This device can do it. Everything.

The ''MultiFunctionalElectric Transmitter'' is necessary for any big industrial workspace using cables and current. Why? Now, let me tell you of the amazing number of uses:

First of all, it can link up multiple lanes into a single one. How to do that? Any cable linked to the ''MFE'' will transmit energy into it. However, the ''MFE'' itself will as well '''EMIT''' energy. Only on it's top and botton, though.

This means, you can effectively wire in up to '''FOUR''' cables, all charging the ''MFE'', which can then power a single cable with full force. Amamamazing!
Even more, the ''MFE'' contains an integrated '''ENERGY STORAGE'''. Yes,that's right, it can effectively contain an amount of energy, compareable to '''MULTIPLE [[RE_Battery|RE BATTERIES]]'''.
How to fill this storage if the ''MFE'' is emitting energy constantly, you ask? Just link it with some redstone. Redstone will act as trigger and upon applied, will cause the ''MFE'' to stop emitting electric current.

But even better, for the unbelieveable case you managed to '''FULLY LOAD''' the ''MFE'', it will emit current, regardless of placed redstone. This was done for the sake of preventing energy from getting wasted in uebercharged ''MFE'' 's.

Last but not least, the ''MFE'' can act as an energy up- & download station in vast networks. You can easyly pop an empty battery in the upper slot and (given the ''MFE'' has enough energy in store) it will be charged '''IN MERE SECONDS'''. As well, you can put charged Batterys into the lower slot to decharge the battery and load up the ''MFE'' 's storage.
That's technology, isn't it, HAYO!

'''Storage:''' 60,000 [[EU]]

'''Output:''' 32 [[EU]]/s by default, can be changed from 1 [[EU]]/s to 64 [[EU]]/s with an [[EC Manipulator]]

== Known Bugs ==

The MFE Transmitter is known to misreport its current and maximum charge in multiplayer.

The maximum charge is misreported as 3,000,000 by the interface, although the device itself maintains the correct capacity of 60,000 EU.

The current charge displays the correct number up to 32,767 EU, after which point it suffers an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow integer overflow] and reports a large negative charge. A fully-charged MFE Transmitter will claim to have a charge of -5,536. Thus if one must know the exact charge held by an MFE Transmitter displaying a negative charge, the true value may be found by '''adding 32,768''' to the displayed figure.

The red bar illustrating percentage charge, due to the over-large maximum value shown by the interface, always appears empty.

Electro Furnace

Ninetailed: /* Energy */ Added economy note for RE Batteries

The Electric Furnace is the better and more expensive version of the [[Iron Furnace]].

One advantage of this device compared to the others is that the Electric Furnace is 12.5% faster and, as the name indicates, it uses Energy.

You can put the item you want to smelt in the upper slot and in the lower slot, if you don't have a direct [[Cable]] connection, an energy storage item like a [[Single-use Battery]].

== Recipe ==

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B1=Electronic Circuit
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone
|Output=Electro Furnace
}}

== Usage ==

Simply add something to smelt in the top slot and supply it with [[EU]], similar to Minecraft's regular [[Furnace]]

{{Grid/Machine|
|Type=Electro Furnace
|Top=Copper Dust
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)
|Output=Copper
}}

== Energy ==

'''Storage:''' 313 [[EU]]

'''Input:''' 313 [[EU]] per operation, a ''minimum'' of 3 [[EU]]/s needed for non-stop usage. A fully charged [[RE Battery]] will power the Electro Furnace for 32 operations.

Ninetailed:

Thanks for the nice grid [[Generator|here]] ^^
:They're easy to make. I plan to see later whether more pages could benefit from an easily-constructed wikitable. [[User:Ninetailed|Ninetailed]] 16:55, 17 May 2011 (CEST)

Generator

Ninetailed: /* Energy */ Added nicely formatted table for fuel values, changed sort order to descending EU

Generators are used to either direct power to machines or charge [[RE Battery|Batteries]]. Fueling a generator is done via placing charcoal or coal into bottom slot, and optionally placing the [[RE Battery|Battery]] into the top slot.

While costly in terms of fuel, basic generators are also one of the most mobile power sources, and don't suffer the drawbacks of requiring sunlight, water, lava, or proper wind as the case is with the other types of generators.

== Usage ==

Place one of the compatible fuels (see [[#Energy]]) on the lower slot, and optionally a [[RE Battery]] in the upper slot. The generator will charge the battery or output power at a rate of 5 EU/s.
