater, the Vaporway exploits the Tamura-Murai capacitative coupling process to send current through ionized seawater. > > - Build near power supplies or other power transmitters to extend their range > - Required to connect bases to detached generators, such as hydroelectric turbines > > Avoid the clearly marked beam path. Do not spend prolonged periods in the beam. Despite the significant protection of your AEP suit, the results can be fatal. > > *Source: Unlock the Power Transmitter blueprint*   ## Trivia  -*   The "Tamura-Murai capacitative coupling process" mentioned in the databank refers to a real-world method of wireless power transfer through seawater developed by Japanese researchers Masaya Tamura and Kousuke Murai, originally created to wirelessly charge marine drones.+*   The "Tamura-Murai capacitative coupling process" mentioned in the databank refers to a real-world method of wireless power transfer through seawater developed by Japanese researchers Masaya Tamura and Kousuke Murai.
