    @KeX0609 I build a piston powered annular wing plane with your piston rotator.

    @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 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 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

    Works good. Try to build a plane with it.
