Energy

Placing a hot fluid on one side and a cold fluid on the opposing side generates energy based on the difference between the two temperatures.

Liquid	Temperature (K)
Gelid Cryotheum	50
Tinkers' Construct Glue	200
Crushed Ice	265
Water	300
Lava	1300
Tinkers' Construct Molten Metals	1300
ExtraTiC Molten Metals	1300
Blazing Pyrotheum	4000

The following list contains other, non-fluid blocks, which can be used as sources of temperature.

Block	Temperature (K)
Packed Ice	200
Ice	273
Uranium Block	2000
Yellorium Block	2000
Blutonium Block	4000

To calculate the RF output from the Thermoelectric Generator use the following formula: $\lfloor \frac{\sqrt{hot-cold}}{2}\rfloor$

Using lava and water: $\lfloor \frac{\sqrt{1300-300}}{2}\rfloor =15RF/t$

The most effective method of generating power is using Blutonium or Blazing Pyrotheum as the hot source with Gelid Cryotheum as the cold source: $\lfloor \frac{\sqrt{4000-50}}{2}\rfloor =31RF/t$
