Power Generation General Information

Scientists working in The End have discovered an interesting property of ender pearls. When a pearl is thrown in some controlled manner the mystic properties that occur on arrival can be harnessed and converted to RF. If done at exactly the right moment this can produce a lot of power. A pearl thrown this way is called an 'Endergenic Pearl'.

In addition it appears that pearls 'remember' that they have been captured this way. If a pearl is captured and then thrown again as soon as possible its internal power capacity increases which can give big benefits for producing RF from this. However, this means that the pearl has to be fired again as soon as possible, as trying to restrain a pearl from firing is very costly on energy.

Note that even in optimal conditions it is possible that pearls are lost. So a way has to be found to ensure that the system stays operational at all times.
