Sure you could chain a bunch of them, but that's proving to be more and more unrealistic. Eventually, it will be time to leave your turbines behind and generate power via [[Generator]]s.

+All one has to do to draw power from it to provide it an electrical load; it will start passing heat through it to produce electricity to meet the demand. Ideally, a heat dissapator should be waiting on the other end to keep the temperature difference ideal, but it's also possible to put another heat turbine to extract even more energy. It's very difficult to pull off without careful planning though!
-Every machine and turbine/engine have only one terminal. The other one is hidden and connected to ground.
+Remember: Every machine and generator has only one terminal. This is because the other terminal is already connected to ground, reducing the need to loop wires.

		+	When converting from heat energy into electrical energy, up to 28.16% of the energy can be converted while the rest is unavoidably lost. This means that an non-upgraded heat furnace can produce 1000W of heat and therefore generate up to 281.6W of electrical power.
