=== Internal/External Control (A) ===
 
 
If set to internal control, you can move the Gauges yourself. If set to external, the Gauges are controlled by a signal coming in over a [[Signal Cable]].
 
 
=== Take/Decline Fuel (B) ===
 
 
If under Internal control, this controls whether the Furnace will consume fuel. If it is left off, the furnace won't consume any fuel.
 
 
=== Regulator Slot (C) ===
 
 
Normally only the Control Gauge can be controlled. If you have a [[Regulator]] installed, you can set a particular temperature for the furnace to hold. The [[Regulator|Analog Regulator]] does so gradually, finding the exact right control setting, while the 1%/10% regulators work approximately like a standard thermostat.
 
 
=== Combustion Chamber Slot (D) ===
 
 
At least 1 [[Combustion Chamber]] is needed for the Stone Heat Furnace to work. Add a second to improve efficiency.
 
 
=== Fuel Slot (E) ===
 
 
Insert combustible fuel here.
 
 
=== Temperature Gauge (F) ===
 
 
Shows the current temperature of the furnace. Requires a regulator to be able to be controlled.
 
 
===Control Gauge (G) ===
 
  
Sets the rate at which to burn fuel in %. At a setting under 10%, no fuel will be burned, and the Furnace is effectively off.

Wind Turbine
Wind Turbine.png
Block type: Multiblock
Powered by: Wind (No fuel required)
Requirements for operation: None
Stackable: Yes (64)


THIS ARTICLE IS STILL WORK IN PROGRESS!!! The Wind Turbine provides power of 160W at ~50v (Depending On Wind Power) Can be connected to other blocks via Cable. It's one of the simplest forms of generating power

Positioning

The Higher, The Better Try po position your Wind Turbine As high as it is posible (on a hill or build a tower) Make sure that nothing obstructs airflow: No blocks either at the front, or the back of a Windmill (tip: Power generation is higher during rain or storm)
