How to Generate Basic Rotational Power

Every contraption requires a generator to create rotational force and stress capacity. You can choose from simple water power, thermal fans, or industrial engines depending on your available resources.

Setting Up a Water Wheel

The Water Wheel provides an easy way to generate basic power without consuming fuel:

1. Place down a Water Wheel in an open area.

2. Use a water bucket to direct flowing water around the outer rim of the wheel.

3. Ensure all water flows in the same direction around the wheel. If water collides or flows the wrong way, the wheel's rotational speed is cut in half.

4. Connect a Shaft to the center of the wheel to draw out rotational power.

Generating Power with Fans and Furnace Engines

• Thermal Encased Fan: Place an Encased Fan facing straight downward directly above a block of fire or lava. Provide a Redstone signal to the fan. Instead of consuming rotation to blow air, the fan will generate rotational force from the heat below.
• Furnace Engine: Attach a Furnace Engine to a standard furnace and connect a flywheel. Light the furnace with fuel; while the furnace remains lit, the assembly outputs high Stress Capacity to run heavy machinery. If the furnace runs out of fuel and turns off, all power generation stops immediately.
