Can PARTY BALLOONS Break The Sound Barrier? [Trailmakers]

Welcome to another episode of Trailmakers! Today I am trying to break the sound barrier using only party balloons! I did it with the much more powerful inflatable balloons, but these ones are not only weaker but much more difficult to build around. Will it work?

About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

[@ThePhonax]

Just so you all know, the reason he was able to break the sound barrier by falling in the seat at the end is because when the blocks that were in front of the seat got destroyed, that removed all air drag and resistance from in front of the seat. trailmakers just works like that. it's also the way that the zero drag glitch works in trailmakers, if you put detachable blocks in front of points of drag and have the detach when the creation spawns in, all drag is removed from those areas.

[@breyongoyt4303]

I want to try that on a drag racer

[@rylenstuffsv2]

Wondered how zero drag glitches worked, no wonder when one spawns a whole lot of sparks appear. It's so simple to be a glitch too, actually the ufo hover glitch is also simple now that I thought of it lol

[@TheVerendus]

Ah, so basically the drag values are only calculated once at creation/reset, and if a block is destroyed or removed during play the drag will not be newly calculated for the now exposed part. Am i understanding the zero drag glitch correctly?

Scrapman, I have been watching you since I made this channel. I love your videos so much, and they brighten up my day. I love your scrapmechanic role play series, instruments of destruction videos, and the trailblazers campaign. I have and will continue to be a fan of 8 years. You are incredibly close to 1 million subscribers, and I cannot wait for the day when you reach that legendary milestone.

[@kruth6663]

What? I haven't used the party balloon to build anything yet because I assumed they'll go straight upwards no matter in which direction they're installed. So I'm surprised to find out in this video that they'll just stay rigid on any installed direction. The reason I didn't use it is that I don't want all my creations to look like the house from the movie Up. Now that it work like this, it starts to feel interesting. I can use it for lift like a lighter version of gimbal. Still have to cover them up to look good though, I hope they just change the design to look more like a serious part of a vehicle, similar to the boyancy blocks. Speaking of which, the balloon has a very unique feature that it provide lift and boyancy both in air and water. When you build a amphibious vehicle, that cuts away a lot of weight. It'll be perfect for building a flying-submarine aircraft to travel in the high seas map.

[@nickygames8245]

it would be nice if they made the balloons more colorful so that it is a party balloon. we can put decals at least.

[@ThePhonax]

the balloons can be painted any color. Scrapman's theme is red, so by default, any pieces he spawns in are red with black as a secondary color, including balloons.

I bought trailmakers recently and it has been super fun in campaign mode and playing alongside your videos! I managed to get supersonic with only 21 balloons, which is super close to your initial prediction of 17. You probably won't see this, but I love your videos and I can't wait for Multiplayer Monday tomorrow!

[@wandrappel]

how did you do it with only 21? did you use glitches?

[@_miobrot_603]

​​​@@wandrappel no glitches, but you need to save all the weight possible, and have them stacked instead of side by side. His first design was very close to my model.

[@CrazyMan-qg2bg]

i love that scrapman used logic to make the balloon inflate in the beginning when there is a setting to have it start out fully inflated

[@alienwarmachine6011]

That setting only works if there's a seat attached.

[@natashaeliot3628]

if you use the chrome bumper pieces from the decorative section they have no aerodynamics i've discovered also theres the 2 by 1 by 1 cone now

[@tommydobos]

Lmao, Kan making a full video on breaking the soundbarrier with gravity only, scrapman accidentally does it😂

[@fun-damentals6354]

it was very simple to calculate how many you would need. previous balloon could lift 70 , this one can lift 17.5. the ratio between those two numbers is 4. multiply 4 by 12(number of balloons you had in the previous video) and you get 48

[@samuelwangsamas7689]

Try going supersonic with suspention tention Edit: Love the editor btw

[@notonlyhuman6073]

Here’s an idea! “How many ways can one single vehicle break the sound barrier?” Have a vehicle that uses a propulsion method to break the sound barrier, then sheds those pieces and breaks the sound barrier again with a different propulsion method, then sheds those pieces and does it again, getting smaller and smaller, and finally ending with just your seat and a few aero blocks to break the sound barrier with gravity. Vehicle would start off massive, but if you choose the order of propulsion methods right, I think you could do at least a few in a row.

