Electric Compressor

The Electric Compressor/$ can generate compressed air from IndustrialCraft 2's EU/$. By default it has an efficiency of 40%, but this can be changed in the config/$. It behaves like a IC2 tier 1 machine, so it will explode if it receives >32 EU/t. However, you can add IC2 Transformer Upgrades/$ to allow higher voltages, as in normal IC2 machines. The energy output in mL/tick is: input rate / E * 400/$ where E/$ is the efficiency. For instance, with the default efficiency of 40% and an input of 32EU/tick, the compressed air production equals 32 / 40 * 400 = 320mL/tick./$ Another factor that influences the efficiency is the machine's heat/$. The machine needs to be cooled, as the efficiency will drop as the temperature rises, up to the point where no air is generated at all.
