Yes, seriously!
No, but I'm not sure how to use it correctly... :(

I have some glass fibre cables set up to 16 water mills, and I really want to find out how much they generate but for some reason I get so many different results each time I analyze it.

Here's my heavily edited picture, I hope you can understand, cheers! :)

You should wait more than half a second to take the reading because passive mode water mills do not produce EU every tick.

PS. Tin cables can handle water mill output and they have the same loss as glass fibre so you're wasting glass fibre on that.

But the results are still way far from eachother, I'll try a few more times I suppose... :)

I had troubles finding tin so used some gold I found and made diamonds using the minium stone, that's why I'm using glass fibre cables.

Are those results correct?

The absolute maximum power you can get with 16 unmanned water mills is 4 EU/t and that is by having each of them surrounded completely by water except for the piece of cable to transfer the power. If you don't do the optimal way you're going to get weird numbers because they do not output regularly and there are 16 of them. You can possibly go around this problem in reading the output by using two energy storage devices in line and read the current between them instead which should equal the water mill output. Use a BatBox for the first one so the packets are more evenly distributed.
