This device can do it. Everything.


The ''MultiFunctionalElectric Transmitter'' is necessary for any big industrial workspace using cables and current. Why? Let me tell you of the amazing number of uses:
The Multi-Functional Electric Transmitter, or MFE, is a Tier 2 energy storage device. It is able to store up to 600 thousand EU, and can accept currents of up to 128 EU/s from all the 5 input sides. It can also emit a current of up to 128 EU/s from its output side. Like all storage units, its output side is marked by a special texture, which usually faces the player when the block is placed. The direction of the outpu side can be changed by right-clicking with a wrench onto an input side of the block. Be aware that right-clicking the MFE Transmitter while pointing at its output side will dismantle it.
 
Any cable linked to the side faces of the ''MFE'' will transmit energy into it. The ''MFE'' itself will as well '''EMIT''' energy, through the top and bottom faces.
 
Even more, the ''MFE'' contains an integrated '''ENERGY STORAGE'''. Yes, that's right, it can effectively contain an amount of energy, comparable to '''60 [[RE_Battery|RE BATTERIES]]'''(or 10 [[Energy_Crystal|Energy Crystals]]).
The ''MFE'' will often not emit power if no power is requested of it (for instance, if it is just linked to a machine). However, it is possible to stop the ''MFE'' from emitting energy at all by powering it with redstone.
 
But even better: for the unbelievable case you managed to '''FULLY LOAD''' the ''MFE'', it will emit energy (ignoring redstone signals). 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 pop an empty battery(or an empty Energy Crystal) in the upper slot and it will become charged until it's full or the MFE is out of energy. As well, you can put charged batteries(and charged Energy Crystals)into the lower slot to load up the ''MFE'' 's storage.
That's technology, isn't it, HAYO!

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