The Large Hydrogen Thruster is a thruster for mobile grids designed to run on hydrogen. Also have a look at the smaller Hydrogen Thruster.
You can build the Industrial Large Hydrogen Thruster variant (same recipe and functionality) of this block if you have purchased the Heavy Industry Pack.
Usage
The advantage of Hydrogen Thrusters is that they work equally well in atmosphere as in space. Their disadvantage is that they consume fuel at a very high rate, and the necessary hydrogen tanks are bulky and explosive. For example, use large hydrogen thrusters in one direction to allow planetary lift-off.

Construction
The Large Hydrogen Thruster has four conveyor ports on each of the four sides perpendicular to the nozzle, and a conveyor port on the side opposite the nozzle.
The thruster requires Hydrogen to operate and can receive it through a powered conveyor system from a Hydrogen Tank. See Hydrogen Thrusters for more specifics. As all thrusters, large hydrogen thrusters cause damage to blocks up to 6 blocks length in front of the flame.
