Kinetic generator output loss

theArhar · Jan 5th 2018

First of all - sorry, my english not good.

I tried to build fluid nuclear reactor in 2.8.16-ex112 (minecraft 1.12.2) after long time not plaing (last time 1.7.10)

I build scheme 1280Hu/t that I found on android planner: https://imgur.com/kB9JWls (divide number in corner by 20 - another bug)

It has 6 lines of double liquid heat exchangers (100hu/t each) heating steam boiler 221bar 1000mb that powers 2 steam turbines connected to kinetic generators.

Kinetic generator 1 says producing 100eu/t, 2 - 50 eu/t, but measuring output of line gives total 120eu/t on eu reader.

I made some screenshots of output from first generator and it looks like it has around 85% performance.
And here is the question: is it normal? Can I get all 100eu/t output?

The reason why it shows a different number in the eu reader as it says in the gui of the kinetic generator is because of energy loss. It looks like you're using 4x ins. HV cable, which has a energy loss of 0.8EU/packet/block loss.

so it looks like I need to replace thousands of iron cable with glass fibre?

either that or you uptransform, transport and downtransform the energy. That way you'll have less energy loss, too.

Ideally you'd do both though, so you'd have the benefits of both.
