There are only 3 mods that I know of that can produce that much power. All of them are reactors. Rotarycraft/Reactorcraft add multiple real world reactor types. From standard reactor all the way to a giant multi block fussion reactor. I forget the numbers, but it could probably supply enough power to run all the bases at once of entire servers. Reika's mod scale is exponential, not linear like many others. Big reactors is capable of that much. They go up to around 20k RF/t each. That is with the normal multiplier. I know the current Resonant Rise guys are running a multiplier of 11 I think Saice said. So he had one putting out 170k RF/t. Last one that is capable is Atomic Science. Check out Toasted Baby on youtube in his new tekkit series to see them setup. I think they were making around 40k RF/t.
 
Talking about Atomic Science, anyone toyed with the latest version?
I've tried playing with the Plasma Heater (old name was Fusion Reactor) but I can't seem to send power into it for it to run. Tried TE3 and Ender IO cables but they don't work.

That's 13 hours and twenty minutes worth. Now the fun part is figuring out how to automate that.
You can make golems that can kill the wither in TC 4.1. Ward a small room, spawn the wither, out a thaumium golem there and make sure you have combat upgrades. Use the guard animation core.
 
Anyone know how to convert RotaryCraft MW to RF?

My tiny 3x3 fission reactor outputs at 940MW using water. I'm told feeding it ammonia will double that.
 
lol I'm so sorry, I should have rephrased that. Does anyone know what the mathematical conversion rate is? (Not how to mechanically convert them)

5628W = 1RF/t

Unfortunately, the Rotational Dynamo has been nerfed to about 46RF/t, so you would need a lot of them for the conversion
 
Ok I forget my elementary math apparently so I need this confirming. Does that mean I'm producing 167k RF/T? :p

Which means I'd need 4 dynamos to convert.

The 167k RF/t is approx. correct. But you would need around 4000 dynamos to convert it........:eek:

Wrong. The dynamo has input limits of 8192Nm @ 8192 rad/s; anything over either is lost. So if you direct-drive a hydrokinetic to it (16384Nm @ 32 rad/s), you only get 8192Nm @ 32 rad/s, or a 50% loss, and where that 46RF/t figure keeps coming from. Direct-drive a jet engine to it (1024Nm @ 65536 rad/s) and you have the opposite problem. Taking in 8 megawatts, it makes 1490.5 RF/t.

Done properly, a Rotational Dynamo can convert up to 67MW of power, or or 11924 RF/t.

Many thanks for the clarification. That helps a lot. So I need to start work on a 256:1 gearbox of some sort in order to convert hydrokinetic shaft power to RF with low loss?

Also known as two 16:1 gearboxes.
Though you know what? I will add a 256x gearbox. Expensive as hell, needs lubricant, and really compact. :)
