I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about limits to the amount of power you can pump through a tesseract (MJ/t wise)? I know you lose 25%, but is there any upper-limit to how much will pass through one tesseract.
I haven't been very scientific about it, but in my setup I had about 20 restone energy cells with conduit down the side that leads to 3 full size boilers powering them up (Looking they're fully charged). I then have a cable up the energy cells (All wrenched to orange), and 1 cable out from that for a conduit (wrenched blue) to a send-only energy tesseract. At this point I'd expect to be able to pull 20 * 100 * 0.75 = 1500 MJ/t, at least till my 20 energy cells run out, but it doesn't seem willing to pull more than 100.
The problem I then get is that in my bee farm when I start pulling large amounts of power (Using multiple extrabees machines at once) I run out of power. The pull is nothing like 1500 MJ/t - more like 300-400ish ballpark. Looking back at base the energy cells still have power, and multi-tooling around it looks like only about 100 energy is actually going into the tesseract. I tried making more input tesseracts and it feels like more is being transferred (Haven't measured specifically, but with 3 send tesseracts hooked to the same line of conduits it keeps up with my usage, with 1 it didn't). I didn't seem to need multiple receiving, just sending.
I had a theory it could only pull from 1 cell, but once I dropped all 20 cells to "10" output instead of 100 I could see it was still getting the same power and pulling from 10 so I don't think that's it... If nobody knows I'll likely do some experiments in creative and measure it a bit more accurately but I thought someone might know & save me some effort
