Greetings to all. In this guide I will tell you how to get a lot of energy from lava.
You will say that there is something incomprehensible here, I installed geothermal generators and just sit there and don’t give a damn. However, one geothermal generator is capable of producing only 20 eu/t, which is very low. Yes, at the initial stage this is quite good, but in the process of development everyone switches to a more profitable and convenient source of energy - reactors, wind turbines or solar panels. Everyone forgets about such a wonderful source of energy as lava and loses interest in using it. Now let's start luring masses of players into the Nether...Here is a version of the finished power plant.
It generates 1800 eu/t, which corresponds to 90 geothermal generators.
It’s worth imagining a dozen pumps that suck lava out of poor hell, almost a hundred geothermal heaters, a bunch of pipes and wires connecting it all... Personally, I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of a server’s hardware...
I will list all the necessary components for building a plant with a capacity of 450 EU/t. We will need:
1. 1 Pump.
2. 1 Electric motor.
3. A number of gold liquid pipes.
4. Several pipe plugs.
5. 2 Liquid heat exchangers.
6.20 Heat pipes.
7. 5 Improvement "Liquid ejector".
8. 1 Capacitor.
9. 1 Liquid distributor.
10. 1 Tank of any volume.
11. 1 Pulse gate.
12.2 Hollow liquid pipes.
13. 2 Kinetic steam generators + 2 steam turbines.
14. 1 Steam generator.
15. 2 Kinetic Generators.
That's all. Now let's start construction.The first thing to do is find a larger lava lake. Yes, there is a lot of it, but even in hell it is not endless.
After we found appropriate place, install pump. We connect to it Engine And pipe.
Further - Liquid heat exchangers. Insert them in upwards, 10 at a time. Heat pipelines. Turn the holes towards the center towards each other.
The next step is installation Steam generator. It will be located between two Liquid heat exchangers. We configure the parameters in it: Pressure 221BAR, water production - 1mB/t.
Now Kinetic steam generators. We install them before Steam generator one after another. We insert into each of them Steam turbine and by Improvement "Liquid ejector". Far from Steam generator pushing should occur to the side Steam generator. In the other - up. Don't forget to turn them with the key in any direction.
We continue to blurt out. To the distant Kinetic steam generator install Capacitor. All we do with it is installation Improvements "Liquid Ejector" to the side Steam generator.
Let's take one more action. On Steam generator need to be delivered Liquid distributor. RMB on it, set the “Concentration” mode. Now it, already the only green hole, should be turned down into Steam generator.
The last step is installation Tanks, Pipes And Kinetic generators. We put tank into the only hole of our installation. Pour a few capsules into it Distilled water. What matters is that Steam generator And Liquid distributor ultimately must be filled in completely, however, in Cistern There must be free space of at least 1 capsule. If everything is done correctly - in Steam generator liquid will flow. We use pipes to pump liquid from Tanks V Liquid distributor. Now we set it to 1 Hollow liquid pipe above Liquid heat exchangers. We attach 1 at a time Kinetic generator from the side Kinetic steam generators. Installation should be on the side without blades. (You can see it in the screenshot above) Don’t forget to rotate them wrench V the opposite side. As a result, we get something similar to this:
That's all. Now you can bring the lava to Liquid heat exchangers. Whether from behind or from below, it doesn’t matter.
And now a little about the main drawback this method obtaining energy. When unloading a chunk (if you exit the game, go digging for resources, visit someone's store) there is a chance that the Kinetic Steam Generator will hit superheated steam. After this, stable operation of the device will be impossible. Apparently there is some kind of bug. Therefore, here are some solutions:
1. Stand AFK near the plant.
2. Buy an anchor. It will load your chunks, preventing the steam from getting buggy.
3. Turn off the power supply to the installation before each exit from the server/trips to the mine or store.
Happy everyone, good luck)
Hello, Minecraft fans. The editor of Play`N`Trade is with you - the sailor, and today I will tell you.
