-Greetings engineers. shut your holes from screaming with this ABOMINATION of an engine atmosia has brought here. FOR I. MACREED BENDS. WILL TEACH YOU.
+The Thermo-Electric Generator (TEG) is an atmospherics based generator that operates on the simple principle of cold air loop plus hot air loop equals power. As long as the set up is appropriate, the TEG's output will scale up and can make anywhere between almost no power to enough power to satisfy the energy draw of 1000 space stations.

 =TEG Fundamentals=
-The Thermo-Electric Generator is a simple engine but wouldn't start from poor understanding of my predecessor's poor documentation. This engine uses two things. hot and cold gas (hot and cold side of circulators), to generate energy. in order to make more power you need to scale both hot gas and cold gas in difference through the two circulators. Usually, what limits this is the engine setup and a great difference in gas temperature. An unmodified engine you will usually run into the biggest problem.
+The Thermo-Electric Generator is a simple engine. This engine uses hot and cold gas (hot and cold circulators) to generate energy. To make more power, you will need to scale the hot and cold gasses and maintain the temperature difference between them. The limiting factor being how the engine is set up and having too great of a difference in gas temperature. An unmodified engine will usually lead you into the biggest problem: clogs.
-'''CLOGS!!'''
+Clogging happens when gasses in the hot loop gets too hot for pumps to handle. Pumps (and valves) are limiters to this engine, pressure pumps clog the easiest because they pass little, precise amounts of fuel. Volume pumps fare better but will also eventually clog. Though there does exist a limitless pump, the documentation for it can be found [[Thermo-Electric Generator optimizations|here]].

+''NOTE: You can't have straight pipes all the way around because gas would not flow and would just stay still.''
-''NOTE: you can't have straight pipes all the way around because gas wouldn't move''
+'''<u>If you plan to leave the engine unmodified, you will want to have a small amount of gas flowing in the hot loop</u>'''. As due to physics, gas pressure will increase as temperature increases and it will decrease as temperature decreases.
-'''<u>if to be left unmodified then you want to have little amounts of gas flowing in the hot loop</u>'''. because of basic science. as you heat gasses, they expand, which increases pressure. however, when cooling gas shrinks, which decreases pressure.
