Piston Powered Car

35.2k IzzyIA  6.8 years ago

Faster than any non modded fuel-less engine I have made, with a top speed of about 37 mph, I present the Piston Car. This was a pretty long project, but it is finally developed enough to post the first version. The gyroscopes aren’t meant for stability or anything like that, just to help the engine in turning.It is really simple to drive, just make sure you are in high physics mode and just put throttle to 100%. Then you just use roll to turn.

P.S. Thanks to @sexylips35 for the idea.

P.P.S. I wouldn’t recommend this to any weak devices, runs slowly on my iPad Pro.

P.P.P.S. Yes, I know the car shape looks really dumb haha

    And I'm going to put an airplane engine and wings on the piston-powered car because I'm an idiot who makes all kinds of cars fly :)

    @THEPotatoguy007 Thanks! And what's cool is if you reverse the direction of the gyro while an engine is running you can easily switch it's direction while its running. That feature isn't on this car though

    Nice piston car. Like you said about the gyroscope, making the engine turn in the right direction it really works!

    Thanks! And yes, the gyros are for starting the engine to make sure they go in the right direction @CDRxavier

    @IzzyIA
    These gears are solid! Absolutely the best ones I have seen in the game.
    I guess the gyros are for starting the engine...seems like they are not doing anything.
    Oh, my 6 year old DELL XPS runs it perfectly fine. (haven't checked the physics, but the desktop have a much higher base quality)
    Cool stuff. (I guess make a two-cylinder engine with the same amount of pistons will maybe result better. IDK just guessing)
    Good luck with that!
