Mod for burning any item to energy

We have mods which add more variety to electricity. They however deal with actual, realistic fuels.
This mod could also have a function which gives more energy the more the item needed manufacturing/rarer and more expensive parts.
Thoughts?

It's easy enough to go over recipes, and apply "energy_required" to items produced.
Balance would be nearly impossible: should we include energy of the precursors? What happens if you have more than one recipe? Efficiency modules would probably throw energy balance out the window, or vice-versa, slamming a machine with enough speed and productivity to thwart the energy/craft.

What if your modded gear must be forged in the stone furnace? If this gear has some buning value, then it goes to the burner slot, but not to the ingredient slot.

Hmm. I'm still confused.
I myself was thinking about a specific machine you put any item in and it turns the item into electricity right away.
Those "any items" wouldn't work like coal or oil or stuff like that - you couldn't put any item in any other device which would normally burn a burnable entity as fuel.
Hope this clarifies stuff.

I don't see the easy way how to do the generator, that allows items as power source.

Can't even imagine how much work it would need. I know nothing about coding.
Just gave an idea I'd love to see and experience/experiment in-game myself ^^

It looks like that it was added in the 0.18.

Does it really allow to do this ?
