this works, but leaves your engines at 1/3th (2/3rth of the power from a bucket is used to make another bucket of lava) of their full power... you'd need a lot of room and materials to make this method produce a decent amount of energy...

1 bucket in engine = 18.000 MJ

creating 1 bucket from cobb = 24.000 MJ

creating 1 bucket from netherrack = 12.000 MJ
