Bluetricity to EU?

[Ethan_r_Pro]

Is there a way i can convert my bluetricity collected from my solar panels into power for my machines from industrialcraft. i think that power is called EU?

I don't believe there is a way currently to turn Bluetricity into EU. However, you can use the Bluetric engine which converts into MJ and there are ways to convert MJ into EU, steam power being an example.

Steam power doesn't really turn MJ into EU. You get steam from putting fuel and water in a boiler to get steam which can be turned into MJ by putting it into steam engines, or EU by running it into steam turbines. The only way I can think of to turn blutricity into EU would be to use the blulectric engine to power a magma crucible and send the magma into a geothermal generator.

As I suspected before, it sounds more and more like we need a "transformer" (power converter, not the robots in disguise) mod

There are several transformer mods that convert MJ to EU but none that convert blutricity directly and there are several more indirect ways to convert it such as using blutricity to power fermenters to make biomass and then using the bio generator from forestry to make that into EU.

A slightly more direct approach would be to wire up a blulectric engine to a magma crucible, then feed the lava into a (geo)thermal generator. It wouldn't require you to get biomass involved, just an igneous extruder making free cobble - it's a more direct conversion. As a bonus, you can centrifuge lava into electrum, copper and tin, or just store it for massive power storage.

Edit: although someone else already made that suggestion before. Darn.
