The dimensional generator is able to generate energy from anything (nether, end portals etc.) that makes you be able to teleport to other dimensions in a radius of 5 blocks. If a nether portal is in its radius, it would generate 128 EU/t (medium voltage), if an end portal is nearby, it would generate 512 EU/t, but if a mob or player goes throught the portal, there would be a short boost of +128 EU/t.
recipe:
ey|ey|ey
a| 
|a
ey = eye of ender
a = air/nothing
I can see this easily get abused, as you can place many of those generators around a portal and there are up to 3 End portals (afaik) maximum per world. Imagine how much free power you would get from that.
Free energy can be abused, no matter how "expensive" it is.
End portals should generate 32 EU/t at most, with one "dimensional generator" maximum every 9 portal blocks.
Nether portals are so easy to make that they could be exploited to the limit, so no.
put an ender egg on the recipe and it will be balanced 
forestry allows the crafting the dragon egg? I think not.
Anyway, GregTech + dragon egg = 1024 EU/t
So, pointless to make this require dragon egg.
9 portal blocks are the amount of portal "blocks" an end portal has. (3x3)
nether stars? Bedrock? A command block?

9 Fusion Reactor Computers
The Piston Head. Or a sponge.
A lit TNT entity?
Non-sense ?
Enough =)
try make it out of just air blocks :p
that is a good idea for a topic on the off-topic section
Honestly the portal idea is unbalanced and:
Display MoreHonestly the portal idea is unbalanced and:
- Nether Portals:
- People will keep spamming Nether Portals, causing lag
- People will probably invent cow-cycling systems to move animals through portals and back again
- Too cheap for 256 EU/t
- 8 Eyes of Ender
- 13 Iron + Some Rails
- 4 Tin
- 2 Redstone
- 0.5 Copper
- Maybe produce 0.3 - 1.2 EU/t
- Maybe produces 100 EU randomly when Zombie Pigmen spawn?
- End Portals:
- Good idea especially for raid servers, making the end portals prime spot
- Not very balanced otherwise
- Same animal cycling system
- Produces a bit too much energy
- Maybe produce 64 EU/t?
Don't use that inbuilt List Function of the Forum, I can't quote you properly...
QuotePeople will keep spamming Nether Portals, causing lag
Like they do with the Zombie Pigmen Spawners.
QuotePeople will probably invent cow-cycling systems to move animals through portals and back again
not possible, it's already almost impossible to move a Mob through the Portal, right after it moved through.
QuoteSame animal cycling system (End Portals)
Animals get out at Spawn, when they use the overworld Portal. Spawn is about 800 Blocks away from the closest Stronghold.
And the Idea itself is way too exploity.
maybe a distcharge of 128EU(/t) to any mob/player who tryes to cross the portal

Maybe a dimensional defence system?
