+# Power from lava in geothermial generators
+
+## Production 
+
+1 Geothermal Generator produces 20EU/t with lava and consumes 1 bucket of lava in 50s at max capacity. 32 Generators produce 640EU/t and 64 produce 1280EU/t.
+
+## Cost
+
+1 Geothermal Generator needs:
+- 10 refined iron
+- 6 tin
+- 4 glass
+- 2 redstone
+- 1/2 copper
+- 1 rubber
+
+32 need:
+- 5 stacks of iron (320)
+- 3 stacks of tin (192)
+- 2 stacks of glass (128)
+- 1 stack of redstone (64)
+- 18 copper -> 36x cable
+- 36 rubber -> 36x cable
+
+64 need:
+- 10 stacks of iron (640)
+- 6 stacks of tin (384)
+- 4 stacks of glass (256)
+- 2 stacks of redstone (128)
+- 33 copper -> 66x cable
+- 66 rubber -> 66x cable

+# Lava centrifuging to Copper and Tin
+
+## Production
+
+One centrifuge converts 16 Lava buckets to 4 Copper Ingots, 2 Tin Ingots, 1 Electrum Ingot and 2 tiny piles of Tungsten in 500 seconds, using 5EU/t.
