I did some experimenting, i've gotten as high as 500k swats using 2 small/ 2 large pistons running 8 large gens, my train generates 150k waaaay too much overkill and only run it at 1% or about 3500swatts. The trick is to feed the small pistons plenty of large emotors to keep the small and large pistons running at 10rps. Runs most excellent.
yeah this really shine giving High rps/low torques sources that extra oomph it needs to generate the rps. one guy i showed this to was gonna working into a ocean liner probably.
Does this compound? Like would you get better results going from a small to a medium to a large or is only from small to a bigger piston? I'm wondering also how much insane speed you could theoretically set up. Use compound steam turbines to this piston setup to a 1x1 flywheel into a 3x3 fly wheel into a 5x5 fly wheel into like six 3:1 speed gear boxes all on a cargo ship....It'll be Yeetstocraties the Mistake.

Well it best serves underpowered torque system. it gets limited by the fact that pistons cap at 10 RPS and it doesnt add more torque than the last piston in the series. TBH i haven't tried Paralell. none of my creations go to that need. However i have tossed my turbine boat with this as it allowed the turbine get up to speeds and really have fun.
@@coolcat498 definitely one way to look at it. I feel it more like steals it. As the torque ends being the torque from the last piston in the line. But I've seen some weird stuff that contradicts that too.
@@coolcat498 as far I know yes it should still work. are you using a hybrid system? Like diesel electric or steam electric? I have a electric video that might address some you might have.
@@archadeseng.corpsgaming its provably going to use the torque amplification thing ill try that out this evening and its probably going to be diesel steam
Your title is a lie, you need steam to launch the game :D
Duuude i needed that laugh! XD
@@archadeseng.corpsgaming Glad you liked it :D
HAhaha :D
He's just missing the token, "9 out of 10 Stormworks creators HATE me for this 1 trick!!!!"

Still waiting for the hypersonic boat build
I dont remember that plan o.o
So it basically upscales torque?

@archadeseng.corpsgaming does it still work? If yes ill prolly use it on my large fast ferry because four 10000 gen output engines wont cut it
@archadeseng.corpsgaming does it still work? If yes imma use it in my fast ferry cause 4 10000 gen output engines is not gonna cut it
