As Satanicsanta says, pure bees are Awesome. I have 5 apiaries next to my node and the flux barely goes about minimal in general TC use. Useful products as well!

AIUI, it should just work in that direction. RF can directly supply to MJ consumers. Is that the right way around?
As has been stated about half a dozen times in the TE3 public beta thread over in the mod discussion forum...
- TE3 conduits automatically output MJ when connected to MJ consuming machines
- In addition to that, several mods are planning to offer native support, and AE is one of them
- AE won't update again until 1.7.x, or so AlgorithmX2 wrote on the website. However since conduits output MJ when requested it should work anyway
- And before you ask that as well, no you cannot convert MJ or any other form of energy into RF
- You can however use Railcraft steam to drive steam dynamos
Just a side note as there is no direct conversion like you said:
You could use power converters to convert other energies to steam then to dynamos. Also didn't I hear someone talking about universal cable adding in rf support?
I upgraded my machines and engines.
Made the magmatic engines and the iron tank.
So my question is ...
''Is my setup invalid?
-I am really sorry for asking too much nooby stuff , i did watch some tutorials and it did'nt work eyh.

No chunk loader in the nether. Gotta load the chunks in the nether so that when yo uare at the tank, they are also loaded and can send lava.
Oh , i see. Thanks. I changed some stuff and replaced the stone waterproof pipe into a liquiduct. It indeed work but i needed to stay in the nether to make the tresseract to work.
Also , do you have any idea on how to use the stored lava on the tank? if so can you please tell me how so i can apply it to my survival world
Yes when you stay in the nether it loads the chunks so that the pumps will run. It shouldnt fill the tank on the other side though, unless you have a chunkloader there. You yourself are a big living Chunkloader, really. To make things run that are not within 128 blocks of you, you have to make chunkloaders.
You can pump lava through pipes to magmatic engines or geothermal generators (or thermal generators if you use gregtech). You can actually also pump it right into combustion engines, but they will run slowly on just lava. Lava is also needed for biogas engines, but not very much.
It also works in generators and solid fueled fireboxes, but Im not sure if you get the bucket back, and Im thinking that to do that you would not be able to automate the lava into and out of the firebox.
magmatic engines are the most efficient use, I think.

Put your liquid tesseracts/endertank directly against the pumps to greatly improve the throughput. And again put tesseract/endertank directly against a valve on on the iron tank. You can then take lava out of the tank from a valve and pump to your engines. That way tank works as a buffer.
You might also want to considder that other lava pump(I dont remember the name, but someone else must know). It acts as its own chunkloader and it replaces the lava with cobble, and greatly reduces lag. Theres also no point in having 2 pumps(actually think I read somewhere that it could cause problems), one pump can output plenty for one persons use.
So long as you mind the output power of the reactor and take care to step it down through transformers, there should be no issue with it. I pretty much always set it to 6 in my older worlds, for a 20% output boost. Thanks to the reactor buffs in IC2 experimental it's no longer necessary in 1.6.4 though.
Either golden waterproof pipe, or liquiducts. Or just put an endertank next to anything that needs lava, and frob the knob so that it outputs.
Liquiducts if you can afford it(its easier to set up and distributes the fluid evenly, and it is its own pump). Else just any waterproof pipe. Stone pipe will be fine. You wont be using that much lava to warrant gold pipes.
Or if you need to send the lava over large distances, just use Endertanks. They are easier and cheaper to make than tesseracts and do the same job.
I would test this myself but I don't have MC on this machine... very simple question!
Can a buildcraft pipe shove items into the side of a Hopper? If you have tested this, please let me know if it works, I am scheming in my head and I must know right meow!
