63 I learned a new way in inductive automation to get power
dry biomass to make steam (and turn this back into power for a bit more efficiency as the drying costs power)
Use the dried biomass to make charcoal and gaseous hydrogen (This seems counter intuitive as dry biomass lasts 4 times as long as charcoal but we want a lot of power quick, not slow and steady).
Use said charcoal like you normally would (thus make more steam)
Use an liquid collector and set it into oxygen mode (this means it will collect gasseous oxygen from the air without any power costs. You can probably guess the next step)
pump the hydrogen and oxygen into an hydrogen fuel cell.Which in a nutshell does 2L hydrogen + 1L oxygen =⇒ 1L steam + 1.8kJ.
use the steam to make even more power.
Without the power you get from the steam (thus only the hydrogen fuel cell) you get a nice 144 kW a tick assuming maximum speed and at a max voltage of 8000V (You can set this yourself if I remember correctly).
Also, did you note the amount of ways this has to get steam? That is another reason I like inductive automation, a lot of its machines have by products that are actually useful for other things or can increase the efficiency of your current build if you use them instead of trashing it.
Also, as for a guidance on how much power a tick this give, the best steam turbine accepts steam at 600L/t and only produces 120kW and to give this enough steam you need a lot of steam boilers, I really mean a lot of them....also, a single operation with its electric furnace uses 200kJ (and can work at a speed of 1 operation/tick)
So..in a nutshell, maybe not the most efficient way to get power but a good way to boost the kW's you are producing
