Red stone pulser and reactor ?

  • anyone thought of using redstone pulser to turn on and off a reactor? for example turn off reactor and fill fully with uranium cells then redstone pulser will trun it on and off which allows it to rest and prevent it from exploding would this create an efficient system?
    Any help would be great XD

  • As long as the excess heat from a reactor is less than it's total cooling, then a "50% on / 50% off" pulser will keep it alive.


    However, should you dare to try and fill a 6-chamber reactor full of uranium cells... for every second of use it'll need 72 seconds of cooldown time. Not only that, but if you run it for more than 5 continuous seconds it'll go boom and should you be crazy enough to make a working timer for this reactor it would only make 16 EU/t overall after taking into account it's cooldown time.

  • hmm true but would that be at 100% efficiency and since its possible would it be a good idea to incorporate it into something like a Mach 3 design? its just an idea and wonder if anyone would add this into their design LOL

  • impossible. impossible to make it a mark III just completely impossible unless... SUC ice. buildcraft.

    That's a rather cool idea, but a lone tree is suspicious, better plant some more. So really... forget about solar-flowers, solar-trees are the next generation :P
