We're back in Trailmakers making a supersonic vehicle that doesn't move. Can I engineer a supersonic catapult capable of flinging loads at over 750mph??

I now really want just a conversation between Spiffing Brit and Real Civil Engineer on anything and everything.

@LegallyTrash Год назад

This is currently being developed as a potential method of launching vehicles into space. You should try to make a space launch vehicle in the survival game… since it is the goal of the game after all.

@SilverMKI Год назад

It is also a horrifically flawed method of launching stuff into space unfortunately.

@LegallyTrash Год назад

@@SilverMKI I can see the beauty in the theory, but there’s obviously zero possibility of it being used for any manned missions. As of April, NASA had decided to continue to invest in the concept to see if it could be used to deliver a payload into space more efficiently than rockets alone, but I guess we’ll see if it’s possible for the company to build a vacuum chamber the size of a football field that can accelerate a payload to 5000 mph reliably.

@LegallyTrash Год назад

@RCE you could also try this on KSP; or even better, make a geostationary centrifugal space launch platform for deep space Kerbal missions … assuming it’s possible to get the vehicle to spin about its axis and the kraken doesn’t kill Jedediah first …

@gsquared8730 Год назад

@@LegallyTrash stratzenblitz already did that

@SilverMKI Год назад

@retsaM innavoiG because you are putting significant amounts of energy into something that requires extremely precise timing and rapid movement of launch parts (ie the cover over the vacuum chamber, the release mechanism, etc) to function correctly. Any failure or misalignment means you are throwing the payload through the side walls of your launch chamber or ripping your launch mechanism apart. You're rapidly repressurising the launch chamber which doesn't do hardware or electronics any good. Much better to pick a mountain somewhere and build a maglev launch rail and tunnel up the side of it, since you can use that for much larger payloads as well as crewed modules.

@Mis73rRand0m Год назад

You could have used the logic gate to shut down the "projectile" rockets so they don't add/change momentum after detaching.

@Abion47 Год назад

Yeah but where's the fun in that?

@kunstderfugue Год назад

Or we could make a version that's lawn dart shaped and uses the rockets to increase its range to 11

@joewilson5814 Год назад

Showing he is a real engineer by taking feedback and improving his designs. It took me forever to figure out how to get the logic to work but once I did, was able to stabilize a drone for the career mode which really helped getting the tricky scraps.

@dilly_boigaming9568 Год назад

I believe you can press 'c' to change between the 8 different camera modes Also you can change the speed units in the menu

@Xeridanus Год назад

He has it set to imperial, you can check the speedometer in the UI. But the sensor isn't in imperial, there's a mismatch.

@Nareimooncatt Год назад

@@Xeridanus it looks like a bug on the sensor with how it's labeled, because when he set it to 800 kph, it still released at 800mph.

@mattymerr701 Год назад

@cheeen Год назад

@crayder1100 Год назад

Note, you can break the aerodynamics system with detachable blocks. You just put a single detachable block, connect all your aerodynamic fixing blocks to it, disconnect them after the creation is spawned in. Then all you have is what you want with zero friction.

@michaelcherokee8906 Год назад

Perfectly balanced game, with no exploits.

@shoty_x1693 Год назад

I think stacking the servos does increase the speed but you just forgot to power them

@lucasstiles8012 Год назад

@nyscersul42 Год назад

It needs to be set to free spin

@pandasfressenbambus2940 Год назад

You should've made the detachable "projectile" a plane/glider!

@Josh.Proctor Год назад

I loved the Spiffing Brit reference. In a sense, you're both engineers. One using their knowledge to figure out how to build things, and the other how to break things. Although, now I'm wondering who paid more for their education..... You know what? It doesn't matter now that you're both highly successful RU-vidrs. It's all good.

@konstantinavilov1192 Год назад

The end result is not exactly a catapult: it's more like an assisted launch for a rocket. You see, the "projectile" part still has active rocket engines. It would be more "fair" to detach just a cabin.

Trebuchet

@seventucker3232 Год назад

@@akashics1275 a trebuchet is just a bigger better but slower catapult

@DuckInGameStop Год назад

@lucasstiles8012 Год назад

@saber_guy3116 Год назад

You should play “Airship: Conquer the Skies” It’s a pretty cool game.

@quantum2330 Год назад

I'm 90% sure when they were talking about stacking servos, they were referring to "powered" servos, 1 servo spinning at 10kph + 1 server spinning at 10kph = 20kph etc.

@short0811 Год назад

I have to say thanks to you playing Trailmakers when you had about 40k subs I found my favorite game. I had not touched a sandbox/creative game ever but this game is the best! It's not exactly perfect with its quirky mechanics but it is the perfect mix of Legos and Hotwheels! Thanks a ton!

@Zirnike Год назад

You should use the angle sensor instead of the altitude. The way it's set, if you're headed down from the top when you hit the speed setpoint, it'll detach anyway. The angle sensor would let you be sure you detach at the optimum point. Maybe add just a bit of weight to give you a stabilization fin for the flight? Also, check the cockpit weight. You might be able to balance the load with the engines in the axial direction - engines on one side, cockpit in the other, with just the cockpit and it's streamlining detaching. Use a flat connector to hold it to the side, with the detachable block behind the cockpit attached to it. I'm a mech eng myself.

@cericat Год назад

Potentially too he's going to get better range out of about 35 degrees over 45. But it depends on the physics modelling in Trailmaker taking into account drag properly.

@matthewlewis4981 Год назад

Awesome! Very satisfying to get that successful final launch.

@mkusanagi Год назад

Reminds me of the SpinLaunch rocket that uses centripetal force to fling a payload into space. However in their setup both ends detach so the remaining arms are balanced

@ravenblything6567 Год назад

Cures my extreme spicy sadness

@robdin81 Год назад

We engineers like complex solutions too much and this video perfectly demonstrates that. The first design was okay but it quickly got complex and as a result it took a long time to make it work... it is so recognizable (unfortunately most architects know of this weakness too and they often use it to make fun of engineers 😜)

@AgentWest Год назад

You took a 10-minute topic and stretched it out to over 20! Now THAT is skill! :D On a serious note, servo stacking _is_ a thing in TM, but it only works if you power them. If they are free-spinning it does nothing. Also TM tends to get unhappy if there are large side loads (like a long support pillar) on hinges and such since those are not all that rigid at high loads. You can even see servos sagging when they were stacked to support the catapult at one time. Point is, making this catapult's base into a U shape instead of two separate pillars would have been way more stable. And lastly, why not use angle sensors instead of altitude? Would have been way easier to program the release angle.

@Jacksonhoch1 Год назад

As far as I know, there’s just a spinning joint, which would be a lot more free than a servo

@epopynot Год назад

@tobycuckson9055 Год назад

Btw, if you use detachable blocks to cover all aero surfaces and then detach them then the aerodynamics are miscalculated and you get zero drag. All of the top dragster race vehicles use them
