JEZZ, THAT'S AWESOME ENGINE!!!!1111111111
MAN, YOU'RE A WIZARD, REALLY!!1
CFN I USE IT IN MY CARS? HIGH RESOLUTION OF RPM'S THAT'S EXATLY WHAT I NEED!!!

Wow!!! is easy !!! and awesome can i use the idea to make my own please

and i think this is damn cool i made one like this and i puted it in a 1000 kg van and is go 60 ms/s!!!! u're the master of engines!

X-Zibit: Sure you can use it! That's why it's invented!
Mustang41: Np. Thanks!

Do you mind explaining how this works? I done a quick search and couldn't find much on it? :3 Thanks

wow,this type of engine is very simple and faster than the piston engine 10/10

Ok if i use it i must give credits... right.?

MrGlinzz: On the red box, on the scripts menu, there's an item called materialVelocity, that makes the box sides like a conveyor belt. Then, if the box has friction 0, it won't work, but if it has friction >0, it will move the circle, rotating it. The lasers change the box friction to give it more power, but if the box friction is +inf, and you want more power, you should add more materialVelocity.

faytree: Thanks! It's faster than my Ford F150 engine, that uses this principle, but on the pistons.

Mustang41: It doesn't matter. If you want you can, but don't care.

Thank u u're the best!!!

Hm, so the red box essentially controls the rpm of the circle and the friction controls the power? Thanks, I'll definately be using this

another cool concept but isnt this kind of "cheating"
you could just put negative air friction on the car ?
piston engines are more realistic even if some of
the ways we make them work is a bit crazy

so the higher the friction the more the power right?

nop i tested this engine on a heavy van and it goes fast like hell!

i rated it now is 7 good job is must be 9+!

MrGlinzz: Yes, you're right. It's like a conveyor belt that rotates the circle, and with more friction, more torque. But the materialVelocity can be higher, but it would go at this speed, because the hinges max speed is that.
Now I'm making a VW Passat 2013, and I've noticed that springs are better rotating joints than hinges. You'll see!

Gent: No, it works with a kind of engine. It doesn't create any drag as you can see when the engine is idling, it just makes the circle to rotate.
Piston engines are somewhat weak compared to another types, like rotary collision. Rotary spawn engines (There are a few in Algobox) are stronger than collision pistons, because they don't have any piston rod that gets rid of the energy (damping) and it's spawn type!
And really, we've made strange things with pistons - look at those linkages, just to get 10 Nm more!
Maybe, the ZPEngine cheats a bit. It gives some drag too!

faytree: Right, but if you want more power, you have to make the materialVelocity setting lower (for example, now it is at -50, you have to put it at -60 or less!).

Mustang41: Thanks! I just can't believe that this light scene (30 kB) can be rated 7!

Springs as hinges.... I see where thats going, might have to "borrow" that idea for a plane
