Cold-gas thruster
Nozzles firing × gas available × thrust per nozzle (mode 0, N), or the mass flow that thrust costs at the effective exhaust velocity (mode 1, kg/s). Thrust is per nozzle at the supplied state; a tank blow-down is composed upstream by scaling the nozzle count with a Power law of the gas left.

Behavior
Nozzles firing × gas available × thrust per nozzle (mode 0, N), or the mass flow that thrust costs at the effective exhaust velocity (mode 1, kg/s). Thrust is per nozzle at the supplied state; a tank blow-down is composed upstream by scaling the nozzle count with a Power law of the gas left.
Interface
| Name | Direction | Unit | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
Nozzles firing | input | — | Number; Scalar; real. Received from a connected producer. |
Gas available (0 or 1) | input | — | Number; Scalar; real. Received from a connected producer. |
Thrust | output | N | Force; Scalar; real. Produced for connected consumers. |
Mass flow | output | kg/s | Mass flow; Scalar; real. Produced for connected consumers. |
Signal inputs
These directed signals carry information. Conserving terminals exchange the quantities of their physical domain.
Signal outputs
Outputs can supply compatible inputs. Connections and values are inspected in the model that owns them.

Current authoring interface provenance
The interactive graphic is exported from the same Studio help descriptor. Source base: e248d21a9902225f1075624f23e7628b54cdb7cc. File content hashes in the public descriptor catalog identify the exact source snapshot. Existing numerical checks above retain their own verification scope.
