i like that mod more
http://www.minecraftforum.net/…th-bcic-power-converters/
that is the one i'm using myself and it seems to be pretty well done. I haven't gotten that far to use it in my single player, but for me it looks like the recipes are well on for balance purposes...I also like that its more BC power to get EU power.
Stock BC factory blocks (quarry, filler, pump, ...) have large internal buffers, up to 100x or more the cost of an operation. Beyond that, pre 2.2 they would stop accepting power when their buffers filled (engines would begin to store excess energy and ultimately overheat/explode) while as part of the fuel/coolant code in 2.2, I'm pretty sure (haven't read it) he changed factories to continue to accept power after the buffer is full, they just discard it. The third party BC blocks I've used act like pre-2.2 factories. They'll only draw power when they're doing something, not 100% of the time that they're active and have a power source available.
So I'm saying if my theory is correct you can attach an Industrial Engine to a pump and it'll burn 512 eu/t until you turn it off. Pick the right prime mover for the job 
I thought there schould be Electric mitors to link Industry and Buildcraft, and here i have found them :-).
The only thing missing now for my Factory are RedPower compatible sensors, telling me when i have to refill the Furnances, ...
Have to say, i will never play BC & IC without this again. Not having to maintain some engine just to pull something out of a chest.. Awesome.
while I appreciate the complements,Redstone engines will never explode as long as they are not receiving power.
This is like Power converters but SSP and better, Make it SMP and Im sure that servers will start to use it instead of powercrystals mod (that one is good too ofc but this seems better) 
This looks quite awesome, downloading!
Electric engines that looks like engines, at last!

Odd, as i had one explode just pulling stuff out of a chest a few days ago. Unless you mean redstone power, which of course is required for it to work.
This mod looks awesome. Here's hoping for an SMP version.
oh jesus this not even SMP lol.
sucks man, wanted to try this but no more block id;s
you may have had it connected to a conductive pipe accidentally. They simply cant explode if they are not receiving power, as soon as they hit red heat level the code removes heat, unless this was on SMP, there are probably still some bugs there.

I have some code that will reduce the number of block IDs needed to 1, it will probably come out with the SMP version as that's its main function.

Looks like a block ID error, I think. Check the config file. If that's not it, make sure you are using the correct version of IC2 and have not renamed any of the zips/jars.
Get this error everytime I launch the game

Post modloader.txt as well when reporting errors. However that looks to be a Block ID error as well, with fuel.
hey silent brilliant mod i was complaining to player constantly to add the generator in your pack and the engines also i just have a question that may irritate you...
any ETA on upgrading it to BC 2.2.5 i tried using it with 2.2.5 but i crash lol XD
Quick, possibly silly question:
I see the recipes for the various engines but how much power do they need to run at full efficiency?
Saw mention of a large electric engine for a quarry but does that need 128 to really power it? Just trying to get a bit of a comparison against the other methods, which take about 8 solar panels to run a quarry at full speed.
I like the idea of direct electric engines a little better as they can run wooden extraction pipes but just trying to get an idea of what sorta power i'll need.
This is assuming I can scrape up enough Block IDs to install this. (hmm... maybe if I make the teleportation system i've been meaning to do and rip out the Portal mod)

Soon(TM)
Probably this weekend. I am testing some bug fixes and new features first.
