How to Generate Electricity with the Alternator

Generating Forge Energy from Rotation

The Alternator is the primary machine for converting Create's kinetic rotation into Forge Energy (FE). When you connect a kinetic shaft or gear setup to the Alternator, it converts incoming rotational force into electricity at 75% efficiency.

1. Place the Alternator directly inline with a powered rotational shaft from your kinetic network.

2. Ensure your rotational source provides sufficient speed and stress capacity to spin the Alternator.

3. The Alternator converts the mechanical rotation into Forge Energy. You can inspect the block directly to check kinetic stats and view the amount of energy being generated.

Exporting the Power

Once the Alternator is running, hook up electrical connections to pull power out:

• Attach an electrical connector directly to the Alternator.
• Use wire spools to string wires from the Alternator's connector to your electrical machines or power storage.
• You can hold a Multimeter to inspect connections and monitor active energy flow along your grid.
• If testing setups in a creative environment without a kinetic system, you can use the Creative Generator to provide unlimited Forge Energy instead.