How to make an endless lava source in minecraft
The first thing we need to do is craft a bucket. It is done very simply. First you need to get iron. You can get it in a mine, or knock it out from a golem that you killed. If iron ore was mined from a mine, then you need to put it in the furnace and wait until it is smelted. After this, place the melted iron in the fourth, sixth and eighth cells in the workbench.
Let's dig up some cobblestones right away. Cobblestone is the best thing you can make from endless source lava in minecraft, since lava cannot set it on fire. And we go with a bucket to the mine, or the lower world, in order to pour lava into this bucket.
Once you have found everything you need, we begin construction. We need an area five by five blocks long and six blocks high. We drop two blocks down into the territory, after which we fill it with blocks of cobblestones below and make a kind of pool (cover everything in a circle with cobblestones). Now let's go up a couple of blocks and make another similar bottom, but leave a place in the center where we will later fill it with lava. We complete our construction by laying out the sides again. All that remains is to pour lava into the hole and the source is ready!
This concludes my article. There was a sailor with you and today I told how to make an endless lava source in minecraft. Have a good game!
There is no person in the world who would not sometimes like to relax, forget about pressing problems, and look at something pleasant and calming. But it’s rare to sit by the fire, looking at the fire, or think about the meaning of life while listening to the sound of a waterfall. As it turns out, there is an item on store shelves that has a calming function, it’s called a “lava lamp.”
Surely someone has seen similar devices on sale, but the price is a little confusing. It makes sense to figure out whether it is possible to make such a device at home with your own hands.
Design and manufacturing capability
This device was invented in the mid-60s by the Englishman Walker, and was a glass jar containing oil and liquid paraffin. A simple light bulb was installed under it, which heated the container. According to the laws of physics, the heated paraffin rose to the top, and when it cooled down, it sank to the bottom again. This fascinating movement of bizarre forms of paraffin gave rise to the widespread use of lava lamps.
So, if even in the middle of the last century it was possible to make such a device, then it shouldn’t be difficult to make a lava lamp with your own hands at home these days?
Temporary Lava Lamp
So, for production we will need some ingredients:
- olive or sunflower oil;
- any coloring, preferably food coloring, but even regular juice will do;
- jar;
- effervescent tablet (any).
How to make a lava lamp at home is a question with a simple answer. You just need to fill the container with juice or dye by two thirds, the remaining part is filled with sunflower or olive oil. After some time, you can see a clear boundary between the liquids. All that remains is to throw a tablet of effervescence into the jar and watch what is happening, enjoying the incredible effect in the resulting device.
This method is completely safe, and therefore it can be used in educational games with children, while explaining the laws of physics. By the way, if there are no effervescent tablets, ordinary table salt will play their role perfectly, although the reaction will be somewhat slower, but still quite sufficient.
For a stronger effect, it is possible to use a lamp directed at the lamp. Then the fancy bubbles that arise will sparkle in the rays of light, which will add even more beauty.
Temporary Lava Lamp
Permanent lava lamp
Of course, a temporary lava lamp is completely safe, but you always want something more. In this case, you can make such a device yourself on an ongoing basis. But you should always remember about safety precautions when using it; such a lamp must be kept out of the reach of small children, since during operation it gets very hot.
So, to make a lamp with your own hands, you will need a mixture of distilled water and glycerin at the rate of 1/1, a paraffin candle, some beads and a glass container.
The jar needs to be filled 2/3 full with water and glycerin, stir a spoonful of table salt in it and add some beads. After this, the candle is melted in a water bath and paraffin is poured into the jar. The lava lamp is almost ready, all that remains is to build a heater for it.
Any one can serve as such metal structure with a 25 watt light inside that can serve as a can burner. Well, then you can turn it on and enjoy. A do-it-yourself lava lamp is ready, but there are some nuances to such a device.
Firstly, the lamp needs some time for the expected reaction to appear, since the paraffin must melt in the glycerin.
Secondly, under no circumstances should such a situation be left homemade device unattended, as well as keeping it turned on for more than eight hours.
