The engines can't output their energy because you attach them directly, and there's a whole bunch of variables like burst input and burst output, stroke length, internal energy buffers and other such shenanigans at work.

Short version: don't attach engines directly. Always use conductive pipes or conduits.

But they work until they reached 10k but ok how should i do that im a noob with MJ is a Wooden Conductive enought?

They work until 10k because then the internal buffer is full and they stop. (I think)
I think wooden conductive pipes are enough

Now i made it like so: http://epvpimg.com/8JGQg
now should it work 24/7 right?
and whats happend if the internal buffer is full but a wooden conductive is attached? does they stop again?

it just outputs to the pipe (IIRC pipes don't blow up anymore since you are on 1.5.2, but I can't test since I am still on 1.4.7 )
