Mark V Class A-5 CASUC

1st Official Post

    Well buildcraft + IC2 + RedPower finally work on my system. So I made an automated coolant system for a nuclear reactor.
    Also, please please please fix the compatibility bugs between BC and IC2 :(


    Specs:
    Class A (4.35 Efficiency)
    Mark I-I (Cooled from the inside, never needs to be shut down)


    Chambers: 5 (Would be six if BC knew how to handle the chambers :) )
    Coolant Rate: 9i/t
    Energy Produce: 870 eu/t (Too much for a msfu to cope with :( )


    Piccies:




    PLEASE NOTE THIS PICTURE IS FROM AN OLDER REACTOR, ONLY 500 EU PRODUCED IN THIS ONE.....THIS ONE CAN HOOK INTO A MSFU



    Here are some extra screenshots: notice the damage everywhere? Failed experiments...





    Please us the -CASUC suffix
    for Constantly Applied SUC
    also your screenshot shows 500 EU/t ?

    Okay I will change my suffix, and yeah that screenshot was an old one :( sorry. Will update shortly.


    Edit: When your looking at thumbnails its very easy to upload the wrong one.

    So ... Where do you get the ice from?

    Either compressed snowballs,
    Or too many items :)


    And on another note the calculation for the EU production was wrong, it produces about 100 eu less than I stated. Still don't have a screenshot though, been rebuilding after I left it running while I went to lunch.....it ran out of ice :(

    The problem would be that without a mod that can easily create a *lot* of snowballs/ice, these ice-cool reactors pretty much requires TMI :|

    I've been thinking about this too, and by combining build craft with equivalent exchange you can use the fact that 2 glass can be transmuted to 3 sand, which can then be smelted. Now you have an infinite source of glass, and 8 glass can be transmuted into ice. ;)


    I just built a small proof of concept ice-factory, but the downside is that it only produced ~2 ice per minute, and from my experiments with reactors and ice I know that that isn't really cutting it. :P


    This was, however not optimized, and perhaps something more efficient could be done with bc2.

    On my request the author of EE change it so that you can convert diamonds and clay balls backwards into 32 lapis > 32 obsidian > 256 ice so 1 diamond = 256 ice
    now which do you value the most? diamonds or energy?

    I suggest that C.A.S.U.C. tagged reactors should have the Mark that they would have without -SUC

    How much energy does it take to turn enough snow into ice via compressor? When considering that, how much energy is produced per day?

    I am the dumbest person in the world, according to anyone else.
