I have truble making my "axel" transfering power. I have built waterwheel conected to gear assembly, then one more GA on to tre axle, GA, GA to a screw pump

X**X (up until here I have power)

Legend:
X: Wall

I: Axle
Wheel: water wheel

My axles are three seperat axles

Anyone got a suggestion?

For the actual topic: Gears and axles have energy costs themselves. A single waterwheel won't, IIRC, give enough to power a construction like the one depicted. You Require More Vespene Gas, or in this case, another waterwheel. Alternatively, if the power is sufficient, check the states of the assemblies, and try dismantling/rebuilding them in succession.

For the post itself: I am very curious because despite it being obvious you are capable of perfectly good grammar, this ability is completely unused for the first half of the post. Not to mention the topic title. I mean seriously, ENGERY TRUBLE?. I suppose you meant energy trouble.

G HEIL!

I am perfectly fine with people having consistently bad grammar. Well, not perfectly fine, but whatever. They may be unable, or in a hurry, or something else. But here, we have a person that is clearly able of constructing intelligible phrases in English, yet exhibits blatant disregard for this ability, starting from the topic title and gradually levelling out at "decent" by the end of the post. That's uncommon - if anything, it's usually the other way around.

Apperently there is a lite teacher here to

Thanx though!

Hey, don't be unfair to non-native speakers. Yes, his grammar has room for improvement, but on the other hand, it is not his native tongue. How would it look like if you had to ask a question in german, italian, french, whatever?

How the hell do you know that?

On topic, bypassing the grammar nazis..

It's not the power output. A single waterwheel can do more than power a single pump and a few GAs (specifically, your set-up of 1 pump, 5 GAs and 3 axles should still produce 52 Urist of surplus power. You probably mistook the direction of the axles. Vertical axles transmit power up or down z levels, not north and south. If it's not that, then you maybe forgot to change the horizontal axle's orientation ((s) I believe it is)

[Sean Mirrsen]

I wasn't ridiculing the bad grammar, btw. Look at the last sentences of the OP. Starting from "up until here I have power", there's just one misspelled word to the end of the post. Even the "I have built waterwheel" sentence is coherent. And then we have the "engery truble". You can spell, man! You have the ability, you only need to use it! At least in topic titles.

[BigJake]

Not to mention the intentional misspelling of axle in quotes.

[Medicine Man]

Maybe he meant Axel Rose. Axel Rose dosen't seem to be in any songs with power.

That was my first thought, too.  Unfortunately, his name is Axl.

This  is by far the most funny post I have writen in quite a while!

The fact is I am Swedish, you know one of the blond, tall nordic people. And there for my native language is Swedish.
The by the fact that my spelling change. It is mostly a focus aspect. Try Swedish, it is supposedly one of the three hardest laguages to learn, speaking or writing

Interesting. What is this law you speak of? Please elaborate.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
