Summary0001333: Energy loop: stirling engine / electric heat generator
DescriptionFor sure in terms of energy conversion it is not a good idea to hook stirling
engines up with electric heat generators. However I did this when experimenting
with the heat transfer feature.

For any machines I tried (if there I am not wrong) I found a rate of 1EU -> 1 HU
and 2 HU -> 1 EU which is fine concerning thermodynamics.

However by hooking up stirling engines with electric heat generators this causes
an energy loop because the stirling engine tries to power the electric heat
generator, resulting in an energy loss of more than 50%.

In my view this makes no sense.

Direct nergy transfer from a stirling engine to a heater should be prevented as
it causes also an enourmous energy flickering in the E-Net if the heater is not
supplied with sufficent power.

Tested with IC2 Version: industrialcraft-2-2.2.613 / Forge Version: 1.7.10-10.13.0.1200
Steps To ReproduceHook up stirling engine with electric heat generator, supply it with power from
a bat box (for energy limiting).

Why would you convert EU to Heat, then back to EU? Can't see why you'd want to restrict it really, if someone's silly enough to waste EU like that, they deserve the flicking :P

close break rule B3... "should be prevented" its more a Discuss game mechanics and NOT a BUG use suggestions or Support forum...
