- 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??

Sorry Spiffing Brit btw! 😅
I forgot about him. Thank you 💕
You mean sorry SpinLaunch 😉
This is probably not too dissimilar to the Spin Launch kinetic launch device...
@@jdyerjdyer lol read replies when reply
Please do some videos with him! I love you both!
Next part should be building a bridge that breaks the sound barrier.
Rce must see this
Suicidal Bridge of life
Yes
He hearted it!
Yes, the world's first supersonic bridge.
1: It has to be a functional bridge.
2: It has to get a sonic boom as a functional bridge... Not pieces of a once functional bridge.
There's something about RCE saying "aerodynamically sound" that makes me think it will work. He's got that professional authority in his voice still 😂
Yea
Hey RCE, you should start a real bridge review series where people send in bridges and you review them to find the best in the UK or the world?
Yes
i would send a picture from the biggest abomination of a bridge called pellisensalmen silta in hankasalmi finland
Ahhhhhhh the grammar
I like this idea
I agree, wvry time I see a bridge I'm split on if I should send a picture to rce to get him to review it.
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.
I now really want just a conversation between Spiffing Brit and Real Civil Engineer on anything and everything.
I think stacking the servos does increase the speed but you just forgot to power them
Powered? Uh oh, someone's gonna go fast now
It needs to be set to free spin
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
@@akashics1275 a trebuchet is just a bigger better but slower catapult
Yeah, I would've had the rockets along the arm and then detach the cockpit from the end of the arm, instead of detaching it all in a big unit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You should play “Airship: Conquer the Skies”
It’s a pretty cool game.
omg lmaoooo i love when he impersonated Spiff. that made me bend over laughing
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!
6:51 People of culture know what that number is 😂
You should add control surfaces so you can fly the detached bit after it launches you!
This whole thing reminds me of that company, (Spin Launch, I think), that's trying to do this exact thing to reduce the fuel needed to get satellites into orbit.
Why do you use an altitude measure if there is an angle measure? That will give you more precise control over the launch without having to remeasure it all the time.
20:10 The KRAKEN is calling you 😂😂
Thanks to this video I now understand trailmakers logic blocks. Thanks XD
That Spiff imitation was on point! 😅😅
I hope you two will make some kind of collab 😎
Spiffing Brit impression was spot on!
Nice use of logic!
Bet Scrapman would be impressed :P
Trailmakers is Perfectly balanced with no exploits whatsoever.... Oh man, I love you both!
the spiff reference was so good lmao
I would love to see you launch something but it to be controllable, like a glider.
This device works more similarly to a trubuchet than a catapult, but it isn't either. Fascinating.
21:44 this would have worked if he was in the right seat lol
Says it's "too fast to detach", when clearly one side is missing
@@coco4coconut232 he isnt the sharpest tool in the shed but atleast hes entertaining lol
"Local man engineers supersonic amusement park ride, neighborhood children flock to try it."
Awesome! Very satisfying to get that successful final launch.
Scrapman, kAN, and moobo make videos on this game a lot. You could Learn a lot from there trailmaker videos :)
This is my favorite supersonic build so far
Happy Fun Fact: Modern windmill blades are constructed of carbon fiber and are designed to exceed 300+mph but rarely see over 150-175mph.
Sad Fun Fact: The process of mining the materials and producing carbon fiber on a large enough scale is *_SO_* polluting, that it would take nearly 800 years of continual wind to offset the carbon footprint. Also they decimate the local bird populations. If you can get close to the base of one, it's like a boneyard...
A trick I learnt the other day.
Hold control and double click a part to highlight all of the same part
Make the flying part land safely!
Matt the last video the whole thing is off balance, you need to make both sides the weight so it doesn't wiggle. As someone in your comments said "Perfectly balanced" i.e. SSC metallic wheels for land speed record or your daily vehicle tires.
Timing the release to as close to the sonic boom as possible would have a greater dramatic effect.
Also, you should do a catapult challenge with other content creators, or with subscribers. Who can launch a specific object the farthest? You'll need to come up with build standards.
hmm didnt expect to see logic gates in a civil engineer channel XD
Super Sonic Catapult FTW! That was awesome!
Haven’t watched since around 100k subs and it’s crazy that I came back and you have over a mil 😳
pressing backspace clears all of the creations on the map
Something I didn't know I needed. Thanks R. C. E.
Add wings and vertical stabilizer to that piece and see if it flys straight lol.
You should build something that makes multiple sonic-booms at once
I wonder if he could build a helicopter that used supersonic blades to gain elevation?
If you can you should try launching something with a catapult and making that projectile break the sound barrier without added thrusters or jet engines to said projectile
Now that this is an old video lol you should try and use this to launch a glider at sonic speeds that would be really cool
Trebuchets are superior.
