Stress requirement: 2 SU per RPM (as component)
Stress capacity: 16 SU per RPM at 4 RPM (as generator)
Power connection: Shaft, in the back
The Encased Fan is a mechanical component added by Create that functions as a tool for moving entities and items, as a generator, and as an essential component for bulk washing, bulk smelting, and bulk smoking.
Obtaining
Encased Fans can be created through the following methods:

Usage
Pushing and pulling
When connected to rotational force, an Encased Fan creates an air flow in the several blocks in front of it, which will either push or pull entities or items depending on the direction of rotation.
Power generation
When an Encased Fan is placed facedown directly over a heat source (fire, lava, a Blaze Burner, a campfire, or magma) and powered by redstone, it will provide 16 SU per RPM at a speed 4 RPM.
Bulk item processing
When the air flow of an Encased Fan passes through water, fire, lava, a Blaze Burner, or a Campfire, the air flow downstream of the relevant block will apply processing recipes to items that pass through.
- Bulk Washing: an air flow containing water will apply bulk washing recipes, listed in the table below.
- Bulk Smoking: an air flow containing fire, an unheated Blaze Burner, or a Campfire will apply any recipe that can be applied in a Smoker.
- Bulk Blasting: an air flow containing lava or a heated Blaze Burner will apply any smelting recipe that can be applied in a furnace but not a smoker.
These recipes can be applied to items in the world, items on a Mechanical Belt, and items on a Depot.
Warning: passing incompatible items through bulk blasting, such as your tools or smoking recipes, will incinerate them. This can be disastrous if you're not careful, or useful for quick item disposal. Filters can help control which items get extracted to be bulk blasted.
