Redstone Engine Feed The Beast Wiki
The Redstone Engine is the most basic and cheapest type of BuildCraft engine. To run, all that Redstone Engines require is a direct Redstone signal ( from levers), but they also provide the least amount of power (1MJ/s or /t), they cannot connect to Kinesis Pipes, but as of a recent BuildCraft update they can be daisy chained with other Redstone Engine.
