LOL I find so much uranium all the time. I dont even bother with breeding.

Just for the heck of it, I improved the original design

Although, if you are gonna run several reactors it's more efficient to use many smaller ones (Assumed clocking and such)

Kool, thanks for the suggestion.
It looks like I only need 3 reactors for that [with a slight pause in between] This is way better than what I have. I could run 2 sets of those.

I'll try it out once IC2 updates.

lol I just never used ext. water since it didnt look nice. Ext. water would definitely work better, but I am trying to see if it is possible to get a buncha power on air.

O Now I c. That explains this hole in the test site as I was revisiting this forum. LOL

My brain is dead for the day. Gotta sleep before I make any more mistakes.

whoops, apparently my timer said 1900s, not 1800s. Edited the fix & included an extra sig fig.
It ran fine in practice [2 rotations], so I assumed the number I thought I read was right.

Thanks.

Hello all,

I have been designing a reactor cluster that required little interaction.
It is a cluster of 4 full reactors, no water involved. [Components]

Run time per reactor: 1900 sec == 31.6 min
Cool time per reactor: 7600 sec == 126.6 min

It is all controlled by RedPower. I designed it so that it auto rotates between the 4 reactors.
This way, there is constantly power, & more can be drawn from the cells without any interaction. [except for replacing uranium cells of course]

[Circuit] <-- click on the weird looking images; they are stitched together. Also click the bookmarks to the right.

If your wondering how to determine the minimum number of reactors for continuous power:
Take the cool down time & add 1 run. A mistake I made is that its not cooling down during a run, so you need to add the run to the cool down time.
7600+1900 = 9500
Divide that by the run time of 1 reactor.
9500/1900 = 5
This should be the minimum number of reactors needed to prevent chaos & havok.

Anyone have suggestions for better circuits or non-interactive [no water buckets] component setup?
