104+ Large Turbine behavior was changed slightly in 7.3.0. Prior to this version, if a Large Turbine's Dynamo Hatch filled with
105+ EU, the Turbine would stop consuming fuel and spin down. As of 7.3.0, Large Turbines ignore the contents of their Dynamo

107+ does result in the excess outputs being voided, it means the Turbines retain their full speed and output.

107111* EU/t Output = [ Turbine base EU/t] x [ 2 ^ Rotor Holder Tier - minimum tier] x [ Turbine Power Mutiplier] x [ Current RPM / Max RPM] ^2
