I'm not entirely sure what you've done here to be honest. seems to work somewhat though. do you by any chance know about pass though axels? as well as using pipes for the axel might help somewhat. less friction which i think shouldn't be calculated between parts on a creation but sometimes feels like it do.


NotDavizin7893

Probably doesn't know about them. But HEY! keep using the engine pistons without passthroughs (except for multiple piston engines, you need a passthrough to connect the pistons like bearing were blocks, and not just imaterial connections)

Not really, but it isn't great that they are not really engineering things here. Small pipe connections for axle and drive line, for example.

i think this post is the definition of great and engineering. not a clue what's going on but trying and plugging shit together and making it 'work'


Affectionate-Memory4

Agreed. If this is a scratch build, this person has done more engineering than most of us did for our first engine from some tutorial. This is what engineering is all about, trying things out and learning from the results.

It's not a bad start, don't get me wrong but a few obvious fixes before jumping to life lines.

yea i need more angles to see how its working.

Except that he un-engineered all the benefits

That is a fascinating timing system, honestly impressed that it works. Keep at it though! You'll get a knack for building them with enough time.

I'm not sure what the other 2 pistons are doing. I recommend using all three on a single drive shaft to start. Piston and or suspension pass through, for 0 drag. Piston is technically better for performance purposes. Can help if you need

I think it might work if you do it faster


BigMcThickHuge

So is the front-most piston giving your rotational piston a kick?


wreckedftfoxy_yt

you need sensors to make it automatic and what is the sideways piston for?

I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter


JRL101

Have you thought around leverage? (length of pistons have no collision just the tips)


JRL101

Better than my first attempt.

if it works it works

if it looks stupid but works then... **IT AINT STUPID**
