Engineering TOP 1% bridges in Poly Bridge 3!

[@EtheE]

You should try to get top % in least stress, it's a totally different challenge as you have to make sure every single piece is properly supported.

[@hvm2hvm]

Ye, IMO that's what a good engineer wants. It seems silly to want the cheapest possible design instead of the best strength under budget.

[@LyricNear]

That's what I was hoping this video was from the title tbh, i think it would be a nice change of pace

[@cosmo8412]

@@hvm2hvmeven though its a game and thats usually the goal is to make it cheap i still think he should do this as it would be entertaining to see how he manages to pull it off

[@Bassalicious]

without busting the budget, yeah that'd be awesome and actual engineering.

[@conlanchastain3708]

I’m just adding another comment so RCE knows the people want to see this lol

[@Bassalicious]

That triangle at 8:00 is a cam that wedges itself into the wall as load is applied to the bridge. It's freaking genius and beautiful to watch. It's basically acting like the rocker in pushrod suspension. Edit: Also note they left a quad instead of solid triangles below the outside road pieces, so it can deform while the cam is rotating but still hold the road up. It's such a gorgeous solution.

[@vinitfirke2201]

Correct. I think a mechanical engineer made that bridge😆

[@Bassalicious]

@@vinitfirke2201 Yeah probably. They definitely knew what they were doing, that's for sure.

[@toshik6229]

polybridge players sometimes invent stuff on their own, this might be a result of trying to get rid of a piece. But most likely that man is just smart

[@takumi2023]

i knew the rotation was driving the wedge into the wall. i thought that was obvious, surprised matt didn't understand that. i didn't know it was a mechanical engineer thing.

[@dlcdaniel6308]

Zombey is a german youtuber that also started playing polybridge but more casually than you do. His "trademark" is his purple top hat (and sometimes suit)

[@trollcrafterchen2297]

As for the Cylinders and the "Zombey" in the Gallery, that is a very cool German KZbinr who also plays Polybridge.

[@NekoEko]

Yep, though the translation for Zylinder is top hat

[@dirg1361]

If you wonder what that "Zombey" Text in one of the Level was. Its a german KZbinr called Zombey. And the "Box" under it is supposed to be a cylinder hat: his distinguishing feature

[@ptodd5373]

A bridge "engineer" in Canada had his bridge collapse an hour after it opened. This is the 5th time its bridges have been investigated. you should make his bridges in this game.

[@darioschottlender]

Try the least stress challenge, also it's often the 5-10% which is proper engineering and 5-1% are often cheese or riggity stuff

[@BaeYeou]

For the wall braces at 7:34, I assume the wood triangles are on the braces so that the bridge can flex more easily. The bridge is designed to bend and flex, so without those triangles and having a more stiff brace like yours, the compressive force between the solid wall and the bridge would be dealt by the wood itself. By having those wood triangles there, they create extra nodes so that the brace can fold a bit more without snapping and handle the bridge's bending.

[@nameless5413]

snorkel paddy is very impressive indeed. RCE breaking for Allan's Dong overload is funny - Matt promissed we will see it in pretty much every video and eventualy turned it into his signature. Basicaly i support people playing with their strongest shapes and or concenting partner's for great fun.

[@punnup3452]

26:30 Max stress 99.69% Perfectly engineered

[@OldManSilencer]

the wall braces on the one are designed to switch to use tension when the truck is over it and pressing down on that side and when the truck is on the far side give compression so the other side can be tension. it's just a brilliant little mechanism.

[@vancouverstuff1]

Day nine of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet. It's name comes from the fact that it collapsed twice during construction, which unalived 23 people in total (Hence the name, ironworkers memorial).

[@vinitfirke2201]

That 1st bridge triangle thingy that you didnt understand is basically a "Rocker Arm" and automobile engineers use it as a suspension connecting Wheels A-arms to the piston, its not used in commerical cars but in Formula Style Race cars. Now thats a bridge that only a Mechanical Engineer can make! An Engineer nevertheless😤

[@abalakrishnan4152]

That was really cool! It's like F1 suspension because it has to be laid out widthwise instead of vertically.

[@noeatnosleep]

Matt, the wall braces on the cheapest one works like the rear suspension of various racing cars. The further down the bridge pushes, the harder the triangle presses into the wall because of the rotation. Whoever built that one was a real-ass engineer, or they got really lucky. I would pretty much have to go looking for what else they built to know the difference , and I haven't, so I don't know. (Four link suspension is one of the things I'm talking about)

[@m0002856]

I think the thing with the first bridge in the gallery you viewed with the weird wall braces was giving the pieces the ability to flex without crushing the wood. Notice how the triangular wall braces kinda pivot back and forth? I’m guessing that’s how they got away with it. Your wall braces were not able to compress, so they would break if they got squashed too hard. His braces pivot along the corner of the triangle (and the anchor up top also looks like it rotated to provide extra length so the pieces up there didn’t break from over extension) so the entire bridge can sag and move without breaking any of the supports it looks like.

[@Special_Sharpie]

i would love a video where RCE just grades people bridges. Like give the community a challenge bridge then a review all those bridges on like realism, uniqueness, practicality and such.

[@Senfgurk3]

I’m 14 and even I understand how the wall braces of the 8:10 bridge work,I mean the triangles, the weight of the truck and tre bridge presses a peace of wood,which is connected to the triangle down, that presses the triangle against the wall,what keeps the wall up

[@martinleland3969]

I think it lets the bridge flex but still keep contact with the wall🤔 8:00 *

At around 15:00, you mention wood being lighter than steel. In the previous Poly Bridge games, I think I remember that different types of material don't affect the structure's weight, rather, it is the joints that actually affect weight. That is, more joints = more weight. Did Poly Bridge 3 "fix" that? Does steel actually weigh more than wood now?
