Windmill Better With Mods
Note: Please delete your configuration file when updating to 0.7 as the new energy system uses different values and variables.This mod adds four tiers of wind turbines based on Thermal Expansion's machine frames (basic, hardened, reinforced, and resonant) with increasing RF generation and internal storage. The exact RF/t varies depends on altitude, space around the block, and the efficiency of the attached rotor, with the turbine producing no energy at all at a height of 60 blocks or below, and producing maximum energy at an altitude of 100 blocks or more. The turbine also needs space for the air to flow, and so placing blocks in direct line (a 3x3 tunnel) of the rotor (closer than 10 blocks) will also reduce the turbines effectiveness.

Weather also alters the effectiveness, with harsh weather conditions increasing the RF/t. The rotor can also be turned by hand to produce energy at a reduced rate.By default the a maximum of 40 RF/t is assumed to be collected from the wind.
