Electrolyzer

[Mageleon3860]

i've been having some problems with this machine, now since i've gone further up on machines has in getting, rotary macerators, inductions furnaces and singularity compressors i wanna upgrade my extractor but i cant get the cells required.

could someone simple tell me how to power this machine or does it not work?

i've tried the following

• buildcraft power
  
• mfe > machine
  
• solar panels > machince
  
• generator
  
• geo-thermal generator
  

am i missing something? im not the cheating type if i can't get something

Edit:

Having problems with forcefields has well someone care to explain

You must place the Electrolyzer directly next to either a MFSU, MFE or Batbox. Wires won't work.

Note: It does not have to be connected to the output face for it to work. But it does have to have at least one water cell in it.

So how does a generator not work? they kinda work the same has a MFSU, MFE or Batbox in some ways.

just editd the main post.

the electrolyzer can charge or discharge water cells into electrolyzed cells as a means of "backup" for a storage unit. this is why only storage devices can power it and why it must contact the storage device directly and not be cabled like a machine.

Also, MFFS requires its own power. You'll need an MFFS Generator Core and an MFFS EU Injector.

the injector must be placed such that it touches the bottom of the core unit. and then of course you need redstone to turn them on.

Isn't the injector an item? Oh yeah, MFFS 1. Please Technic crew, update to Thunderdark's MFFS2! It's better in almost every way, and it doesn't look like crap either! :/

The electrolyzer is a non-power block, meaning it has no input/output sides for EU. You place it right next to a MFE or a MFSU and you put water cells in the left slot of the electrolyzer. If the MFE/MFSU is charged over 75%, the electrolyzer slowly takes EU at a rate of 10/t. It takes 15000/10=1500 ticks to completely fill a water cell, but you lose 10% of the EU. So electrolyzed water cells actually store 13500 EU. Whenever the MFE or MFSU's charge drops below 75%, the electrolyzed water cells that were still in there will be turned back into water cells and they give off the stored 13500 EU. This is basically what the wikipage says about this.

Thanks didn't really get what the cells did except be used to make something

i figured that out just not getting power to the core.

ahh.. thats what i did wrong i knew i needed the core and injector thank you.

yes i agree i've seen many reviews over that and it is so much simpliar.

O.o kinda tricky to keep up with this but i understand :)
