Algodoo

I have a scene I made a long time ago that never got uploaded of a 64 cylinder inline engine xD

This is awesome!

Amazing as always! I love how you can bump fire it.
Awesome work

Thanks guys

I love seeing stuff like this from newer users. Gives me hope for the future of algodoo. Keep it up man

This type of scene isnt allowed on Algodoo. Xray is probably going to remove this as soon as he notices it.

I like it. Works really well

Oh yeah I guess I forgot about that one. You should build a vehicle with that beast!

And thanks for the favorite by the way!

just make the parts more dense. all your parts are the default 2 kg/m2
Which is a big nono when making engines lol.
you should make each part weight close to what they do in real life. for example select all the pistons and make them about 1-2kg which is 16 kg/m2 in your case
the heavier you make something the more stable it will be, but if you make it TOO heavy it wont be realistic.

You should be able to get twice the power of this engine at 200HZ if you change the weight of the parts.

Changing the weight of your parts makes the BIGGEST difference.
also turning down the friction and restitution (bounciness) helps too.

I uploaded a scene response to show you what I mean.

Awesome! you figured it out

well I mean, technically I did make it harder by adding more weight.

This seems fun. I'm gonna give it a go

Does it have to be a piston engine?

I'm in!

I had a similar idea to this a while back for a real internal combustion engine.

Not bad for your first. keep it up

Doesn't it have to have a manual transmission?

What do you mean? you just click the one you want when you write a comment.

This works great. I love how fast and snappy it is. You can even "bump fire" it

Awesome! this is the kind of stuff I get excited to see on algodoo!

This is extremely awesome! New scenes like this is why I still have hope for algodoo, that algodoo will never die or turn into nothing but marble scenes. I foresee you being a really good and popular algodooer. Keep it up!

Thanks, Xray

Good stuff as usual. I always love your scenes

What do you mean? it is a real engine.

I accidentally put the pistons on the wrong layer

I just updated the scene with the correct layers

pnvv: It was originally going to be a spring engine like the original scene, but I couldnt make it powerful enough and stay stable so I decided to make it a collide engine at the last minute.
I was gonna make it a spawn engine but that would have involved adding cams and such and I didnt want to deal with it haha. the scene already has way to many geoms

You're making a "thing" too?

Yeah it's a crappy engine, I'm not denying it

perpetual motion is possible in algodoo if you turn off air friction. even a normal circle will never stop spinning in algodoo with no air friction.
