 research.VISBATTERY.stage.1=Natural vis crystals have an interesting ability to act as vis 'batteries'. They absorb vis when the aura is high and discharge it when it is low, but this process is quite slow and unreliable.<BR>By using what I have learned about growing vis crystals I should be able to create a vis battery of my own that is a lot more reliable.
 research.VISBATTERY.stage.2=I have succeeded in creating a vis battery.<BR>If the local aura is above 95% of its normal capacity the battery will absorb vis and if the aura drops below 75% it will discharge.<BR>There are a few drawbacks however. While it is quicker and a lot more reliable than natural vis crystals, the battery still takes some time to react to changes in the local aura. The second drawback is it's capacity. It can only store 10 points of vis. My attemps to increase this has proven disasterous. I guess this just means that I will need to use them in larger numbers.<BR>Applying a redstone signal to the battery will not only prevent it from functioning, but it will rapidly discharge any vis it is holding back into the aura.

+research.FLUXCLEANUP.title=Flux Cleanup
+research.FLUXCLEANUP.stage.1=I may have made a mess of things. I have allowed flux to build up in the aura and now I need to get rid of it - fast.<BR>Fortunately the answer might be found in one of the unique properties of flux. Technically flux is just 'dirty' vis, but what sets it apart is the fact that it can easily transform from a form of energy into physical matter. This makes it dangerous as it can spawn Taint and other forms of nastiness, but maybe it can also be coaxed into safer forms.
+research.FLUXCLEANUP.stage.2=I have managed to find a way of turn pure Flux in the aura into flux essentia. Flux essentia is hardly benign, but it is much easier to handle than raw Flux. Unfortunately the process is not simple, cheap, or fast.<BR>I have drawn up plans for a Flux Condenser. When supplied with lots of essentia it can draw flux from the aura and force it to become essentia itself. Every point of flux drawn from the aura will require 10 or more essentia and some time. The type of essentia does not matter as long as I do not use Flux essentia. That would be bad.<BR>Essentia can be piped into the sides of the Condenser and the resulting flux essentia can be drained from the bottom.<LINE>The Condenser is not all that is needed. I also need a special lattice that will actually draw the flux from the aura. The lattice pieces can be connected to the top of the Condenser and each other to form a multiblock structure. The more pieces I connect, the quicker the Condenser can draw flux from the aura. It does however increase the essentia cost.<BR>The lattice cannot be attached any old way however:<BR>1) The lattice blocks must be attached to the top of the condenser and all the connected lattice pieces must be above the condenser itself.<BR>2) I can attach many lattice blocks together, but any lattice pieces further than 8 blocks from the condenser will automatically detach.<BR>3) It is theoretically possibly to pack a large amount of lattice pieces into this 8 block range, but the benefit a lattice piece provides is reduced for each other lattice piece it is connected to.<BR>4) It may appear that a single unbroken line of lattices would be the best configuration, but occasionally the filter in a lattice piece becomes clogged and unusable. All lattice pieces after the clogged one will no longer aid the conversion speed, though they will still add to the cost. The filter can be replaced by clicking on the clogged lattice piece with a fresh one.<BR>To determine the cost and conversion rate of the Condenser multiblock I can simply use a Resonator on the Condenser itself.
