@Multidimensional it's still slow
Best piston Engine I have ever seen!
@KeX0609 I build a piston powered annular wing plane with your piston rotator.
Cool
@KeX0609 good to know, thanks.
@TakicraftCorporation its pretty simple tbh. I kind of made it overcomplicated. All you need is 2 pistons that are not on complete opposite sides so the start isn't jumpy.
@TakicraftCorporation okie
@Spikerya woah, i not so good with mechanical things but i'll give a try
@TakicraftCorporation could you make this smaller? Or make a version that is?
I can't believe i got so much support on this. I actually felt bad after posting this because i found it unusable because of the gyroscopic forces this creates. I'm glad you all like it even if i don't that much :)
True, but it is so smooth! @KeX0609
@TTHHSSSS that was the main idea but it has a few downsides... like strong gyroscopic forces and not being able to change the direction of it spinning. But anyways thanks :)
Wow! This is amazing! It can work at an incredible large range of speed.. it's also super precise!
@FlyingThings i see what u did there.. but this design by being "reliable" also means it will spin to the same direction no matter how and where you place it
@KeX0609 take a look a my designs to see what i did there.
@KeX0609 you could do it like me by using two contra rotating engines.
@FlyingThings oh god I've noticed a huge mistake... i didn't really see the gyroscopic forces until I've tried using it on a plane.... I'll have to make it weightless or just lighter and while I'm at it I'll just build a more compact version for planes... this is a difficult challenge :D i love it
I turned it into a minigun
@KeX0609 good job i cab use it for my car projet
@KeX0609 i will wait for it to be uploaded. ; )
@FlyingThings challenge accepted ;)
Works good. Try to build a plane with it.
