I made this little setup cause my forestry machines didnt need 40mj/t but had to be constantly powered. that said , feel free to use this if u ever run into a similar problem.
so how this works is the front buffer can accept and output all your power , then the back buffer can take all of it , but outputs something like 5 or 10
so when front buffer is full and back is empty, it opens the front buffer so that when the back is full it shuts down the front effectively keeping everything powered enough to run but not cause over heating or waste of my magmatic engines.
the build ( note , the hidden block is another of whats under the front redstone energy cell )
and the script ( pastebin: pfp4a5Wr )