Also, this is kinda the premise behind Spin Launch, have you heard of it?
make the thruster deactivate after release and try to get a perfect launch angle
Next ur gonna make a bridge that spins so fast it brakes the sound Barrier whilst cars are on the top
Lol no
Whatapp XD
these videos make it very hard to believe you're an engineer :b
It makes you wonder how many lives physics simulation games save by letting engineers make insane contraptions in a safe way.
Jit this man is tripping with these dragon engines not understanding the concept of a top speed
'Logicking this up' RCE, 2022
You should make the catapult launch a glider type plane that would be cool
Kinda wish you launched just the cockpit lol. You could have moved the cockpit higher and put a detach block under it, I think it would have been covered by a wedge, plus the cockpit is still fairly aerodynamic which may have provided less resistance than the 4 wedges. I just think the cockpit alone would have gone further, plus wouldn't have been self propelled. so really you made a trebuchet inspired rocket catapult with a rocket propelled payload.. though, that sounds pretty cool and effective lol
i'm still hoping you can do a collab with spiffing brit. would be nice to watch.
Day 8 of asking RCE to play BeamNG Drive (It's crazy cuz it's a car game and has little to no engineering involved)
Ye
You should build a supersonic plane Launcher
Could’ve also did it with a distance sensor on one of them. As of the speed idk if it would be better at the top or bottom
a catapult that launches functioning Plaines would be awesome
you didnt need to redesign the detachment point you just needed to get in the other end!
There's times that I'm glad Matt doesn't design amusement parks. 😆👍
Throw some wings on it and you have a spin launch system!
All those spinning servos almost make it look like you could build a gearbox and have proper gear ratios or something
This made me think of the spinlaunch company that is trying to launch stuff into space by spinning it
Wow post that on the workshop.
So now that you have a projectile, attach some wings and try to get it to glide into a somewhat safe landing
I do miss UK. Great content and veryf unny
What’s UK?
@@chazza8670 United kingdom,
@@Vortex-Gaming314 What do you mean by missing it? Its not gone 😂😂
@@chazza8670 I lived there, and then i left
Really wished he would have used the Thanos, PERFRCTLING BALANCED
An actual functional SpinLaunch.
Next thing to learn... there are multiple camera "modes"... so you dont need to hold right mouse button...
This should be called breaking the unbreakable anchor point!
17:11 is a helicoptor
Yay, RCE is learning logic in trailmakers! Maybe it will be easier than poly bridge 2 hydraulics
Everything is easier than hydraulics!
i wanna see the sonic boom as it flies through the air. lower the release to 760 or 765
first time i heard the word "logicking this up" by matt
If you press backspace, it will clear your other builds without you having to leave the game
Just put a lot of gimbal jets in a vertical line
11:30 Maybe it is a mile made up of 1000 divisions, each equal to 5.28 feet.
3.28 feet
ftfw
@@therookiegamer2727 I am not talking about the meter. I am talking about 1 thousandth of a mile. A mile has 5280 feet. 5280/1000=5.28.
What I am trying to say is that it might be using metric prefixes on English units.
@@therookiegamer2727 And what does "ftfw" mean? I cannot imagine it is very nice.
@@dannypipewrench533 it's supposed to be ftfy (fixed that for you)
@@scottdotjazzman Oh, that makes sense.
A bit of research has revealed that it is not always the most friendly term.
You should put wings on the cockpit and try to glide out of the catapult launch.
So grab some Yorkshire tea and... wait, wrong channel.... Uhh... Catapult- nadooooo!
Can we hold a RCE fan meet up but its a competition on who can build the strongest model bridge?
with a fixed length arm, wasn't only the angle sensor necessary?
you should play scrap mechanic becuse it is just like trail makers and it has tons of engerniring to be done
When you stack spinning servos, the game physics doesn’t know what to do, and it makes them a bit bendy, so in the future, use only one on each side.
I think r e should build a super sonic plan that’s a bridge
the raw jet is the most powerful but overheats and has a cooldown
Spinlaunch recreated in trailmakers
You should put wings on it, make it a glider.
16:44 story of my life.
Idea for the next one:
Ad a glider to see how far it goes
C'mon RCE, everyone knows a trebuchet is the premier medieval siege weapon.
Have you ever heard about the game "when pigs fly" it's pretty similar to this but you have to make a pig fly.
can you put on another cockpit or some kind weight on the oppesit arm? it seems like there's a difference
good video man!
trebuchet is better than the catapult
I wonder if spiff does watch you content? Should lure him in with some Yorkshire Tea
Who here gave RCE access to an ulimited supply of logic gates? You *know* that you should *never* give an engineer an unlimited supply of anything!
whats the difference between that video and the other one you made where you broke the sound barrier ? You just have to build the same thing verticaly
