The RAMPER AS340 was a highly advanced computing program developed by Advanian science and computing engineer Derata Clempeter.
Design[]
The RAMPER AS340 was designed by Advanian science and computing engineer Derata Clempeter in 3,300 BBY as a processor to run plasma advertising signs and non-holographical screens. This was intended to prevent circuit burnouts caused by overheating or over-processing in the common 5,000-watt tubed CNL S1. Because newer methods of designs were being used, old original power units were not replaced, and the new lights used more power which overruns the capacitor.
The CNL's wattage was set to hold only 5,000 watts of power, which was enough to run two or three moderate dwellings. However, the RAMPER's design had enough room for over 500,000 watts of power, and a mistake in the design let only 340,000 watts pass through the transformer. This meant that there was a 80% less chance of a dangerous overload.
Another unique feature on the RAMPER was that, instead of using petroleum transformers, it used a tube of WP called the RAMP Chamber which copper-like wires wrapped around to form a generator. A pump that used about 5,000 watts pumped air into a piston, which turned the magnet in the RAMP Chamber. This added additional wattage to the output wattage, hence why they called it the RAMPER. The RAMPER put out more power than it took in.
Variants[]
The RAMPER was also used in ships; with several major upgrades, the RAMPER AS340 was numbered the RAMPER AS550. Sold as the latter name, it was available to purchase to power large computers on ships without using the power for other functions without any power deficiency.
Another RAMPER model was made for pumping oxygen into living quarters from the life support tanks. Instead of using an actual RAMP Generator, however, it used the RAMP Pump to pump the air. The RAMPER LF Series was the only group of RAMPER models that was all electronically-run. The AS Series was all mechanical.
