Can the turbines be fueled directly, or do they require outside BC energy from an engine or pipe?

They can be powered directly or by pipes

im confused. does it turn IC2 power into buildcraft power or the other way around.

Well, for now it works only in the way of BC->IC2.
I will add a separate block to convert IC2 into BC.

Well its not bad having choices anyways hehe. Good luck with your project.

Thanks, I was planning to add some unique ideas too

Damn I got excited for a second. Though this was like MFSU x10 Not the 10th power converter <3 You guys know there is more ideas then converting everything

Lol Yeah, When I started this there was nothing like this but I just noticed now there are already a couple converters

Power Extended - Adding BuildCraft to IndustrialCraft energy conversions using turbines!

For now this mod has only 2 Items:

The Iron Turbine and the Crystal Turbine:
Recipes are as follow(respectively)

They have a difference in conversion rate and power output(32 or 128 eu/t)

All these options are configurable in the file \config\PowerExtended\Turbine.conf
All options are formatted:
NameTurbinelevel
For Example:
[b] eutBcRate0 = Conversion rate Iron Turbine
maxOutputRate1 = Maximum output Crystal turbine
rateVariancex = the amount total amount of difference that can occur in energy conversion, meaning
a value of 4 would give together with a conversionRate of 10
Input(10BC)->Output(from 80-120 Eu)
all other values are for animation and some other things

This is the Turbine GUI:

It has an arrow indicating the amount of power currently being generated.
In the future you will also be able to charge batteries and crystals with it in the inventory slot.

Usage:
You can place one on the ground or on a wall
You can connect Buildcraft Energy pipes to all sides
You can connect cables to the Blue-ish side
You can set the facing with a IC2 Wrench
When it works you should see it moveing

This still only has basic functionality the turbine is working there may be some bugs and some features mising.
To install this mod just drag the file to the mods folder in your Minecraft folder
You will need Buildcraft Core/Energy for this mod to work
No SMP yet, I Still need to find out how since I'm kind of new to Minecraft modding

Also please tell me if I should give more information or anything.
