It's on the workshop: steamcommunity...
Welcome to another episode of Scrap Mechanic! Today I am replicating a machine that was a predecessor to the tank: the Boirault Machine. It was basically one giant terrible tank tread that couldn't even steer. It was quickly given up on over a hundred years ago. But I'm bringing it back to life!

"tank" aka tractor treads actually did exist before this. the first proper tank in 1916 was made utilizing tractor tread designs from the american tractor company Holt

To this day many countries still have two versions of the "bring your own bridge with you" idea... one is the tank/truck looking vehicle that has a bridge that is on top, then deploys when needed, and the other more common version are those trucks that turn into flotation bridge pontoons to cross rivers. Both still in existence.

@undeadsecret 2 года назад

here's a cool idea, taking old concepts like these and improving them, so while this iteration may have had trouble turning, you could make an iteration that has crab legs, lifts the machine and turns it at a certain angle, drop and repeat the process to turn, like a spider, fold back into the body, clearing the tracks for forward motion again.

To be absolutely fair though, Scrapman. The war that this thing was being prototyped for, there was little need for turning. The trenches weren't going to dodge around this thing's path. But that doesn't excuse how pathetic it was. I mean you look at the mobility of the T-28/T-95 Super Heavy Tank with it's quad tracks and compare that to the purpose it was intended for, breaking through the Siegfried Line, and turning becomes an optional feature, not a requirement.

On turning the original Boirault machine: the Wikipedia article says that to turn it they had to stop it, jack it up, rotate it to face the new direction and let it down again. This took a long time and it isn't something you'd want to do on a battlefield.

@RedPandaYosh 2 года назад

Suggested improvement, make the top longer, roughly half the size of the bottom width. Add suspension and another set of wheels to the top. Raise the bottom up 2 blocks from the wheels and add set in the middle. Overall you made a very historically accurate representation in a video game.

@roachman1144 2 года назад

I love how he made it even more historically accurate by doing a ''cut''

@Cosmic_Tortoise 2 года назад

In order to turn, a piston system with an extra wheel or two on each side is needed. When wanting to turn, the wheels lower against the ground first. Then press one wheel(s) side down further than the other to go in the opposite direction, or away from the extra depressed wheel. Ex- To turn left, both external wheels lower, followed by more depression from the right wheel. This will Tilt the tank tread to the left, and over time should turn the Tank left as well. This is assuming Scrap Mechanic Physics are similar enough to real physics. (similar to when leaning on a bicycle or monocycle, you turn slowly in the direction you lean).

"This is so historically accurate," he says, as the intro music to Tasting History with Max Miller starts playing. Also, the bottoming-out issue is incredibly easy to fix. You were already most of the way there with the engines mounted halfway up the triangular frame: all you needed to do was remove the bottom, so there's more clearance for the tracks.

@Zanmiester 2 года назад

I think if you add another top wheel on top of the whole device, make some sort of track sandwiched between the wheels, also angle the bottom plate of the drive vehicle, giving it a better angle for bottom out issues. super cool you made it work!

@EpsilonRosePersonal 2 года назад

Another website said their "turning mechanism" was to have the crew use jacks to lift one side of the vehicle and rotate it. So, if you put it on a lift, you'll have a perfectly accurate turning mechanism! I do wonder if it would have run better with bigger wheels, that way you'd have less of an issue with the gaps and a bit more surface area moving the tracks around.

@captain_loeffel 2 года назад

@ScrapMan They say how they turn that vehicle. At 3:43 you just need to read the text after the "better" model was described. There is this little part, "A second test on 13 November showed however that it was still extremely difficult to change direction. The whole assembly had to be lifted by a main jack, after which it could be turned for a maximum of 45° by hand from the outside or by a system of smaller jacks from the inside of the machine." So they explain it although I would call that a scrappy turning mechanism, if we are allowed to call that a mechanism at all.

When was the Walking Dragline invented? I've always wanted someone to make a videogame about militarized walking draglines. They can be absolutely enormous. Self propelled. Can turn in any direction. Very slow. But they have the weight carrying capacity that you could turn it into a mobile aegis cruiser. Who cares about incoming missiles or even artillery rounds if you can arm it with a bunch of CIWS Phalanx, Goalkeepers, Rolling Airframe Missiles, Oto Melara 76mm Super Rapide deck guns, a vertical launch system for tomahawks and sea sparrows, etc etc. Yeah it would have a top speed of a casual walk, but it could be essentially unstoppable. I don't think they can negotiate anything close to a steep hill though...

@jeffrey8979 2 года назад

I looked up how the Boirault machine was supposed to steer at all. With the original machine, the operators would've had get out of the vehicle to laboriously lift it up with jacks and change direction. Obviously this would have been highly impractical in the middle of no man's land. The second trial used smaller internal jacks to do it, but turning would still have taken long and would have had to be done while stopped The final, more compact design featured track segments that could flex slightly to the left and right, allowing better steering on the move. Though steering was *still* highly impractical, and the radius of a turn was as much as 100 meters

Give the bottom more ground clearance... like a lifted jeep... would just need to be 1 to 2 "logs" higher up. Also, you can make the tracks have back bend stoppers.... only allowing them to back bend say 5 to10 degrees... as for turning, you could make some jacks that hang off the sides that allow it to lower the jacks and them being on a turntable bearing so the whole thing gets lifted and rotated. I believe there was some ancient artillery that used that idea.
