Piston Engine

37.9k AeroEngineering  7.3 years ago
Auto Credit Based on AeroEngineering's engine thing V1

A prototype engine that works well enough. Not quite the best, but it works. Not sure how to make it work better.

Thanks to @Visify for helping me get this running smoother

This is based if the mechanism that can be found in a sawzall

I wanted to make a car but it is unfortunatly too jerky for me to be comfortable using in a car

If you want to use this in one of your creations, go ahead, just credit

    @ACE1089 I'm not gone, and I still play this game on a regular basis. Now that I'm in college, I just have the kind of free time I used too.

    @TVOPviral I'm still here, I've gotten busy with school. Once summer begins I'll likely be here more often

    @AeroEngineering
    From what I know about all piston engines (obviously including yours) is that the piston will seem to be "too slow" when it extends to the end and when it completely retracts. That is according to some math functions, and your design was just happened to not be solving the problem.
    If I were you, I would try and add a suspension at the head of the piston-you know, to dampen the "slowing down" of the piston at the end and the "push" during the middle of the phase.
    One thing I saw people do was to simply crank up the RPM, but if you crank yours up, it is probably gonna explode if I am right.
