Algodoo

Fastest rocket car? Bah! Look at this!

You can keep yours. I don't feel like coloring mine because it looks kind of odd if you use it in a vehicle. But I like this because it demonstrates how it operates!

Awesome! But I found a way to make it even cooler. Put sim.frequency at 400 and slow down the sim speed, then pull the tail and it'll fail chain-style starting from the end and going through the whole thing. 10/10, great work!

Good job! 1300nm @ 570 rpm, 100 hp and incredible smoothness and lack of vibration Keep in mid that most low-power engines can move heavy things in Algodoo. Did you see Kilinich's competition? That engine only had ~50 hp max but some of those trucks weighed over 6 tons.

It could use a rev limiter though, I'd say 80-90 rad/s is a good point to limit it at. I'll give 9/10. It'd be 10 if engine didn't explode at high speed

@INH - Why would you want a limiter like that? Because if you make a limiter that stops the flywheel from rotating past a certain speed, because the engine is still trying to go at full tilt it's going to cause a lot of load on the piston/connecting rod components which may make cause instability or total engine failure. Whereas if you simply remove the piston's driving force it's going to just cause the engine to coast, then be powered again, then coast, etc w/o putting too much load on the engine.

@The Linkage -











...shut up.

Well, you're pessimistic.

Why not do something worthy with your life?

Nice use of my wheels.

9/10. I'd give 10 if it was faster and the suspension was less messed up

Could I release a tuned version of this? (just because I want to, and need to find something to do today? )

Well, you beat my record for the longest engine!

I think if it were made longer (like the one in the video) the effect would be more noticeable!

What's bad about springs as rods? They have no weight, don't slop around like geom based rods, etc?

Oh my God! The Linkage actually rated a scene!

But really, what?

I think I've seen that bike somewhere...

Damn! I think you win...

LOL mine's too big. It just drives over everything xD

It's an interesting gun, certainly.

Why are all the se guns so ridiculously huge, and yet shoot so pathetically slow? That's why I use attraction, because the gun can be a realistic size and shoot at a realistic speed.

It seems like a lot of people are asking me for power tests these days...

Anyways, 100nm @ 45 rad/s, like 6hp max. If you used guntech and had everything with higher density you'd probably get more torque, like 300 or 400nm.

Well, OK. There's that.

I AM YOUR SAVIOR!

I'd like to see a full-auto version of this. Or a shotgun. Either would be awesome

Maybe you should stick to Pornhub

BTW, the admins have been alerted. they should show up to deliver much pain very soon

It must be your driving then, because I've completed the entire course quite a few times

Maybe give it something to shoot at? I could make a clay pigeon launcher to use with it if you want.

DAYUM!

I've found it even works if you fill the mag all the way up. It'll hold like 5 more shells plus the two that are already there!

I'm getting 90-100% simtime constantly, on a crappy mac?

LOL, couldn't even give 2500nm. It's also close to 1000kg....

Oooooo, yum! can I add an engine?

Someone beat you by 4 cylinders...

But it's longer than my longest one, which was only 12 cylinders

Power? Well... 1600 nm @ 45 rad/s, 95 hp. Strange for 3 tons of engine

Oh well. It does have some pretty impressive properties, like ZERO VIBRATION WHATSOEVER!!
I'm giving it 9/10 just for that...

I've also found, as long as your vibration isn't absolutely ridiculous, if you put it in a vehicle with considerable mass and stretchable engine mounts, the result can actually be pretty damn good! (like this!)

ohh melikes

I'm thinking Steampunk...

Also did you see that bus I uploaded, it's a few scenes back? I guarantee you'll like it...

I did something similar on my rotary truck, but it killed my fps and sim time, so I abandoned that idea
