A few of you were asking me for the link to Industrialcraft reactor planner website so here it is: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner.html It's pretty self explanatory, just set the number of chambers and the other factors, insert different combinations of materials and try to find the most efficient.
Hey Joe thanks for posting this. Very helpful website you shared with us. Also I know that you were tired and stayed up 5 minutes longer to help a few of us out with our minor problems. Thanks a ton bro, -Michael
i got a good design... if it doesnt explode-at least 2 coolent cells next to each uranium cell http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyo...28d4uydgd230x5qpeiac=1k10101001501521s1r11r10. the URL is from save.
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyo...fhu4qji1ybsxwjledw6jfi9p5972d13yq50adz2n4qiio So far, so good ... i plan on setting a snow golem -> snow -> ice factory up, strong enough to create those 7 ice per second that i need. Would be the most efficient reactor that could be done, right? Would cost a lot of resources, but it should be safe (?) Edit: I would likely do this ( http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyo...fhu4qkh0o67pb6ch3ipq865xn6pesc2t8g3h3z9uybcw0) first because it would be much cheaper. Question: Will a reactor still use ice/water if it's hot, but no power is generated?
First of all, AFAIK, a CASUC reactor can't have 6 chambers, because the ice needs to be injected into the reactor core directly. Accounting for that, I believe this Mark-I-O-CASUC EA is the best you can get. http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyo...rjr6kjlngiclvbxdir5tskiwws59vvi53y7xtx1z43v40 as long as there is excess heat, it will be used
Thanks alex. Another question would be why you still like to use the other cooling thechniques, since ice is "easy" to get, or at least water buckets.
less of a hassle to manage for newbies. Specific to my reactor, it's a delicate balance. One less water and it's a Mark-II-1-CASUC EA, which does need to cool down after every cycle. with 7 external water it becomes a Mark-III-CASUC EA, and with one lava anywhere, it's instantly Mark-V and no, air alone is not enough.
I was aiming for best efficiency. Well, i think so much energy isn't needed anyway if you aren't mass-fabbing all the time. Maybe i will make a reactor that i activate just for 1 sec with a button push and then let it regenerate until no ice is used. Need to test this in sp i guess ...
A 6 chamber Mark-V filled with Uranium Cells with 4,44 effeciency has only 21,9 effective EU/t while my 5 chamber Mark-I-O-CASUC EA with 4,33 effeciency gives 1820 effective EU/t Remember, Time is important when looking at Effeciency.
hixi7kcdp441b4aanoel30r6xwuf23noif6x3bt6g6kdebeio I found one that generates even MORE EU/t. to be exact 1,750 I think.
I will get the ice-factory up... and make a nuclear generator for massive EU ... in singleplayer technic.
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyo...rjr6kjlngiclvbxdir5twcx8ztyirv2us1e6x1axwqhq8 This one uses 6 ice blocks too and is better. Maybe the filter doesn't see the s. compressor because it's another mod.
I dont know... forgot to check your output fully- thought it was 870 >.< still, the redpower pipes can connect to the sing. compressor but cant take out... they are too evil for me. now I have a uber crater in my world... man I hate how hard it is to set it up without it blowing on you before you can get enough ice into it... this time I will use bedrock walls! one second-it might be the reactor... phail of phailyness
shortly after i posted i worked that out- that is before technic developers... well destroyed technic more or less.
w00t new higher than 1820! hixsfhxrpf6zqhyye1cygsl76vexifstwsfkymnazok3ny81s 2030EU/t and its symettric... and uses one less uranium cell for more power-it uses 7 ice instead of the usual 6.
