Minecraft | Mekanism Tutorial | Infinite Renewable Energy!

Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to another video in this video we’re actually going to be uh doing a minecraft tutorial on a little system for mechanism infinite power now for those that aren’t familiar mechanism is one of those uh techie mods that usually come in uh

Technic mod packs or feed the beast and stuff like that i hadn’t previously used it but i’ve uh just discovered it like literally this month and i i really do like it it’s uh it’s got a nice array of machines and you know it’s it’s really fun so um if

You’ve not used it i recommend you give it a go and if you are i’d recommend you use this system especially when you’re starting out as a in my opinion is the best for power generation so how this little system works is it basically uses ethylene gas produced by this little setup here

Now how this works is the crusher this machine here will take uh things like apples or saplings stuff that you know is biological and it will turn it into biofuel feeding it into this machine the pressurized reaction chamber while at the same time this electrolytic

Separator i know a big word but no need to be intimidated it’s uh it’s a fairly easy machine to use once i tell you what it does it basically separates water or any other thing into its two like separate like gases so in the case of water it’s hydrogen and oxygen because h2o

So that gets fed in here and what happens is it takes the biofuel mixes it with water and hydrogen and it turns into ethylene gas and that ethylene gas gets burned it’s really efficient and actually outputs a decent amount of power it is like self-powering and it will actually power the rest of

Your machines for a fair while so to know how to build it you will need a electrolytic separator a pressurized reaction chamber a crusher a trash can an electric pump and a gas burning generator to know how to craft all of these just look in your mod menu and most

Likely you are playing with a pack uh which you can actually like search up the um you know how to build certain things if that’s the case just have a look at them and see how they’re built yeah if you’re not there’s a wikipedia like for all this stuff as a wiki for

This stuff so you can search it up um i won’t tell you how to build them here because obviously it will take far far too long however if you need a hand just let me know so to start it off find a nice open bit in

Your base you know it doesn’t have to be huge but a nice open like room you’ve got dedicated to it probably would be nice three blocks in the floor oops there we go create a little infinite water source and what you’re gonna do is you’re gonna grab your electric pump

Now you’ll notice it has two outputs the top output is always for the water but the second output is for the power now you can face that any other way but the water will always come at the top so what you want to do is you want to

Just choose like an angle where it’s easiest to plug in i’m just using this because i’ve got a lot of open space that’s pretty straightforward we’re just going to put down a universal cable just so we know where that is so you’re going to leave a

Block gap and then you’re going to come here and place the pressurized reaction chamber facing the pump and you’re gonna leave a block gap and you’re gonna place the crusher also facing this direction you’re gonna do the same on the other side leave a block gap and place the electrolytic separator

Yep they’re all facing that way towards the pump this uh will make sense in a little bit once i explain it then you want to hook these things up first i’d recommend finding a place for the power to go i usually like just running the power like this for this smaller setup

Although if you’re doing a bigger setup it might be worthwhile doing like another method but this will work fine for the nice small one so then what you’re going to do is you’re going to leave a block gap and then come here and you are going to place

Your gas burning generator drought grab right now now it has several outputs but the green one again is where the power comes out all the other ones are for gas input so make sure at least one of these uh like ambery red ones is facing the pressurized reaction chamber

The green one can be facing any of these three directions we’re just going to put it here for this example so you’re going to take a logistical transporter and you’re going to put it in between pressurized reaction chamber and the crusher that’s a basic logistical transporter okay then you’re gonna come here in

Between the electrolytic separator and the pressurized reaction chamber and you are going to place a basic pressurized tube that’s a pressurized tube all right and then you’re also going to place a pressurized tube in between the generator and the reaction chamber makes sense so far i hope so mechanical pipe

Is for water and other liquids so you’re going to actually run that out of the top of the pump and into the pressurized reaction chamber and then you’re also going to need to feed it into the electrolytic separator like so as these are the two machines that will require water

Don’t be alarmed if none of these things plug in right away as we’re going to fix that in just a little bit so what you’re going to want to do is take your universal cable remember this is your power cable the universal cable and you’re going to want to run it up

And over these that makes sure that this will actually power the system while it’s powering everything else so it’ll be able to just keep going now we’re going to resolve that issue of some things not plugging into each other for example the basic mechanical pipe will not by default plug into the pressurized

Reaction chamber so we’re going to do is come in here go to site config then what you want to going to do is come to lick to fluids i mean and then click this button on the top here and there you go it will plug in this just means you’re taking fluids

In the top which is what we want that is good and then here you’ll notice the items from this won’t go into this easy fix so what it can help is if you look at it from the front so look at it from this way

