That is a fairly good question. I'd think not, but I am not sure. What I'd suggest would be testing the two setups in a creative world and measuring the power using the voltmeter, and then telling us.
As someone that has done a lot with BT I can say no it does not apear to be lost to adjoining machines. But they do tend to try and equalize so it can apear that way. Becuase of BTs need to have a machine fill its own buffer frist before sharing at full power. you can see this with bat boxes chained off a power source. They don't fill eveningly.[DOUBLEPOST=1361743998][/DOUBLEPOST]
Actually the volt meter what only show the power being past not if your losing power in the sense of total power in to total power stored.
A better test would be a set of closed systems useing batteries as this would give you a set amount of power you can see passed around the system.

K. First of all, praise Elo for blutric engines, they made this easy. Due to the steady-state nature of thermopiles and the blutric system as a whole I think this is actually pretty definitive; there IS equal loss.
Test method: set up, run it to a redstone cell via blutric engine, turn on, let stabilize.
Results: Voltage was essentially the same cabled or uncabled which was what we were actually testing for here. Amperage (and thus resultant wattage) was higher in the cabled setup due to 4 sides having water as opposed to 3 in the uncabled tower setup.
No pics: Bleh, didn't realize you can't upload directly here and have to link urls and I can't be bothered; you'll just have to take my word for it. 20 thermopiles in each, the less efficient tower setup was 60.8v, 7.75a (471.7w). Efficient cabled setup was 61.1v, 10a (611.5w)
p.s. as I mouse over to hit post reply I see "upload a file"... sigh.

I look at the forum and see this thread. "Yay, my specialty!", I think.
...aww shucks, everything is already said and done
I can confirm, however, from my independent testing that almost all non-cable blutricity blocks (including thermopiles) have the same 0.02 Ω resistance as common blue alloy wire.

Thanks for the confrimation. I have not tested this myself much simply by the fact that I dont normaly run power through mechines but wire them all from the back. Only when I cant do that do i use the mahince power sharing and so far I only do that in my sorting machine cluster.
Missing diamonds? No such thing. Whenever someone scans a large number of chunks, they always get the correct average amount of diamonds. There have been multiple threads on the issue already, all with this exact result...
You get to be Velma, so long as you are willing to say "Jinkies!" before you post. I call Scooby Doo.
Nah, no missing diamonds until you let someone else on your server. Then, every now and again, they decide to help themselves. Which is why we have tesla coils, obsidian pipes, and advanced safes.
Thank you for all of your stuff, Mr. Thief!
