How to Make Iron Turbine Rotor in Minecraft

Iron Turbine Rotor is the consumable rotating part of Industrial Craft 2 kinetic power, crafted from 1 Iron Shaft and 4 Iron Rotor Blades arranged in a plus shape with the shaft in the center. A Kinetic Wind Generator or a Kinetic Water Generator accepts the rotor in its GUI and turns wind or flowing water into kinetic energy, which a Kinetic Generator placed next to the machine converts into EU. Iron Turbine Rotor efficiency is 0.5 in the output formula wind strength × output modifier × rotor efficiency — double the Wood Rotor's 0.25 and half the Carbon Rotor's 1.0. A 7-block rotor circle needs free space in front of the turbine, and rotation starts only at wind strength 14 MCW, a value a Wind Meter shows on the spot.

Iron Turbine Rotor durability is 86,400 seconds — one full day of nonstop spinning — and the worn-out part has to be replaced, so turbine farms always stock spares. Wind above 75 MCW keeps the turbine running but burns rotor durability four times faster. In river, ocean, and deep ocean biomes the same Iron Turbine Rotor runs a Kinetic Water Generator fully submerged in water, a job the Wood Rotor cannot take at all. The Electric Boat recipe also spends one Iron Turbine Rotor together with three Copper Cables, four Iron, and one Electric Motor. For a mid-game grid, Iron Turbine Rotor is the balanced middle step between the short-lived Wood Rotor and the top-tier Carbon Rotor, and both rotor-driven turbines accept it.
