Name: Power Systems
Summary: Various power grid enhancing blocks
Description
The power regulator allows you to keep your workshop fully charged, and use any extra energy to run a mass fab, keep some induction furnaces hot, i.e. anything that could use power that you don't want to use power unless everything else that needs power is full.
The power regulator works by first acting as a pass through, then sending extra power out it's output blocks.
The power regulator can be disabled by applying a redstone input(i.e. lever or whatever). This will stop the overflow from going out the output, but the regulator will continue passing current through to the main output.
Simple design
Power comes in on the left, heads to the right, but the right side is full. MFE stays topped off, and excess is making matter in the mass fab. YAY.
Power regulator looks like a storage unit for it's voltage range, and outputs to the side with a double dot. Output block looks like the power regulator, but outputs at the quintuple dot. Thanks sirbrandino for the sprites.
Note, the power regulator sucks in as much as it can, so it needs to be before your workshop, not in the middle of it, in order to work properly.
The power switch only passes energy through when it gets redstone signal. It will transmit anything up to HV, and won't blow stuff if you put it in a LV circuit.
The power meter tracks power flow through it. Like the power switch, it will transmit anything up to HV, and won't blow stuff if you put it in a LV circuit.

Current ones are crap, I'm taking suggestions.

Note to IC2 admins:
I despise adfly, and as such I refuse to allow links to my mod(s) to be adfly'd. If you want to include my mod in the main mod, I will gladly send my source code to you, and you can do as you may with it.(i.e. adfly the main mod containing my mod code without worry about what I think) That being said, I would be happy to provide mirror hosting, and do have some pretty decent quotas on my hosting(8TB of bandwidth a month that I have barely touched so far). I can provide ftp access for use in mirroring any IC/IC2/M4D/MC mods, on the one condition that I will not tolerate adflying links to my server.
Note to other modders:
If you want free hosting for IC/IC2/M4D/MC related mods/images, feel free to send me a PM/email. My only conditions are reasonable size(less than 50MB total) and no adflying of links to my server.
edit: update, forgot about redstone behavior.
