Energy Core Unit

An Energy Core Unit, or an ECU, is a very advanced and complex device that handles the enormous streams of energy that flow through high-energy systems and divides it over the system. It is designed to be replacable so only the ECU has to be replaced, and not the entire system. It usually lasts about 6-7 years before wearing out.

An ECU is usually made from aferrium wires, a type of super strong High Temperature Superconductors (HTS). Aferrium works as a superconductor at temperatures of -74 °C, making it the best HTS known. Aferrium is also very strong and durable, making it the only material that can last more then a few months in an ECU. The aferrium components are cooled using refrigium (RFG), which is a special refrigerant that absorbs enormous amounts of energy before melting. It has a melting point of 180 K and is especially used to cool systems to a temperature between 180 (-93.15 °C) and 200 K (-73.15 °C), making it extremely effective for cooling aferrium. Once it melts it can easily be transported away into a cooling room and be solidified again so the process can be repeated.

Non-conductive parts of the ECU are usually manufactured from cagnium.

Components
The aferrium core is the place were all energy comes together and it consists of a large chunk of superconducting aferrium. ''The AEDS is the system of superconducting aferrium cables that divide the enormous amounts of energy into smaller amounts that are less damaging to wiring.  The RCS is a cooling system that makes sure the aferrium stays beneath 200 K so it remains superconductive.'' ''The GES is an energy storage system for temporary storage of energy so it can be used later. The GES wears out significantly faster than the rest of the ECU (usually after about 10 months) and has to be replaced more often (it is also the cheapest part of the ECU).''
