    Well I mean how Are you supposed to get it? It becomes tedious to transport lava in buckets to the upper world to make the obsidian there. I mean if you dont think it really makes sense then I guess I will just try to find another way to do it. Its not a great machine Ill give you that. I thought about making it a functionality of the centrifuge. It would make sense but then you could make endless energy so I dont think that would work.

    Eu reader no longer crashes but the readings seem funny. wind mills up in layer 130 or so are making 1.5 Eu/t each while Mills 40 layers below are making 3Eu/t each. Also it keeps giving readings in variosu units other than EU/t is that normal? Like pEU/t and mEu/t

    No I meant I want the recipe for these things. Though thanks for the help. I cant even figure out how to make the blast furnace. Yeah I meant heat as a general topic. The last version of IC2 I played is several months old so I am way behind. I am trying to experiment but its not going well. I suck at discovering recipes.

    Actually does NEI give you the recipes? I never tried it before. I only know Craft Guide but that is not working at the moment.

    Well, I am pretty new and it seems like a pain to go around gathering little bits of info from all around the forum so I though I would start a more central info hub. And maybe later this can help when updating the Wiki or something.
    If you mind that I use your content I can take it out. Though since I already read it and will put in similar info it will probably still be here in one way or other. So for now I will just put in where I got the info from.

    Heat is an entire new energy system that Thunderdark added.
    In order to transfer heat, you must have a heat generator's(small orange square) square touching a heat acceptor's(small orange square). There are many ways to generate heat:
    Solid Heat Generator - burn items to generate heat - 20 heat
    Fluid Heat Generator - burn fluids * to generate heat - 8, 16 or 32 heat
    Radioisotope Heat Generator - use RTG pellets to generate heat - 0 to 64 heat, heat doubles per RTG pellet
    Electric Heat Generator - use EU to generate heat (1 EU = 2 heat) - 0 to 100 heat, 10 heat per coil
    Liquid Heat Exchanger - Cool either lava or hot coolant to generate heat - 0 to 100 heat, extra 10 heat per vent
    * Fluids count as:
    Buildcraft Oil and Forestry Biomass - 16 Heat
    Forestry's Ethanol - 32 Heat
    Buildcraft Fuel - 64 Heat


    Kinetics

    Kinetic energy is generated from movement. That movement is then converted into Eu by a generator. There is a 4:1 convertion ration between Ku to Eu.

    Kinetic Wind Generator -Channels kinetic energy from the wind in the form of MCW. MCW is a measure of wind strength. The higher in the world you are, the stronger the wind. However once you go too high, the wind becomes a negative value(seems to be a bug). Wind is harnessed with the help of a rotor. Rotors are worn down in the process and must eventually be replaced. Even with the same wind speeds higher tier rotors produce more energy, granted that it is within their operating limits.
    Wood Rotor- Operating range from 10MCW to 60MCW -Least durable (Tested to last about 60min on average.)
    Iron Rotor- Operating range from 14MCW to 75MCW
    Steel Rotor- Operating range from 17MCW to 90MCW
    Carbon Rotor- Operating range from 20MCW to 110MCW - most durable
