The Alternator is a redstone-signal-emitting block which can be rotated by mechanical power to cycle which side it outputs redstone on.

Usage
The Alternator can be placed in 24 different orientations, on floors, walls, and ceilings.
When placing the block, the flat side will be placed against the face clicked by the player, and the output side will point to the edge of the clicked face nearest to where the player clicked. A transparent preview is rendered to assist with orienting the block; this can be disabled in the Client Config if this is undesired.
The sprint key can be held while placing the block to change the axis of rotation.
When the alternator's center axle is rotated by mechanical power, it will cycle between its four output sides. Redstone power will be emitted on one side at a time.
