Accumulette

An accumulette is an object that allows you to store Spark energy. This in turn allows devices requiring Spark energy, to run while not connected to a network. They come in various sizes, depending on the charge they must carry and the strength of the spark channelling.
While accumulettes come in many forms and for many functions, there are two distinct groups, chargeable and non-chargeable.

Non-chargeable

As an accumulette is used, its charge will diminish until nothing is left. At this point it needs to be replaced, if one wishes to continue using the device requiring Spark energy. Non-chargeables once depleted, no longer have any use and it is recommended to dispose of them immediately. If possible, return them to the producer so these can be disassembled and reused in the production of new accumulettes.
While non-chargeable accumulettes are technically not re-usable, they can hold higher chargers without running the risk of becoming unstable.

Chargeable

Chargeable accumulettes can, as the term indicates, be recharged. This is done by either onnecting the accumulette to another Spark source or through the means of a mechanical contraption that generates Spark. This is known as mechanical charging. The ability to re-use this type of accumulettes, carries a lower cost in the long term. However, these can't hold an as high charge, as the non-chargeables. These types become very unstable as the amount of charge increases, heating up and eventually combusting if they are overcharged.

The Petrian scientist Alonse Duburgy is seen as the inventor of the allumette. Duburgy was deeply facinated with the Spark principle and he did not only spend time on researching ways to store this kind of energy, he his also considered a founder of the research into Spark Induction and Aero-conductors.

In recognition of his work, the strength of a Spark discharge is named after him. A household Spark network usually works between 2-2,5 Dbg (Duburgies), with industrial installations hosting networks up to 25 Dbg.
