Carbon Rotor Blade — Minecraft block

Carbon Rotor Blade

Carbon Rotor Blade is an IC2 crafting component (a part for building larger items); four blades and a Steel Shaft make a Carbon Rotor.

Description

Carbon Rotor Blade is an IndustrialCraft 2 crafting component that exists only to be built into a Carbon Rotor. One craft in the 3×3 grid turns 6 Carbon Plates and 3 Raw Carbon Mesh into 1 Carbon Rotor Blade: Raw Carbon Mesh fills the whole middle column, and Carbon Plates fill the left and right columns. Carbon Rotor Blade cannot be placed in the world and has no use outside the rotor recipe.

A Carbon Rotor needs 4 Carbon Rotor Blades and 1 Steel Shaft: the Steel Shaft sits in the center of the grid, and the 4 blades go directly above, below, left and right of the shaft. The finished Carbon Rotor has efficiency 1.0, the highest of the four wind rotor types (wood 0.25, iron 0.5, steel 0.75), and works at wind strength from 20 to 110. The rotor is placed in the GUI of a Kinetic Wind Generator, and the Carbon Rotor withstands stronger wind than the steel rotor, whose limit is 90.

Guide

How to craft a Carbon Rotor Blade in IC2

  1. 1

    Gather the materials

    The player collects 6 Carbon Plates and 3 Raw Carbon Mesh.

  2. 2

    Fill the crafting grid

    Raw Carbon Mesh goes into the three slots of the middle column of the 3×3 grid, and Carbon Plate goes into three slots on the left and three on the right.

  3. 3

    Take the result

    The result slot gives 1 Carbon Rotor Blade.

  4. 4

    Repeat the recipe

    The recipe is repeated three more times, because one Carbon Rotor needs 4 blades.

  5. 5

    Assemble the rotor

    Four blades and 1 Steel Shaft arranged in a plus shape make 1 Carbon Rotor: the shaft sits in the center and the blades on the four sides.

Measure the wind first

A Wind Meter shows the wind strength at the planned site, and the Carbon Rotor needs a wind strength of at least 20.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when wind strength passes 110?

Carbon Rotor keeps working, but its durability wears out 4 times faster.

How does the rotor produce energy?

The Kinetic Wind Generator produces kinetic energy, and a Kinetic Generator placed next to it converts that into EU. KU output equals wind strength times the output modifier times the rotor efficiency.

How do height and weather change the wind?

Below y = 64 the wind is too weak and the generator makes no EU at all. Wind is strongest around y = 160. Rain adds 25%, and storms add 50%.
