    Connect wire to battery
    .
    If not enough power, add capacitor
    .
    If explode, profit. But try again after regrow limbs
    .
    Grab living room ceiling fan and glue to mech- mechnsm
    ,
    Turn on and watch as you create a typhoon out of sawdust and moldy bread
    .
    Done.


    If failed and wanted by government delete and create new world, this time in creative mode for safety

    @Dragoranos that's fair, I guess, I guess that'll work for three-shaft ships

    @Monarchii kinda but its pretty convenient and you can compensate for that

    @Monarchii make them wide as possible. If that's not enough, make it longer. But it may not be the shape you want. So you can make a blade in the shape you want. Just make it bigger until it's producing desired amount of thrust. Then rescale them to a smaller, more appropriate size. That way you can replicate propellers on submarines and still produce enough thrust.

    rotator work well only in water.in the air it are the wrost.you need 2 propeller.1reverse another one not reverse,to not make vehicle not tilt left or right.
    here the code
    sum(Throttle * 10)
    set range of motion to 180
    speed is how fast you want propeller is

    @Dragoranos noted, though doesn't adding freespinning rotator make them generate less thrust? I remember a while back it but like, that's 3 years ago I think at this point

    @overlord5453 do you make them bigger sideways or tallways? which ones more preferable?

    @Monarchii You Can Learn And Use It From One Of My Experimental Aircraft, Here Is Also a More Complex Version Of It

    Did some experiments with this some years ago

    First of all, the prop pitch is like a car's gearbox
    Less torque but more speed. In a high prop pitch the plane gets speed fast, but doesnt get to high velocities
    But that of course doesnt matter in SP. The ideal prop pitch is 15°. Four blade props are the best here

    Remove drag from the props or make them very low. Higher RPM doesnt mean higher power cuz the game starts bugging. You have to find the sweet spot. Keep in mind these engines always will generate more power at higher physics settings and slow motion

    The rotator needs to be put at 1000% speed too. One thing I discovered is that if you put a free-spin rotator behind the "powered" one, it removes all torque

    Ill do more tests now

    Make propeller with angled wing Or a wing with control surface to have more control over it. Bigger the wing and faster the rotator, the more thrust you get. You can rescale them if it's getting too big. Remember to remove drag and mass from wings for efficiency. Works best in higher physics setting. You can only increase the speed of rotators to like 8. After that it freaks out. And they produce torque so have two rotators spinning clockwise and counterclockwise, either on the sides or on a common axis (coaxial).
