So I started a new world and so far I have all the essential Thermal Expansion machines and a redstone energy cell to power them. Powering the cell is three magmatic dynamos. When I turn on the dynamos and fill them all the way up I watch how much RF they make. Now I have only used these once before and my friend helped me set them up because i was new to dynamos. When he set them up they ran at 80 RF/t. Ive never been good with the power part of these mods(though IC2 was easiest for me) and I have never even ran into this situation before and I dont know anymore....... Any suggestions?

What tier of energy cell are you using? Do you have any conduits connecting the dynamos to the cell, or are they connected directly? Where are you getting the number "4 RF/t"? (This would be 80 RF/second, so the coincidence seems interesting)

The dynamos are connected to the redstone energy cell by lead stone conduits. At first the dynamos said they were outputting 80 rf(as I expected) but then the number dropped all the way to 4. With the way they worked at my old base they always said 80. I don't know to be honest... I'm still kinda adjusting to the switch from engines to dynamos and I can't really figure them out for some reason.

(The last one didn't do the quote for some reason so I'm posting this again sorry. Little bit of OCD kicked in and I had to do it.)

Okay hold on I think I know what's happening. Can leadstone conduits not handle more than 4 FT/t? I'm thinking that's what's happening... I was trying to put off redoing all my conduits with redstone ones but I think I'm just gonna have to do it...

Never mind, I checked and two things happened. One, I looked in NEI and when I hovered over the leadstone conduits it said it could do up tp 80 RF/t. And the other thing was I moved my Energetic Infuser to be directly powered by the dynamos insteado of by the cell and the dynamos started doing 50+ RF/t and it kept going up but when the Infuser was full it went back to doing 4 RF/t. At this rate the cell wont be full in years!

Is the energy bar in the dynamos full? Also, look at your energy cell: what is it set to for RF/t input? Does the energy cell look like it's filling properly? It might also help if you post a screenshot of your setup, in case there's anything clearly wrong that you've just missed.
