Mmm.

I noticed skimming suggestions someone wanted to implement the rocket science addon. What about using antimatter as a propellant to get to the moon/planets? A new dimension, similar to the nether or end. If anyone has read Physics of the Impossible (Michio Kaku) you would understand that antimatter can be theoretically used as rocket fuel, as in combining it with hydrogen in a super-strength, open faced chamber on the tail of the rocket resulting in propelling explosion. If E=mc2 means energy equals matter and vise versa, and if an object's total energy is equal to the speed of light, some energy devoted to physical movement and some energy to passage of time, if one travels at the speed of light, no time will pass. So an internally occurring explosion within the travelling device will not end. Therefore, one piece of antimatter will work an infinite distance/time, but only once, until the craft slows. So antimatter should be incredibly expensive.

Here is a way to create instantaneous, free, HV current. I know what you're thinking: That's easy! Why can't you just use a hybrid reactor or HV Solar panels? Because A, hybrid reactors are resource-intensive, time consuming and dangerous. And HV panels only work during a sunny day. So here: we will combine three MFSU's, a good amount of gold/glass cable and quite a few solar panels, along with some pipes, lava fabricators and geothermal generators. Here we go!

Make a solar roof on a small building, at least 5x5 using HV panels. Configure the wiring like so:

(Sorry for item subbing, the solar panel icon is glitched) (They're solar panels)
Connector cables

Power feed

Next, take the feed and plug it into the three MFSU's like so:

Power feed

More connectors

MFSU's

Now we have unlimited power during rain or shine, night of day, because once fully charged, three lava fabricators can only consume about 3 500 000 EU during a night or storm. In the event of an extremely large thunderstorm, (many days) you have 30 000 000 EU to last a number of days. Lava fabricators will draw power from the MFSU's during night/rain. In daylight the power passes straight through the multi-functional storage units (MFSU's) So before you perform the next step it is advised to let the MFSU's charge to full. A half drained MFSU will recharge in mere seconds from the HV panel roof. Next steps!

Draw power from the dotted face of the MFSU's with a glass fiber cable and put it into three lava fabricators as shown:
MFSU
Cable
Cable
Lava fabricator

So now the feed is 3x1x2. Build 2 more beside it to make it 3x3x2.

Take pipes and draw lava from the fabricators:
Fabricator
Pipe (I know, it's not looking very pipe-ish but respect it)

The pipe rig is 1x1x2.
Make 2 more beside it to make it 1x3x2.

Then take the pipes and plug them into the bottom of a geothermal generator:

Geo. generator

Pipe

Once more, build this beside it again twice.

Run cables out the tops of the generators, and....

You're done! You have infinite power.

I can honestly say I agree with your point, so there.
BUT:
The Buildcraft wiki isn't very extensive at all.

Google can't possibly provide the same level of intelligence GregT, Alblaka or some other experienced engineer could.

I am new to IC2 and Redpower:
What are these frames?
What are filters?
How can I learn what more of the experienced players know?
How can I learn about all of the redpower gates?
How can I get reactors/BC engines to stop blowing up in my puzzled face?
Tell me!
