The experimental coolant pods are under development among all the [[Inner Sphere]] and [[Clans]] factions. Examples produced by the [[NAIS]] "Project Power Flush" are functionally identical to prototypes developed by the [[Scientist Caste]]s on the [[Clan Homeworlds]], but all have been so far unable to overcome the disadvantages of what makes them work so well and so fast: pressurized coolant.<ref name="TOp303+"/>

Coolant pods are highly susceptible to weapons fire; a fully pressurized pod will rupture and cause internal damage in the same manner of an ammunition explosion if struck. To avoid overpressurizing and damaging the coolant systems of the equipped 'Mech, for safety reasons only one pod can be engaged at a time, though multiple pods can be carried. The violent release of coolant is damaging enough to the strained cooling systems of conventional BattleMechs, but the fragile modular coolant systems aboard [[OmniMech|OmniMechs]] are even more vulnerable, consistently failing under the strain despite years of research by the Clans.<ref name="TOp303+"/>
