Zero-Length Spring Engine

Postby daniels220 » Tue Sep 21, 2010 4:11 am

I've always had a fascination with Conundrumer's negative-length spring engine—extremely smooth, no moving parts except the entire engine, high power if you can get over the low torque... So I made one that I think is quite a bit more powerful. The springs have length 0 instead of negative, though this is pretty irrelevant to how the engine functions. The springs are also anchored on the rotor at one end instead of on the small circles at both ends. I think this improves power and stability.

Feel free to use for anything. I'm bad at making most other stuff—for instance, any drivetrain other than glued-circle, and thus any suspension other than hinge-stretch.
