A "Turbine" in ReactorCraft is a type of shaft power generator. It can generate rougly 950 megawatts at 65536 rad/s and ~14500 Nm by taking in steam made by reactors such as the basic HTGR, the classic Fission Reactor, or the highly complex Fusion Reactor (ReactorCraft). If you are powering the turbine with steam made by ammonia, the power output from the turbine is doubled, to nearly 2 gigawatts.

Recipe

Usage

As should be expected from ReactorCraft, using the turbine is complicated.

To start, turbines can be chained together to multiply the power output. Up to five can be placed in a row, and only with five turbines can you reach the promised ~950 MW output. This makes them very expensive - each full turbine costs roughly 1000 HSLA steel ingots and 60 tungsten ingots.

Turbines are large, and need to be placed in the center of a 7x7 square of air space. Some of the space around the edges can be filled in once placed, but you will need a large area to place them initially.

Turbines consume lubricant to run, and a lot of it. You will need a large canola farm to support even one turbine.

Turbines also need steam to power them. This steam is generated by a [[|]], and fed to the reactor by a Steam Grate. The steam grate needs to be at least two blocks below the first turbine block in your turbine, and it needs to be connected (via Steam Line to your steam boilers. Once connected and supplied with steam, it will flow through the turbine, and the turbine will begin to spin.

Once you have a turbine spinning, you will quickly realize a need to deal with the steam. This is done with the Condenser. If a steam block touches this machine, it will absorb the block as low-pressure water or ammonia. Either fluid can then be re-pressurized in a Rotary Compressor, then fed back to the steam boilers. It is usually not worth the effort to reclaim water, as there are a million billion ways to generate infinite water, but ammonia is not so easily created.

Damage

If any creature touches a running turbine, it will take damage, and the turbine will be damaged. A damaged turbine produces significantly less power, has low torque and speed. If you break a damaged turbine, the steel shaft core will fall out of it. As a result, you will lose a lot of steel and tungsten, so by all means do not allow damage to the turbine
