=== Rotors ===
Rotors work more intuitively with these than with steam turbines- they simply say how much EU they'll produce per tick. Multiply the EU/t stated on the rotor with the Efficiency stated on the rotor to find the maximum output possible with this rotor. Ensure that the turbine's dynamo hatch is good enough to accept that much output, or '''the turbine will explode'''. Note that this is only the ''maximum'' output; the ''actual'' output is computed from the optimal flow value. Installing a rotor with a greater EU/t rating will not necessarily increase the turbine's output; for increased output, the new rotor must
The Fluid Regulator on the fuel hatch must be set to a specific optimal value given by the rotor installed and the fuel used by the turbine. To find the optimal value, simply run the turbine for a short while and then use your Scanner on it to find the ''Optimal Flow'' value, and use that to set the regulator. Alternately, you can compute the optimal value ahead of time by finding the burn value of the fuel in EU/L, dividing it into the EU/t stated on the rotor, and rounding down. (To find the EU/L burn value of a fuel, look up the fuel cell in NEI and right-click on it, then look for the ''Gas Turbine Fuels'' page to see the burn value in EU/cell, and then divide that by 1,000.).
