You put in cold gas in one end and hot gas in the other and you get power depending on the difference in temperature and if the pressure difference isn't awful
Tesla Coils

A thing gets shocked by the tesla and it outputs power depending on how many miniballs the tesla has before arcing to another machine at half the power
Solar Panels

You connect the solars to a solar tracker and it tries to track the sun and generates power based on how many solars can see the sun
PACMAN
Secure over a wire knot, give fuel, set target power, turn on. What fuel it takes and how high it can go depends on the subtype
Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator
thing with infinite fuel that can power up to 1 kilowatt. that's it.
Unimplemented
Radiation Collector Arrays
Radiation collector, they haven't been used since the Singulo engine and probably can't be ordered. RCAs don't actually collect radiation; they have existed before radiation was even meaningfully implemented - they only generated power in the presence of a singularity and (though commented out) the supermatter
Gas Turbine
See also: Guide to Atmospherics
A machine that takes superheated gas and shoves it through a turbine to generate power. A pipe-related version exists as well.
Power Storage

Big battery fella. The amount of power it can store and the amount of power it can input and output per tick depends on the type and amount of coils installed. Receives power through a terminal, outputs power into a wire beneath itself
SMES Coils
Power Cell Rack PSU
An alternative to the SMES. I/O is probably locked but the amount of power you can store depends on how many power cells you shoved inside it
Power Cells
Power Distribution
If you wanna use power you gotta talk about how it's sent around
Wires
Things you throw down to carry power from one place to the next. Distance doesn't matter, a cable close to a SMES and a cable really far on the same network will have the same charge
APC
Stores power but not much, it supplies power to all machines in the same area as the APC. If it's not in the same area, it's not under that APC's control
Power Priority
Pretty sure all APCs get equal priority, but maybe not SMES. Whatever's using the highest amount of power gets cut first
RCON
Dumb
Breaker Boxes
Thing that spawns wires under itself to connect to adjacent wires. In a substation's case this will connect a wire beneath the SMES to a wire leading to the rest of the grid, effectively connecting the department that SMES is supposed to be in charge of to the rest of the grid
Pros and Cons
Effective battery storage but can depower whole departments if your settings suck, or if someone decides to charge some batteries
