COPPER BLOCKS

The copper block is the most raw form of copper after it has been extracted from copper ore. The Copper Block is an aesthetic building block. It is also a compact way of storing Copper Ingots. The third and maybe most important usage is the multiplication of copper with Thaumcraft (like the silver one).

COPPER PIPES

Copper tubing is most often used for heating systems, and as a refrigerant line in HVAC systems. Copper tubing is slowly being replaced by PEX tubing in hot and cold water applications. There are two basic types of copper tubing, soft copper and rigid copper. Copper tubing is joined using flare connection, compression connection, pressed connection, or solder. Copper offers a high level of corrosion resistance but is becoming very costly.

COPPER WIRES

Copper wire is typically defined as consisting of a single conductor for electrical signals, differentiated from a copper cable wherein multiple copper wires are grouped into a common jacket.

The many types of copper wire share a common function — the conduction of electricity with minimal resistance which causes voltage drops and energy dissipation in the form of heat. In fact, copper has been used since the 1820s when the first technology requiring electrical conductivity was developed. No other metal can compete with its conductivity, plus copper wire requires less insulation and can be stretched more effectively than other metals.
