My Cables don't work so i looked into the reactor api and made two components which are really usefull but need maybe some adjustment to be not to imba and not a wasted id. I will make some more Components with unusual/advanced behavior so there will be some more playing with the reactor and less mk1 here mk1 there ...
So here is the first release:
Advanced Cooling Cell:
3 Components: MKI - MKIII
Heat Capacity: MKI - 450k Heat; MKII - 900K Heat; MKIII - 1800K Heat
Reactor Heat Transfer Rate: MKI - 45 Heat/Tick; MKII - 90 Heat/Tick; MKIII - 180 Heat/Tick
They take heat from the reactor when he stores more then 2000 Heat. Below that they transfer the Heat back to the reactor.
They stop Working before they break (Like the LZH Condensator) to prevent cell spamming / make it harder.
Also they will crafted with no colling capacitys, so you have to cool them before you use them.
Advanced Heating Cell:
3 Components: MKI - MKIII
Reactor Heating Rate: MKI - 8 Heat/Tick; MKII - 32 Heat/Tick; MKIII - 128 Heat/Tick
They heat up the reactor until it is 2000 Heat before blow up.
They will crafted with no heat, so you have to heat them before you use them.
Simply put them in the reactor and turn it on. They need 100 Ticks per heat. So the MKII needs 32 * 100 = 3200 Ticks to heat up completly.
Before they heat up they provide only an part of the possible maximum heating and they cool down if you turn off the reactor (Same amount like the up heating).
Turbine:
3 Components: MKI - MKIII
Reactor Cooling Rate: MKI - 20 Heat/Tick; MKII - 30 Heat/Tick; MKIII - 40 Heat/Tick
UP/DOWN Spinning Time: MKI - 100 sec; MKII - 150 sec; MKIII - 200 sec
They Spin up when they can dispense heat and the reactor is running.
While they are upspinning the cooling rate is liniear decrased. (MK1 @ 25% spinning Speed => 5 Heat/Tick, MK1 @ 50% spinning Speed => 10 Heat/Tick)
If no heat is avaible or the reactor is out they spin down!
Electric Vent:
Reactor Heating Rate: 50
EU Cost: Same as one Uranium Cell (Lowest amount i could use...)
High cooling Rate but costs eu for running.
Place it AFTER the Urancell or they don't work! (i can't change that it's an ic2 thing)
Not up to date. Look into NEI.

This is the Old Threat contend. I really don't get the thing with the cable I need a howto or an simple cable mod without ballast (Truely thanks Greg but i don't understand your code ^^)
Attention Please] This is not a mod suggestion this is an work in progress mod. Currently i'm at work and have nothing to do so i create this threat before the first release. You are free to suggest idears/changes to the mod but don't try to say that its unnecessary. I would simply ignore it
Like in my other Mod (Condensed Blocks, signatur helps ;)) i will make everything in this mod so, that you can disable it and/or configure it.
If you have problems with my english than it's your problem my native language is german
So now this all is sayed/written i begin with the mod:
Redpower Cable:
Wait what there are already the Splitter/dedector Cable! Yep i thay but this cable simply emits a redstone torch & will transport energy
For now 2 version are planned: Glass Fibre & Superconductor Version
Recipe:
xC = Cable
RT = Redpower Torch
CF = Carbon Fibre
RT CF RT
xC xC xC
RT CF RT = 1x Redpower Cable
Why so expensive? Because i can!
Covered Cable
Simly an Glass Fibre Cable/Super Conductor Cable with an cover (Planned are Stone/Cobbleston and Oak Planks(Standart Planks) so you can hide your cables in a 1x1 Wall
Maybe i will even include an Redstone Edition of them.
Recipe:
xC = Cable
sr = Sticky Resin (You need something to glue it togheter ^^)
Co = Cover
Co Co Co
xC sr xC
Co Co Co = 2x Cover Cable
Super Conductor Cable:
I like the SC Cable from Gregtech but they are so expensiv that they aren't really often seen.
My SC Cable are cheaper but also limited. Max Eu/t will be 8192 (Not 1 000 000) and they lose 1 eu every 100 Blocks (Instead of no loss)
You ask why i add loss to an SC cable? Because the cooling system is not perfect and the contacts aren't perfect, too.
Recipe:
IP = Iridium Plate
GF = Glass Fibre Cable
60 = 60k Cooling Cell
AH = Advanced Heat Vent
60 AH 60
GF IP GF
60 AH 60 = 6x Super Conductor Cable (Adjustable in Config)