[@chalkopirate]

Funny thing about that song. 99 Luftballons (original name) never stated anywhere in the lyrics that the baloons were red

[@nameless7316]

Love how five years ago he was just simply trying to break the sound barrier with a huge creation now it’s trying to use party balloons

[@alexknj1]

Well using the four side girder blocks and having four balloons per layer would probably get you more lift per weight ratio.

[@pularis1629]

The first concept would’ve worked if he made it to where no aerodynamics would be added. Also he could do with 46 if he optimized weight and a little aerodynamics (replace the two support wedges for a grid block underneath the cone)

[@duncanfather3039]

I love your vids scrapman, have been watching them for many years now, i have a multiplayer video idea: BattleBots 2.0 because the destruction physics are way different now, hope your doing well

😂😂😂I guessed It right at the beginning 😂😂😂 48 balloons, the bigger ballons looked like 4 times bigger so i thought quadruple it and you're good.

[@kruth6663]

Ohh you may have found a hidden function of the party balloon! I think when it breaks it absorbs some of the impact and protects the rest of the vehicle

When are you going to do volcanoids again?

right on time love your videos scrapman

[@CJBee1234]

Great vids keep up the amazing work! (:

[@sparrowEP]

just want to say, the way you accidentally broke sound barrier is because you kind of no drag glitched it (there were blocks right in front of it, they removed the seat aero, but since the blocks got destroyed its like if you used no drag)

[@joshuamorin2123]

If you use all four sides of the centerpieces, then you can probably delete the top half just by making it more compact. That saves a tiny bit of weight and maybe it might be able to take a layer of balloons off

[@Necromorph790]

I wish trailmakers would just add more blocks that made some of the building so much easier. I have that issue with certain aerodynamic blocks we have currently

[@ProfessionalNoodler]

[@justyouraveragenerd5152]

21:22 That's a clickbait KZbin title if I've ever heard one "I SURVIVED HITTING THE SKYBOX AT THE SPEED OF SOUND!!! 😱😱😱"

[@Juggernautohyeah]

Well dang, my random guess of 50 was way closer than I expected.

[@theodoric4270]

I know I'm a little late, but my guess is 44. The party balloons have about 1/4 the lift of the big balloons. I'm still convinced that the design with the big balloons could have worked with only 11 if it flew straight. I figured it would be easier to fly straight with the party balloons (i.e., it would take less extra weight to make that happen), but they would have a larger aerodynamic profile because they don't have a set of parallel faces with attachment points. These would balance out. Hence my guess is 11 * 4 = 44. 44 is also a multiple of 4, so many conceivable designs could end up with that number of balloons.

[@anakyeateam]

Nice editing!

[@The_Exister1]

I have a potential solution to having to frantically jump into the creation as soon as it spawns. You could put a detachable block between the two paddles which is connected to a literal ton of weight blocks. (Get it, ton, weight, nevermind.)

[@alienwarmachine6011]

Or a detachable block connected to an anchor block.

[@The_Exister1]

@@alienwarmachine6011 That's so much more compact, I'm stupid.

[@The_Exister1]

@@alienwarmachine6011 Actually, for that to work you would have to spawn the creation in the ground which might bug it out.

I'm surprised Scrapman forgot his experiments on using only aerodynamic blocks for wings. If you have enough speed, they can work like wings (albeit much more slowly).

[@WilliamLDeRieuxIV]

17:24 -- **At 36 ballons?** -- I counted 20 on one side, that would be 40 (adding 4 more on each side is 48) -- confirmed at 22:10. I figured it would it take 48 balloons.... 70kg / 20 kg = 3.5 (so about 4 party balloons per 1 inflatable). The original took 12 ballons, so needing a 4:1 ratio would be 48 balloons.

Comparing the big balloons' power to the party balloons' power, I used math to calculate you need about 44 party balloons to break the sound barrier. It seems I was pretty close!

Yo, I think it could be interesting to see you try to build cool things in Robocraft 2, I don't know if you're familiar with the first one, but there is so many new things, where there are powered and passive joints of many different varieties, and logical circuit components now! It is very fun to play with, and is relatively similar to what you currently play and would love to see you try :D

[@dawrench07]

The math works. Took 12 big ballons last time, 1 big can lift roughly 70lbs. 1 red could barely lift a quarter of that. 4 would probably lift roughly 70. So you can assume 12x4 is 48.
