Mechanical Power (Better With Mods)

Mechanical Power is a form of energy added by Better With Mods. It has no magnitude or direction, it is simply on or off.

Mechanical Power can be generated by Windmills, Water Wheels, or Creative Mechanical Generators. However, the Hand Crank can also provide it in a non-transferrable form. Mechanical Power is transferred only through Gearboxes and Axles. Mechanical Power is necessary for the function of a variety of blocks and machines listed below.

Mechanical Power can also be tweaked by other mods. An example would be Better With Engineering that provides compatibility between Mechanical Power and other mods.