Open it up and then we want things to not output that way obviously but we want things to input from this side the left side so click this button here and now you’ll notice things plug in that’s lovely also your one you’re going to want to press gas on this one here

Make it red you can turn off this one as we’re not taking any gas from this side and just make sure to press this button here so this says eject on okay so it’s blue there red there lovely so now everything should be hooked up to one another

And should function properly now the reason we’re actually having the machines face this way it is quite specific as this machine will only output hydrogen from its right side so it facing forward it’s right side this side will only ever output oxygen and while you might need oxygen for other

Things we only need hydrogen for this machine to work um now come in here and you’re going to want to press this button here dump excess so what that will do is if you’re not going to use the oxygen which presumably at the start of the game you’re not

This will just dump the extra oxygen that way it won’t fill up on oxygen and stop functioning this machine is now ready to run all you need to do is get some bio-fuel so what we’re going to do is we’re going to get some apples as they are the most

Efficient biofuel as one of these produces for biofuel we’re going to place in here and then we’re going to jump start it now presumably at the start of the game you’re going to have a Heat generator one of these which takes coal and turns it into electricity i always find these are very very very inefficient because they they burn up all your coal supplies and they don’t really give you that much back so you’re just going to dump a bunch of

Coal into it and effectively use it as like a a jump starter for the rest of your machine so as you can see it is now pumping fluid the crusher is now running which will now produce our biofuel the hydrogen is being dumped into here as you can see

Which is lovely we’re gonna see a biofuel come into the pressurized reaction chamber in just a second as everything starts to fill up with water which is perfect oh the biofuel isn’t coming out that reminds me you should make sure to have this always on on eject on there it is it is

Now going in there and is now being processed into ethylene gas but you’ll notice it also creates this thing called substrate which most likely you won’t have a use for unless you do but should you not have a use for it there’s an easy way to get rid of it

Take a trash can or anything like that from extra utilities and then you’re going to place it here right and then you’re going to come here and you’re going to go to the bottom and you’re going to choose output this will make sure that our stuff like the the substrate

Gets dumped because if this fills up the machine will stop because it can’t produce anymore you’re gonna go from here check that to output and then click auto eject and bam there goes your substrate it’s going into the bin so this machine can keep running you can now remove your heat generator

As this is now self-sufficient the ethylene will burn as the machine runs but it uses between zero and one burn rate so it is really efficient and you can upgrade these machines to be more energy efficient so this little system will last you for quite a while at least at the beginning

Of any playthrough um but you might ask oh but why would like what is like the next step from here like would i have to go into like nuclear reactors or something well if you want to stick with gas i have been experimenting over here with a system that uses basically um

A more kind of like beefed out version of what’s over there as you can see it uses an enderio farm to basically spam farm these oak trees and output the wood saplings and apples you get a ton of wood from it which is a nice side effect i suppose like this is

You know 18 000 wood that’s always nice but it also outputs an insane number of saplings and apples those saplings and apples become huge huge amounts of biofuel which is actually powering two pressurized reaction chambers and which are almost full of ethylene gas but the main concept of this is the same

As what we built over there just with more running through it i have about what is this a 10 gas burning generators here and they’re all filled up with ethylene now right now i have a creative cube but if i was to take a let’s see if we take an energy cube

To just show you guys how much this can actually create a system like this can actually generate over 50 million rf like in under maybe i’d say 30 seconds 40 seconds now that’s an insane amount and this can keep going basically forever the only time it will ever stop is if

You actually aren’t using all of the power the materials like saplings will back up but that’s never a bad thing that just means you’ve got more of what you actually need so a system like this could realistically power an end game base maybe not one this small maybe you’d

Want to make it bigger maybe smaller depending on what you’re doing but it’s very modular i think i think depending on the kind of things you’re feeding it it could just run forever which is really cool but again you’ll mainly be starting off with these kind of ones which is a good

Starting point but that’s it that’s this tutorial if you guys need a hand let me know in the comments and i’ll make sure to try and help you out best as i can if you enjoyed this video and want to see more subscribe and like if you didn’t like the video then

There’s always a dislike button but why would you ever press that that’s just that’s just yeah why would you press that button um yeah no let me know if you guys want to see any other tutorials or minecraft videos i also host my own technic pack server it’s running the 1.12.2 pack

If you guys want to join that let me know you can hit me up on my discord which will be in the description down below and just you know if you guys want to see this kind of machine in action or you guys want to build one with me on

A server then let me know yeah until next time guys uh have a great day slash night flash evening gotta love time zones bye-bye everyone bye-bye
