Geothermal Generator

The Geothermal Generator Is a slightly advanced variant of the Generator. It can supply IC2 machines with electricity or charge tools and batteries in its UI. Basic Generators make their power by being fed the same types of fuel you would provide a Furnace in vanilla Minecraft. However the geothermal unit requires the addition of Lava, it will take Cans, Cells, Or Buckets. The first two can be used to cache lava and are thus more preferable. The Geothermal Generator outputs 20 EU/mB at 20 EU/t. Note that you can supply Lava to the Geothermal Generator using Buildcraft Waterproof Pipes or Liquiducts. It will also accept lava directly from a Buildcraft Pump if it is placed adjacent.

Usage
To charge a tool such as a Diamond Drill, right-click with no items equipped to open its UI and place the rechargeable item in the upper slot. It can also be upgraded to the Thermal Generator if GregTech is installed.
