The coefficient for the constant power output.
ACCUMULATOR_PROPORTIONAL_COEFFICIENT
The coefficient of the proportionate power output. Doesn't change output total, lower numbers just increases the smoothing - taking longer to ramp up, and longer to drop away. 4% means an accumulator, when starting up for the first time:
- emits 50% of what is being received after 40 seconds
- emits 90% of what is being received after two minutes
- emits 99% of what is being received after four minutes after having stored energy for at least 4-5 minutes, then dropping input to nothing:
- emits 50% of what was previously being received after 40 seconds
- emits 25% of what was previously being received after 79 seconds
- emits 10% of what was previously being received after two minutes
- emits 1% of what was previously being received after four minutes
