| As well, you can create these nifty '''daylight-independent''' ''Windmills'' for an all-over-the-day constant energy supply.
| |
| | |
| Now, it's not THAT constant, as '''wind strength may change''', globally. But hey, in general it will produce a stead supply of energy.
| |
| | |
| Sometimes, with good wind, it will even produce more than twice the power of a [[Solar Collector]]! ALL DAY AND NIGHT, HAYO!

| <small>Our company is fully aware of all placement problems regarding ''Windmills''.</small>
| |
| | |
| <small>''Windmill'' efficiency WILL drastically reduce if not placed high enough, or obstructed by many other blocks in a '''''5 block radius'''''.</small>

| == Usage ==
| |
| | |
| Optionally place an [[RE Battery]] in the upper slot. The ''Windmill'' will charge the battery or output power at a rate of 0-3 EU/s depending on placement.

| == Detailed Mechanics ==
| |
| | |
| - A ''Windmill'' will produce on average 250 [[EU]] per Minecraft day multiplied by its height in the world.
| |
| This number varies '''greatly''' due to the highly unpredictable and constantly changing wind strength in the world; this number can be anything from 0 to 500 [[EU]]. (Although numbers far below 150 or far above 320 are uncommon)
| |
| | |
| - A ''Windmill'''s efficiency can be hindered by any kind of block placed in a 9x9x7 area around it

| It's best to have the cable from the ''Windmill'' underneath it and down at least two blocks before turning.
| |
| | |
| | |
| - For each obstructing block, a ''Windmill'''s effective height lowers by 1.
| |
| | |
| - A ''Windmill'' treats non-block items like torches and redstone wires as obstructions too.
| |
| | |
| - A ''Windmill'' doesn't treat the roof of the world as an obstruction.
| |
| | |
| Examples:
| |
| | |
| A ''Windmill'' placed as high as possible (layer 127), with no obstructions (apart from the 2 cable blocks under the windmill) will produce roughly 31250 [[EU]] (250 * 125) a day or 1.3 [[EU]]/s overall.
| |
| | |
| A ''Windmill'' that was placed near bedrock (layer 10) with no obstructions (not including the cable again) produced a whopping 2500 [[EU]] (250 * 10) a day (0.1 [[EU]]/s overall) for being so ridiculously low in height.
