How To Charge A Jetpack From Mekanism

Charging a jetpack from Mekanism is a straightforward process that requires just a few machines and materials. In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting up an efficient hydrogen generation and charging system for your Mekanism jetpack. Whether you’re playing on ATM9 or another modpack, this method works as a reliable starter solution that doesn’t demand excessive power infrastructure.

Required Materials and Machines

To charge your Mekanism jetpack, you’ll need the following:

Essential Components

Electrolytic Separator (the main machine for hydrogen generation)

Basic Universal Cable (for power transmission)

Electric Pump (for water extraction)

Mechanical Pipe (for water transport)

Power source (can be any energy cube or generator)

Water source

Mekanism Jetpack

Crafting the Electrolytic Separator

The Electrolytic Separator is relatively simple to craft, especially in modpacks like ATM9. The recipe requires infused alloy, redstone, and other basic materials. This machine is designed to be a starter-friendly item, making it accessible early in your gameplay progression.

Setting Up Your Hydrogen Generation System

Step 1: Power Your Electrolytic Separator

Begin by powering your Electrolytic Separator. You can use any power source—a Creative Energy Cube works well for testing, but any generator or energy cube will suffice. Since this is a starter item, it doesn’t require large amounts of power to operate efficiently.

Step 2: Connect the Basic Universal Cable

Place a Basic Universal Cable to connect your power source to the Electrolytic Separator. This cable will transmit energy from your power source directly into the machine.

Step 3: Set Up the Water Input System

Install your Electric Pump near a water source. This pump will extract water that will be fed into the Electrolytic Separator. Connect a Mechanical Pipe from the pump to the top of the Electrolytic Separator to allow water to flow into the machine.

Power the Electric Pump from the back side, ensuring it has the energy needed to extract and transport water.

Step 4: Add Your Water Source

Place water underneath or adjacent to your pump setup. The water will be automatically extracted and transported into the Electrolytic Separator, where it will be processed into hydrogen and oxygen.

Managing Oxygen Output

When the Electrolytic Separator processes water, it produces both hydrogen and oxygen. Since you primarily need hydrogen for your jetpack, you’ll want to manage the oxygen output.

Dumping Excess Oxygen

On the right-hand side of the Electrolytic Separator, you’ll find a button that allows you to dump excess oxygen. Press this button to configure the machine to void any excess oxygen once storage capacity is reached. This ensures the machine continues generating hydrogen without interruption.

Charging Your Jetpack

Once your hydrogen generation system is running smoothly, it’s time to charge your jetpack.

Inserting Your Jetpack

Take your Mekanism Jetpack and place it into the hydrogen slot of the Electrolytic Separator. The machine will automatically begin charging the jetpack with the stored hydrogen it’s generating.

Monitoring Charge Progress

Watch as your jetpack’s hydrogen storage fills up. The charging process is automatic and will continue as long as the Electrolytic Separator has power and water available.

Using Your Charged Jetpack

Once fully charged, equip your jetpack and take to the skies. Simply jump while wearing the jetpack, and you’ll activate the hydrogen-powered flight system. The jetpack will consume hydrogen fuel as you fly, providing you with reliable aerial mobility throughout your world.

Summary

Charging a Mekanism jetpack is an efficient and beginner-friendly process. By setting up an Electrolytic Separator with a water supply, power source, and oxygen dump valve, you create a self-sustaining hydrogen generation system. Simply place your jetpack in the hydrogen slot, wait for it to charge, and you’re ready to explore your world from the skies. This starter-level setup provides everything you need to fuel your aerial adventures in Mekanism.
