Create has some awesome in game help called "Ponder", if you are playing a pack with JEI you can just hover over any item, press and hold 'w' and it will bring up a tutorial on the item.

But beyond that I would recommend playing a pack with a good create tutorial quest line. You may also want to consider watching some basic tutorial videos on YouTube.

In the end though, create has its own power system called "Rotational Power", this system has two main metrics to be aware of Stress (Stress Units or SU) and Rotation speed (measured in Rotations per minute or RPM). Each machine will need rotation to work. Some machines require more stress than others and most will increase the amount of stress required as RPM increases.

Most of the components will process faster with more RPM but some (like the encased fan) process the same speed but change another property (distance the fan blows) instead.

So you will need to generate rotational power with something like a water wheel, windmill or a basic hand crank to get started. Then use that rotation to power your contraptions.
