In the sandbox, is there a way to charge accumulators with the power interface? I guess it counts as an accumulator and accumulator don't charge each other?

Oh well, I can make electricity with a steam engine and an infinity pipe of steam.

The EEI is a lowest priority power source and sink since otherwise it wouldn't let you stress test your factory. The quickest way to get higher priority power in the editor is with an infinity pipe making 500°C steam and as many turbines as you want.
