Electric Power Flow Modeling in Minecraft
Electric Power Flow Modeling in Minecraft
Our project enables electrical and power engineers to build and model power grids in the game Minecraft. Traditional tools used to design and simulate power flow require a strong technical background and are not readily accessible to novices. Electric Blocks solves this problem by merging validated open source power systems analysis tools with the intuitive interface of Minecraft. This makes Electric Blocks a great educational tool and platform for rapid prototyping and real-time collaboration.
