Behold gentlemen. the Ice Queen MK II-15 CA/SUC EB

so i play on industrial rage and like playing around with redpower

now all the other redpower savvy guys have designed their own CASUCs so i desided that i needed to make my own

since everyone was doing buckets i figured WTF not ill make mine use ice and as such here is the result

this design is very impractical seeing as about 24% of your power is lost to cooling however this percentage goes down the higher your efficiency gets (but that means more coolers T_T)

this was built on single player but i have mined the resources and am soon to be under construction of this on industrial rage

tim thank you so much for that resource calculator

yes this was designed for version 1.337

and if you had read you would know that the whole point of making this was because no one else on my server had

another minor point of this was to show that ice is still very underpowered as a cooling device

also ive been doing some math on it myself 25% loss is on a low level ice casuc the percent loss actually gets lower the higher your efficiency rating is my current one is about 23% but my expanded design if i ever make it should only have about a 20% loss

also i would like to note that i have since posting this cut 1/6 of the compressors out from a trick i found by hooking up 3 snowball compressors to 2 ice compressors i also shrunk the space needed by scrunching all the machines together the finished on server design should be much smaller than this one

I think you'll find that the /energy/ and /time/ portions of my calculations cannot be reduced. As far as the efficiency that was based on looking at the maximum possible power production and then seeing what level of ice would be required to cool it; though I did /roughly/ calculate the numbers I greatly doubt you'll get less than a 20% hit to efficiency, AND you'll still be using all of those resources to produce the cooling ice.

you are right i just ran the numbers on my plans for the ice king (my next project) and it does stay a 24% loss almost exactly i was just about to cross out what i had said earlier when i noticed you posted =P however i have found that i can make a HUGE 5 chamber system whose cooling system is only 7x14x20 in dimensions and pumps out 1510 eu/t the one thing that ice systems do give you is the ability to make massive output from a single core although the construction costs are absurd =P

let it be known though that absurdity never kept me from doing something

i know. i keep playing around with the planner more and have finally come to the max which ill probably post in about 2 or 3 weeks

so i have been doing some more work in single player and
