Blutricity

Redpower Machine predominantly operate on the Blutricity system. These can be measured in 'amps'.

Blutricity Generation

It has only two blocks that produce power. These are Solar Panel (RedPower) and a Thermopile.

Usage

All blulectric components conduct blutricity, so wires only serve the purpose of transmitting it over long(ish) distances.

It should be noted that blue alloy wires reduce any power traveling through it by 0.01 volts per wire. Currently, the amount of blutricity machines require is low compared to the amount of power they can hold internally. Two solar panels may take a minute to fill a battery box, but they would be able to maintain a system of a dozen sorters without difficulty.

An example of rule #1

In most blulectric machines there are two bars;

Internal Storage

This is represented by a battery icon. This is an indicator of the internal storage of that machine. The internal storage bar must be above the red level before it will power the machine.

Power Consumption.

This is represented by a lightning bolt icon. This indicates the power consumption of the machine. A full bar will mean the machine operates fastest, an empty bar means it doesn't do anything.
