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
106+
and Output Hatches, and continue running at full speed, even if the produced EU or Fluids have nowhere to go. While this
107+
does result in the excess outputs being voided, it means the Turbines retain their full speed and output.

The total EU/t output and fuel consumption of a Large Turbine is determined by:

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

* Fuel Consumption = [EU/t output] / [Fuel base generation rate] (rounded up)

* Fuel Duration = [1 + 0.1 x [Rotor Holder Tier - minimum tier]] x [Rotor Efficiency Multiplier]
