Magma-power for !!science!!
« on: December 15, 2010, 01:01:59 pm »

I can't currently run .31.18 so someone else will have to do this.

Someone asked about bringing magma up from the depths and the thought struck me...

Do water wheels work in flowing magma?  Would nether-caps let you run a magma reactor to power the pumpstack?

I so wish I could test this myself.

Only water has flow, so even if you built a magma-safe waterwheel, it wouldn't do anything.

It wouldn't be out of place to have a steam power generator by combining magma and water though - but that is for the modding forum and not here. :)
