ooooh i like what you did there with the wipers, not a bad idea of how to clear the engine much more effeciently if your after power! (i was after a mass of "steam" flying everywhere that just about keeps turning!
glad you liked it and decided to have a fiddle, was pretty suprised to see my engine appear red on the front page and think... isnt that my engine? lol!
very neat this, only complaint is i wish it was a bit faster and more clear which side was which, wasted my first shot firing in the wrong direction lol!
Beautifully drawn and obviously a lot of effort gone into it. 9/10 from me. its pretty much all good except that walking mechanism, its a bit slow and it wobbles far too much, it looks like a member of the institute of silly walks at the moment!
work a bit more on the walking mech and i think your onto a winner
Higher lifting legs and better countering to the wobbles!
Beautiful little engine and love the character of it and how fast it goes. i'll have to bare in mind how put power to the crank not the piston, i could probably improve my engine models this way (powering the piston gets a bit messy i find)
little bit of suspension work needed maybe but otherwise great!
Really neat, I'd seen a lot of these before but some new ones in there - also nice to see them with tracers and set up in a way you can see what they really do.
This will actually be a great help... not just with phun but im studying mechanical engineering and its nice to see some mechanisms!
one way to combat the stretchy hinges problem is increasing the density of your components, i found. I think some people use springs like in the soft wheels, but i can imagine that being a hassle making drive belts.
I have no idea how your mechanics in the middle are working but this is just AWESOME. I love it, i've been thinking myself how to make a cvt drive and you've acheived it.
been looking at this for a while and i still dont get how the gears in it work
Really cool, love the effort put in on the scenery.
only complaint is now and then the forks might break, which can be annoying. but i made sure i paused now and then after the first time just incase lol
oddly at other times, the forks seem very tough. lol
I have no idea how a threshing machine works, but i think I could throw together a wood saw of some kind. be cool to try and make a sawable log, too.
I was thinking belt power too, might be an idea to add a take off wheel for that. I'll see what i can come up with!
Tbh hes not the only one who went to the extreme at testing, to make sure the governor was tough enough i just left it running and did other things, just checking on it every now and again lol. wanted to be sure it wasn't going to embarrass me by being rubbish at its special feature
Thanks, i was hoping for that effect! Its just a shame there isn't a way to get the sound of one of these engines in phun really, love the quiet churning with an occasional puff from it. as they say.. quite musical engines!
Check out my other one if you haven't already, got quite a bit more grunt to it.
Its pretty much impossible endre, all down to probabilities. So you could i guess... if you run it millions of times. Heres a description of what this is representing
Haha, i really like the detail on it. its a shame no ones made a way to get sound into phun yet, i'd love if it made a noise when you drag the plectrum over it.
