It worked better than I thought! I'm thinking that there are probably many other uses for a moving connection like that. I've seen people do this linearly in elevators etc. But not in a wheel with rotation.
So how about a gun station... The center being spherical grid composed of a large cargo container a build and repair system set primarily to pick up floating amunition and a few batteries... Add greebles wherever wanted. Have two advanced rotors on opposite sides of the grid piped to the cargo. Attach the inside of a ring to the rotors on both sides... Have two more advanced rotors on the outer edge of the ring perpendicular to the axis of the first two. Attach the inside diameter of a second ring to the rotors on the second axis... Be certain to have a turret control block in the center grid. Set the turret control block to use a rotor from the first axis as the vertical and the second axis as the horizontal targeting controls... Mount guns and or solar panels on outer ring and us turret control block to set it on automated targeting
Trial and error :D It's mostly about having the dimensions correct so there is a minimal amount of phantom forces, and having correct settings for the actuators like share inertia tensor, on/off and breaking torque etc.
this design is almost like my failed attemt of a chain driven elevator (but it's better than mine that's for sure) the failed detachment is caused by the flexing of the chain design wich in turn causes the sensor to not detach. (A possible fix) make a tensioner using a wheel and piston or just a wheel & weights using counter weight & gravity but since a piston usually causes explosions you might prefere to use the counter weight solution
The difference is that the elevator might not have to be powered, at least not all the time. So the continuous connection may not be required. In my testing I noticed that sometimes when the segment detaches from the wheel it re-attaches because the attaching sensor is triggered again. The tension helps with this. Adjusting the sensor ranges might help as well.
So what I am taking from your videos, if I want to design something, do it in Creative. Didn’t know I could do that. I am a week and a half old. I am also 58 😱😁😂🤣
So you come back on and off? That is good, as I would hate to see you go. I am brand new, about a week and a half old. You have inspired me very much, thank you! I speak two languages, English and bad English. Since Finnish is your primary and English secondary, you speak English better than I! 😱😱🤣😁😅😎😎😎😎🫡🫡🫡🫡
Just thinking about this with the turret control system just scares the crap out of me. This is a great idea and thank you for sharing with us all.
We miss you bro, bless us with your ingenuity once again please
Your ingenuity scares me
Be not afraid
"At Aperture Engineers, we cycle the whole gun! That's 60 % more gun, per gun!"
And since with Most Wanted we now, finally, have 1×1×1 Advanced Rotors, ammunition can now be piped for survival through this setup.
LOL
I knew you were going to make Chain-Railguns!
The lock-system with the rotors is really good!

As always nice to see your crazy inventions :)
Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Dang, that looks sick!
Thanks!✌🏻

Holy moly, you are quite talented.
Thanks mate!✌🏻
perfect the rock raise eyebrow moment
It was inevitable.
holy shit how does this thing not break?

Is this a bad design? Absolutely no. Has anyone found a better use of the rail gun? Absolutely no. Did I enjoy this video? Absolutely yes.
Absolutely thanks for watching mate!
can u build a " usable " printer without pistons ,.... pistons are online very limited ,hinges not
Very sad that you did not show us anyhing good
That is very sad indeed

Building things in survival is certainly rewarding as well, but for prototyping and complex builds it's much easier and less frustrating in creative