DIY permanent lava lamp Making a lava lamp is quite easy and a lot of fun, so it's worth a try. The main thing is not to forget about safety precautions so that joy does not one day turn into trouble. Well, in general, it doesn’t matter whether you bought a lava lamp in a store or made it at home. The priority is peace and relaxation from a busy day.
People who play Minecraft a lot sooner or later think about how easier it is to get this or that resource. Such questions arise especially when you get tired of researching the world. Lava is a versatile material that can be used to create many items. It is also an excellent fuel for the furnace, so the question of how to make an endless source of lava will always be relevant and interesting to players.
Bucket
This is the first item you will need before making an endless lava source. In Minecraft, liquids can only be transported in a container, which is a bucket.
To make it, you will need the following:
- Assemble a furnace for firing materials.
- Dig up iron ore. To do this you will need at least a stone pickaxe.
- Burn the ore in a furnace - this is how you get it. You can also get the ingot from golems and zombies. Or disassemble the iron block.
- Now open the crafting panel.
- Place three bars in the middle cell of the bottom line and in the outer slots of the middle line. The bucket is ready.
In total you will need four containers. Now let's look at what else is required of you before making an endless source of lava.
Liquid
Before starting construction, go to the dungeon. Your task is to find lava. You can meet it at almost any level and even on the surface. If you have a portal to the nether world, then go there. There you can find it without problems.
Scoop four buckets from the lava lake. main feature this process is that even if you pour lava into a bucket from a "river" and then place it on the surface, you will get a "source".
Cobblestone
The last thing you need before making an infinite lava source is a certain number of blocks that won't be able to burn. Cobblestones are ideal for this. There is a lot of it on the surface, so there will be no problems with production. In total, the structure will require 93 blocks. As a last resort, you can find a cobblestone in the Nether when you go down for lava.
Construction
Finally, you can proceed to the main stage. So how do you make an endless source of lava? Our building will occupy a site measuring five by five blocks and six blocks in height. In addition, you will need some kind of ladder or stand. Or “creativity” mode and flight.
- Dig a hole in the ground that is 5x5 and two blocks deep.
- Lay out the bottommost layer with cobblestones (25 pieces).
- Now we need to shape the “pool”. Strengthen its walls along the edges with cobblestones (2nd layer). This will take another 16 blocks.
- Now we need to build the columns. They are not required, but it will make it easier to navigate. Create pillars on the cornerstones that are two blocks high. In total you will spend 8 cobblestones.
- It was the turn of the upper platform. Make it the same as the bottom of the “pool”, but with one exception. There should be a hole in the very center. You will spend another 24 cobblestones on this.
- Finishing touch. Make another “pool” above the upper platform by creating walls. In addition, place another stone at the edges of the pool. This will take the last 16 blocks. Now upper layer should be a platform with an empty cross in the middle.
- Pour a bucket of lava into each beam of the cross.
That's all - in front of you is a real fiery endless source of lava? Very simple. Due to the four sources, you will have an inexhaustible waterfall, which, flowing through the central hole, will fill the pool. If you don't drain the springs, the flow will never stop, and you will be able to constantly scoop lava from the pool or turn it into obsidian by simply pouring a bucket of water on it.
In this project I will show you how to make a lava lamp with your own hands from a wine bottle.
Step 1: Materials
- Plywood 2.5 * 20 * 30 cm. All wooden elements will be cut from this piece of plywood. When making calculations, keep in mind that the parameters of your wood will differ from mine.
- Nails and nail gun. You can use any method of fastening the pieces, but be prepared to work with boards that are slightly misaligned. I originally used wood glue, but found that it was not strong enough to seal such gaps.
- 75 watt soft light bulb
- Lamp socket with a diameter of no more than 10 cm
- Scotch
- Two-core wire (you will have to cut it)
- Regular 750ml wine bottle
- bottle cap
- Something to caulk the gaps - I found a few places in the lava lamp where light was coming through - you will need to caulk a couple of gaps.
