Screw Drivers - 5 speed gear box build and demo. Screw Drivers out now on steam store.steampow... * I forgot the turbos update. With top tier Electric and petrol engines it is considered to be 7 speed.
My most mechanically interesting gearbox was using 3 triple shifters, with each shifter having an option to connect an increasing ratio, a decreasing ratio, and a straight transfer. Was kinda crazy how quick it changed gears tho hehehe
This was really cool! Found this while trying to see what a planet gear does, but as this video shows, it's just another gear shifter. I will definitely be trying this! You are very underrated. :)
The planetary gear can be a reducer or to increase rotation, In robotics they are used to reduce rotation speed. By using more revolutions on the drive (stepper) motor the resulting arm movement is more accurate and stronger at the same time in a very small space. They are also crazy strong as there are more gear teeth making contact at the same time. :) Look up ring gears for similar function. "Adam Savage Vault door" is an excellent video to watch.
lol much cleaner than the one I built, but you’ve got more parts unlocked than I do. Definitely going to copy some of your solutions here, particularly the 2-1-1 gear set up. I was trying to figure out how to line things up for multiple speeds, and I was missing that. Basically ended up using 2 separate transmissions, one with a 2:2 and a 3:1 and the other on a separate shaft using 2:90° gear and 90°:2. (90° is basically a 1.5 gear) I’m not sure how the game chooses which gear set to access, I think it goes 1.5:2-2:2-2:1.5-3:1 meaning the gears aren’t actually sequential but flops back and forth between gear shifters. Weird setup, but it works. Getting near the same top speed you did but your acceleration is a lot better because you’re using better engines than I have access to currently.
My 4 speed was twice that size. Very Cool Design having the input and output on the shifter parts with the long axle to the side/top. WHERES THE TURBOS?
The planetary has a diameter of 3 on two lengths and a diameter of 1 (even though it doesn't look it) on 1 length, though since you're using it as a reducer you would need 3 full lengths outside of the engine for it to work.
On the build above I forgot the electric capacitors and the turbos for the gas engines. The seven "SPEED'S" are due to the drop off of rpm. Electric rpm drops drops before the gas engine. This Creates 2 extra steps. 5 speed gear box + hybrid engine set up.
This is MUCH more compact than my design, I have direct drive from my engine going through a 6 speed and I don’t spin in first really but I did incorporate 4wd, the game tells me my top speed is over 600kph however my laptop isn’t powerful enough to run the game past 15-30fps so I haven’t gotten out of 3rd gear 😅
LOL. Update for above I forgot the Turbos and Capacitors. I also stage the engine with medium to small before the gearbox. It will drop marks in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. With a top speed of 240. You can win any race on that build.
Great design, but just a quick tip, make the game a little less loud, i turned it up to hear you better, and then got a massive jumpscare once you where driving :D
Any engine yes. Electric and turbo Gas engine hybrid can also add extra stages as the rpm of each type drops out. Behaves like 2 extra gears. Remember don't gear too high. Below 240 is best for racing.
@@nyscersul42 I refuse to watch adds and I don't have the money nor will I give youtube my money to pay so that youtube wont give me adds. I'm on ssi and I am barly able to afford the roof over my head. At least they can live comfortably.
