It takes about 15 secs to complete 1 compression. Since you need to cool 1690 heat you need 8,45 ice blocks per second. In order to produce them fast enough you need atleast 127 compressors. Now i didnt even started about the insane piping system you would need to distribute the stuff evenly

You would need 50 million eu just to compress all those snowballs for each cycle. That would make the output of this reactor less than mine while this reactor is way more expensive than mine even if you TMI its still easier to make 2 of my bucket nuclear reactors. Its a nice design you have but other than coolness and fun it doesnt have any value.

Conclusion: you are better off making a water bucket based nuclear reactor.

You get more eu by burning them raw. The biofuel is bugged or something its totaly useless.

Well if you want something that goes all out, check my reactor setup out

Its less automated than my reactor. You need 1300 stacks of ice/cycle.

Someone else made a reactor without containment chamber and it was really small. Also no ice is used in my reactor only water buckets which require iron. I believe there about 150 buckets in my design so thats 450 iron pretty much the iron cost of a filled 6 chamber reactor. In that smaller reactor there are alot less buckets since the pipes arent that long.
Its more expensive that a normal reactor but its definitely possible to make ony legimately. I actualy got one running legit. 2-3x cost for over 10x output. Also yours is using BC mine is using RP2 both are mods so i dont see your point.

EE = equivalent exchange thats a mod. You can transmute 8 glass to 1 ice and you can make endless glass with it. Problem is due to the speed of such ice factories it need to be extremely big.

Mine isnt much more expensive than yours i just added a containment chamber through that containment chamber is mostly for looks now. It doesnt explode anyway if you instal it correctly.

So its a reactor that can only be run with cheats.....Not usefull for ppl who play fair.

But you still have to make 1300 stacks of ice per cycle. Dunno about you but do you have the time to make 1300 stacks before cycle ends?

Its a TMI only reactor or maybe with EE (but then it would be cheaper to make 2 of my bucket reactors).

1 huge flaw is that you have to babysit to make tons of ice. You would probably be making ice nonstop to keep up with the consumption (if that is enough).

I believe I have outdone you by quite a bit

Its not possible to make that legimately thus irrelevant. It also is a mk2 not mk1 since you dont have infinite ice. Its easy to say you beated someone else by cheating.

This one produces 10 times more and is safe:

Point is they will find i way eventualy its not impossible.

Its as expensive as making that 6 chamber 60eu/tick (40 average) mk2 reactor dezuman made so i dont see any problem there.

Thats pretty general it applies for any mod.

Ye from zeldos additional pipes. Those will make sure items get distributed else its still based on chance (and some bug with north-south).

Can everyone without some understanding of E=mc2 pls leave this topic now? We dont have time to convince you mass can be converted to energy and that it already happened.

eff is good for mk1 and it outputs more eu/cost than having a 6 chamber reactor. Its not a horrible design at all. You can easily make several of these due to lowcost and make more eu than a single expensive reactor can.

You can make like 4 reactors for almost the same cost as making dezumans mk2 reactor. My 4 reactors would produce double what dezumans reactor would make at cost of some eff.

They are still developing fusion reactors that will actualy make enough energy but in theory it is possible. Just getting to that heat and maintaining the magnetic field isnt very efficient AT THE MOMENT (there is a very good possibility there will be a commercial fusion in our lives).

Lets assume IC2 is a bit more advanced than present day ok?

oh and if you think converting mass to energy yields only miniscule amounts of energy i suggest going to youtube and search for nuclear explosions. They arent that miniscule.

At every T section a item has 50% chance to go left or right so just make sure each chest has a equal amount of T sections to reach it. I recomend using distribution pipes at the T sections.

There is a topic with almost 7000 views (i never expected it to get so much lol) thats going about this. We made a 640 eu/tick reactor that has fully automated water bucket cooling.
