Goal here - build an engine which has the best power-to-weight ratio.
Rules -
-Must be spawn, any configuration allowed
-Max Hz 140 (That's what I use)
-Max size 2x2 m
-No weight limit, but spawned geoms don't count.
-May use laser or collide-based ignition but must only spawn one geom per cycle (basically every piston can only spawn 1 geom per revolution), and that geom must fit in the chamber (However, this does not apply for rotary engines such as wankels, that don't have a fixed "cylinder" size.)
-Engine must give it's output through rotative motion. You can't just build a rocket...
-Has to be reasonably stable, and give full power for at least 15 secs. It can't just explode immediately....
-Max InertiaMultiplier = 2
-Must attach engine to background using hinges or springs, no gluing. Your engine mounts may protrude outside the box if necessary.
Scoring -
Only one category - horsepower per kilogram. The person with the highest power per kilogram wins!
Entries must be submitted by June 5th, and you may have a maximum of three separate entries, but you may modify those engines for more power if you want to as long as you don't just build an entirely new engine.
I will make and update a leaderboard on this thread - the person at the top when the contest ends wins, and the winner gets a nice trophy image to put in your sig!
Base scene. Post entries as a response or in this thread!
An engine I made eons ago that I just tweaked a little to fit this contest. I'm not participating myself, this is just an example of a good entry.
