Chachavo replied to the thread Coolant Cell Crafting....
Use the canning machine in enrich mode with water and 8 lapis lazuli dust or distilled water and 1 lapis lazuli dust.
It's all in the wiki: https://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Coolant_(Fluid)
Chachavo replied to the thread Ticks / op, eu/t details.
Since the solar panel produces exactly 1 eu/t. You can attach many to a machine and have it run, add solar panels until the machine can run continuously.
For the ticks/op you can run the machine disconnected but with energy inside, and see what the difference in energy is at the end.
For basic machines i've seen that it's usually half of their energy capacity per operation
Then you divide eu/op / eu/t to get ticks/op.
Also I believe IC2exp is not open source.