- Baby\mineral oil
- 70% isopropyl alcohol
- Antifreeze
- Oil art paints or pastels
- Food coloring (optional)
- Spray paint (optional)
- Furniture finishing varnish (optional)
Step 2: Create the Plate for the Lamp Base
It is important to remember that although the project is creating a base in the shape of a truncated pyramid, you can create a base of any shape. The main thing is that the lamp socket fits inside, and the bottle can stand on top. The base, which I made at home, requires the ability to work with wood.
Start by cutting out a 15cm square base. Then cut the wire that will carry the electricity. Separate the wires and secure them firmly in the socket. Since we're working with a light bulb, we don't need to know which wire is connected to which terminal. If necessary, additionally insulate the wires with electrical tape.
Step 3: Creating the Sides of the Base
Creating the sides of the base is the most difficult part of the project. The attached pictures show the number of cuts that make it possible to make the base in the form of a truncated pyramid. Below I will describe each cut, but the pictures will be more clear. You will need both a regular saw and a miter saw.
Using a saw, cut the wood at a 15-degree angle on both sides of the board. Make two cuts in the part of the wood that will be connected to the base.
Using corner circular saw, set the bevel angle to 33 degrees and the bevel angle to 15 degrees. Make appropriate cuts.
Make 4 equal sides (they should be about 18 cm at the base and about 11 cm at the top) that will be connected to the 15 cm bottom. In one of the sides you need to make a hole for the wire.
Step 4: Create a Wine Bottle Pedestal
This part of the post is a square with sides approximately 10 cm long and an angle of 15 degrees. Cut a hole using the appropriate drill bit and create a recess to hold the base of the bottle.
Step 5: Assembly
Connect the four trapezoidal pieces together. I used wood glue for this and then secured everything with nails. Adjust the base with the cartridge to the size of our truncated pyramid. Make sure the wire is not pinched between wooden joints. I pre-drilled holes in the square base and threaded the screws through them. This way, if necessary, I can unscrew the bottom and replace the light bulb.
Lastly, glue top part(the one that will hold the bottle).
Step 6: Chemicals
To truly create good lamp with lava, you need to understand how it works. The "lava" in the lamp is usually oil, and the clear liquid is usually an alcohol solution. These two substances do not mix. The magic begins when the light bulb begins to heat the oil. Since oil and alcohol have very similar densities, the heat from the light bulb is enough to create a difference in which substance is denser. When the oil becomes less dense than the alcohol, it rises to the top, then cools, becomes denser, and sinks to the bottom.
The precision with which you create the mixture is very important. Many hours were spent trying to find the correct ratios of various chemical substances, including antifreeze, turpentine, vegetable oil, baby oil, isopropyl alcohol, water, paint, pastels and food coloring, and I still haven't found perfect solution. However, I have created several work lamps, so I will try to summarize some of the most effective mixtures that I have created.
The procedure is standard: mix all oils and oil paints together, mix all aqueous and water-soluble liquids separately. Adding chemicals in the wrong order or too quickly can lead to "fogginess" and other undesirable effects.
Measure:
- 15 ml antifreeze
- 830 ml 70% isopropyl alcohol
- 20 ml soy wax
- 30 ml baby\mineral oil
- Mix soy wax and oil. Add if desired oil paint. This mixture will be called "lava".
- Place the lava (along with its container) in a pot of boiling water. Stir continuously until you get a smooth liquid. Carefully remove the lava from the pan and let cool.
- In another container, mix antifreeze and alcohol.
- Pour the alcohol mixture into wine bottle. It is very important to do this before you pour the wax mixture into it - if the wax is poured first, it will cover the sides of the bottle and the lamp will not create the correct effect.
- Pour the lava into the wine bottle as slowly as you can. This will reduce the "hazy" effect.
- Insert the cork into the bottle and place the bottle on the base of the lamp. Allow the liquid to become ready for about an hour.
If the liquid in the lamp becomes "foggy", place the lamp on a heat source until the liquid returns to normal. Then put the bottle in the refrigerator for a couple of hours and return it to the heat source.
