I used 2 railcraft anchors in a recent SP game ok, one on each part bore which moves, so there is always 1 that is not moving. IDK if this is why yours is not working, but maybe. The chicken chunks one worked too, but I had to visit the bore after loading a game (or sever restart) to kick start it.

Transposers when placed in line work like a 1 way valve (redstone stops items passing too). Filters have the same function, but you can put items in them to specify what can go through. But you should not need those. Items go to the closest inventory or machine that will accept them, so if you...

Another alternative is to recharge BT batteries at the power plant into an enderchest, and use them to keep the battery boxes supplying power to machines elsewhere topped up. This allows you to transfer or use power from your plant anywhere, even in other dimensions (nether, mystcraft) and also...

Cool :) It might be worth mentioning something like this too:

Thanks again Omicron, that all makes sense and confirms what I thought. I'm afraid looking this up in a book or wikipedia would not be of any help though. After all, there are no volts and amps in minecraft, only numbers named after real world things. Perhaps there is some code in place which...

Thanks again, I'm still waiting for an answer to this though: (well I'm not really waiting actually, coz I know already I think, but you forgot or avoided it) ;) I understand the distinction between energy and and power, how energy = J, watts = J/s or energy flow rate rather, and how energy =...

Thanks for explaining, the buffer storage trick make sense, I'll try that. I did that test again - here I was alternating between reading the wire next to the windmill then the wire next to the engine: If the transfer was lossless like the water example it would be 5500W at both points in the...

I realize this is a little old now, but a search didn't show any more relevant threads so... I'm not sure I understand this correctly. I was measuring with the voltmeter and got results like this: windmill (5000 watts) -> wire -> Engine (4000 watts). So, that means more energy is going in than...
