Is there any way to convert from MJ to EU?

[the_martines]

Hey. I know it is possible in the opposite direction.

I would like to generate EU from oil. is it possible?

There's no direct method of doing this in the current modpack.

Either install power converters mod (this'll be SSP only), or take a look at the petroleum generator thread on here.

or you're stuck with oil->fuel->magma crucible+netherrack/stone->lava->IC2 geothermal.

Thank you for your reply. I'll stick with the current modpack as I don't want the game to become too easy

You could always use the oil to power some sort of fuel for the Fermenter and the bio generator.

My initial idea was to generate some easy energy from the redstone engine and convert it into EU, it would be much cheaper to craft than the IC2 infinite energy sources (wind, solar, water etc.)
Would make the game muche easier though.

if you go for a boiler you could power a steam turbine with it. i think it produces EU.
the boiler could be heated with biofuel or something.
so no direct MJ to EU conversion, but at least it would be nothing but MJ-powered mods before the steam turbine.

You can generate lava to use in geothermal with magma crucible. Not direct power for power but essentially the same.

I have Blutricity Engines and I am wanting to convert the output (MJ) to a storable EU power for creating a self-sustaining diamond farm. Is there a way to do this?

But why.. this thread is 5 months old. You brought it back from the dead and it just wanted to die.

Same answer as already mentioned in this post, turn the MJ (generated by the BT Kinetic Engine) into lava, and use that lava to make EU.

Converting through lava is ancient technology from a bygone era. The PowerConverters mod offers efficient, resource-light conversion in either direction.

Bit too efficient in my taste.

Only if you use a pack that has that mod. Personally I like manipulating mods to convert between power types, instead of having a block that "does it". More creative and more challenging.

If you don't want to use Power Converters, the mod that never gets mentioned when this topic crops up is Modular Forcefields. The MFFS Extractor can turn MJ into force energy (this does cost Forcicium), then the MFFS Converter can turn force energy into EU.

Diesel engines will burn fuel. Semi fluid will burn oil. Both are GregTech

From the forums there is a lot of... hate? i dont want to say that... but yes.. using the power converters mod is the most efficent and easiest way at this point...
You would have to start with an energy bridge and then use consumers and producers to get what you want out of it. I'd prolly look up the mod spotlight or just figure it out from what i mentioned there =p.
