The Mining Laser is a powerful high-tech tool with a variety of applications. It can be used as an insta-mining tool with a relatively low [[EU]] consumption, as well as a high-power AoE block remover, or even as a weapon. All blocks destroyed by the Laser are dropped, with the exception of non-drop blocks like Glass or Leaves. However, due to the destructive nature of the Laser, there is a chance that the block will be destroyed and not drop anything. IndustrialCraft machines drop a [[Machine]] block, as if they were destroyed by a pickaxe.

The Mining Laser has 5 different modes. These modes can be switched by holding the M key and right-clicking.

== Firing Modes ==

The Mining Laser can store 80,000 EU, which determines how many shots of each type can be fired. The block penetration distance depends on the hardness of the particular block. In this chart, block penetration is based on smoothstone and dirt. For explosive shots, the penetration radius denotes the radius of the explosion.

Jimbojim41: /* EU-Packet / Voltage */

[[EU]] means '''Energy Unit''' and is the unit for any energy-using machine. These Energy Units represent electricity within the game.

Industrial Craft has several types of generators that produce EUs, while the various machines use them.

EUs are in no way related to Redstone power.

== EU/t ==

[[EU]] is measured in '''EU/t''' which means [[EU]] '''per tick'''. There are 20 ticks per second.

It describes the amount of EU that flows trough a [[cable]] or trough EU consumers and emitters.

'''EU/t''' can be measured with an [[EC-Meter]].

== EU-Packet / Voltage ==

'''EU-Packets''' are the container of [[EU]]s. They represent voltage in IndustrialCraft.

EU-Packets come in different sizes ranging from 1 EU to 2048 EU.

There is no way to measure what size of packets travels through a [[cable]] or machine but they can be read from EU emitting blocks.

Emitters like generators, storage units and transformers can emit EU-Packets.

=== Emiters ===
* Generators emit packets as big as their output is.
* Storage Units always emit packets the size of their "out" value. They also serve as Transformers by always emitting a set EU-Packet size.
* Transformers behave like Storage Units. They additionally have the ability to convert EU Packets into other EU-Packets up and down.

=== Cables ===
[[Cable]]s can carry unlimited amounts of EU/t but only EU-Packets that are the same or below of their maximum Voltage. You can send unlimited amounts of 32 EU-Packets through a Copper cable but not a single 128 EU-Packet. The clue is that energy loss of a cable isn't connected to the total amount of EU/t but to every single packet. So sending 100 32 EU-Packets results in 100 times the energy loss of the cable where sending one 2048 EU-Packet only result in one time the energy loss of the cable. More on that in [[Cable#Voltage Efficiency|Voltage Efficiency]].
