Thundercharge Dynamo
-Added in version 1.2.0
A block that absorbs lightning energy to produce energy. When struck by lightning, it becomes
charged. The more lightning strikes it absorbs, the higher its charge increases.
When a charged dynamo has a block under it capable of accepting energy, it transmit energy to it.
It can also provide energy to cables from other mods or through conductive blocks (like copper blocks, gold blocks or chains) (conductive blocks are removed since version 1.7.0).
Since version 1.7.0: energy produced by the dynamo can be transmitted using copper cables.

Copper cables
-Added in version 1.7.0
Cables allow the thundercharge dynamo to charge multiple energy accepting blocks.
Be careful, when cables transmit energy they become hot and cause burning damage to entities that touch them.
Note: Copper cables do not work like other mods cables, they don't store energy nor interact with other mods cables. They only receive energy from the dynamo and can only send to other blocks. If you have other mods that adds energy sources and cables is suggested you use that instead.
