A Geothermal Generator works on the same basic principle as normal Generators do.
Geothermal generators use the heat of Lava to generate electricity. With the release of IC², the generators accept both Lava Buckets and Lava Cells. The latter are stackable and thus require less maintenance, but cost Tin to produce.
Note for those using Buildcraft: the Geothermal Generator will now connect to Buildcraft's Waterproof Pipes, and will receive lava carried by them. It will also accept lava directly from an adjacent Buildcraft Pump.
Recipe[edit]
Usage[edit]
As with all Generators, the lava-based fuel of choice is inserted into the lower slot, and optionally an RE Battery in the upper slot. The Geothermal Generator will charge the battery or output power at a rate of 20 EU/t.
A single Geothermal Generator can store 24 units of lava - thus, inserting a full stack of Lava Cells will instantly use up 24 of them and fill out the lava gauge. Unlike the furnace, the Geothermal Generator does not consume the bucket when a lava bucket is used as fuel. It is returned to your inventory.
Energy[edit]
Storage: 480,000 EU
Input: Lava Buckets or Lava Cells
Output: 20000 EU per Lava Bucket or Lava Cell at a rate of 20 EU/t
Extra Usages[edit]
If you have the buildcraft mod installed, you can effectivly generate infinite power. Simple connect one (or more) of these magical machines to a buildcraft pump pumping from a lava lake in the nether.
INFINITE POWER HAYO!!!
Actually lie, pumps will consume lavasource blocks very soon and you will need to move them around.
