The Radbolt Chamber is a Radbolt storage device.

Unlike a Radbolt Generator, which draws Radbolts from a high Radiation environment and launches them immediately as soon as it reaches a set capacity (between 50 and 500), the Radbolt Chamber can store twice as many Radbolts (up to 1,000) indefinitely, instead controlling its discharge via Automation. It also consumes one quarter the energy (120W instead of 480W) and generates one quarter the heat while powered, making it a far more reliable way of storing accumulated Radbolts while waiting for your dupes to get around to Materials Study Terminal research, or a Radbolt Engine-powered rocket to return home.

The downsides are it can't generate its own Radbolts, requiring generators to fill it up, and the discharge direction can't be changed - it only ever fires straight up, forcing practical design considerations before being built.
