@Malsf: All good, and this question IS a bit strange lol.

@Agustin: I still don't get why you're trying to power a combustion engine with a solar. If you're just going to use it to transfer power, why not use conductive pipes?

Nevertheless, the correct configuration for sending power through the combustion engine is:

HV Solar > MFSU > Energy Link > Wood > Gold > Teleport

Teleport > Gold > Engine Generator (MV) > Energy Link > Combustion Engine (with redstone torch beside it) > (more combustion engines with rs torches, or a wood conductive pipe)

On the first part, the wood conductive pipe can be linked directly to the energy link and it'll extract. On the second part, you need to convert MJ to EU, then right back to MJ because combustion engines can't daisy chain off conductive pipes. So that more or less is actually "storing" the "liquid energy" into the energy link, where it can be transferred through (not used by!) the activated combustion engine in front of it.

You'll need at least one combustion engine or wood c pipe connected to the first one, or the first one won't have any destination to send the power to, and thus won't run.

And from here, you can just stack the combustion engines to daisy chain them. Keep in mind though, if you're going to be filling them with fuel as well to make a sort of generator-pipe, they aren't going to accumulate more than around 45 MJ/t at the end, since that's the limit of each engine, unless they warm up (red color gives around 80ish MJ/t), which is equivalent to about 4.5 combustion engines running on fuel.

No point in your setup though. You're already sending 512 eut into the energy link, where the wood pipe picks up 72 mjt of that power, and then eventually sends it into the engine generator, back into the 2nd energy link. The combustion engines would actually decrease the power, since they carry less maximum power on average (45-80ish) than wood conductive pipes (72)
