Geothermal Generator

The  Geothermal Generator  is an Industrial Craft 2  machine used to generate E U  from lava. The primary advantage of this generator is that it won't use up fuel unless it's providing energy to a machine or storage device. For example, if a Geothermal Generator is connected to a Macerator, it will only use up fuel if the Macerator  needs energy. This is contrary to the normal Generator, which will burn up its fuel constantly.

The Geothermal Generator can accept lava for many different sources. Lava Buckets and Lava Cells can be placed into the machines own lava storage, or you can pump lava directly into the machine with Waterproof Pipes.

Energy produced by the machine can be obtained just like a normal Generator. Simply connect a machine or storage device to the generator by placing it on one of the generator's six sides or by using cables. RE- Batteries  and  Electric Tools  can also be placed in the top part of the machine to be charged.

Any type of cable can transfer power from the generator to a machine Except Ultra-Low-Current Cable

The Geothermal Generator has a maximum power output of 20 EU/t. This makes it twice as fast as a Generator. However, it will only produce 20,000 EU per Lava Bucket or Lava Cell.

As mentioned before, the Geothermal Generator has its own lava storage, which can hold up to 24 Lava Buckets or Lava Cells. . This means that it can store up to 480,000 EU as lava, but it would take 20 minutes, at maximum output, to convert that stored lava into actual EU.

At maximum output, this generator will consume a bucket of lava every 50 seconds.
