They do transfer power, and I am currently testing different things about them and sources of generating power. Brooks CAN power a water wheel. However, they must be channeled out first.

I am stealing the key format and using it on the pages I edit. It should be used throughout the wiki and is the most clear representation of a keyboard key that I have seen yet. [[User:Schm0|Schm0]] 10:12, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
