==== Principles ====
Hyper-Nob bombs are made using their formation reaction, which when unmoderated by BZ releases a lot of energy. This formation involves [[File:N2_Canister.png]] Nitrogen and also [[File:Tritium.png]] Tritium

There are a few notable properties about this reaction:
# Can only occur below 15 Kelvins
# Consumes nitrogen at twice the rate of tritium. Moderated by BZ but we will not include BZ in this mix at all so it's safe to ignore.
# The consumption rate for Nitrogen is equal to 10% of the pooled Nitrogen + Tritium mole count. Tritium consumption is half of this.

Since this reaction occurs on very low temperatures and is incredibly exothermic, <b> it will only happen on one tick</b>. This means we will need to make the first tick occur with as much reaction rate as we can.

If we pay attention to how the reaction rate works with the mole consumption, we can see that we will not need to fill the payload with 50% Tritium as this is incredibly wasteful. It is possible to pad out the reaction with Nitrogen to drive the reaction rate high enough so that all of our tritium is consumed, netting us the most tritium-efficient Hyper-Nob burn possible.

This ratio works out to be 95-5 Nitrogen-Tritium. The burn will consume Nitrogen equal to 10% of the total mole count and more importantly Tritium equal to 5% of the total mole count, leaving us with a full Tritium consumption. Most of the Nitrogen will be left unreacted, but the station has an abundance of Nitrogen so it should be relatively easy to replenish it.
