It would be cool if they added a lock velocity prograde and retrograde option to the gyroscopes, it would make it behave more like a missile. (as mentioned at 7:40)

[@riddickraymond7067]

I've only watched 5 minutes so far and I can say it's working just like the real one as that tumbles though the air as well as not coming out straight.

[@Chris-ok4zo]

A demo in demolition as well as a lesson in physics? What a deal! Also, why not put a rocket on the projectile to keep it moving even after launch, as well as just putting a spike or a lot of weight on it, so just sheer force is the destructive element, rather than a boring explosive.

[@DarthMalak145]

This would make an awesome multiplayer Monday in scrap Mechanic, where everyone builds something like this and seeing how far it goes, or maybe tossing explosives into each other's castles, etc.

[@Blaster_Unity_UB]

The idea for this video is actually genius!

[@DreadEnder]

YESSSS!!! Thank you for doing spin launch! I’ve been requesting it for ages!

[@SharkLuxYT]

I think I know why the rocket seemed very inconsistent. The gyro was last known to be set to activate with E and Q, the buttons also used in the 'and' gate to launch

[@kayoVibrant]

I believe the problem with the inconsistency was happening because the AND gate required Scrapman to press e. Each time, he might have pressed e later giving the contraption another spin and therefore, more speed which amplifies the tiny inconsistency present because of the game.

[@phoenixdonner8553]

More likely the frame rate I think. I do agree though. It’s worse if the game is also non-deterministic with its physics. You can tell it is because of the way changing the game speed effects the physics.

[@Hattonz]

Would like to see you make this other games Scrapman. I personally think the editor was quite rude when correcting ScrapMan and was disrespectful when doing so. Scrapman understands who watches his videos and he cleverly makes his content clear and engaging for all ages, through how he plays and his editing style. I also find the editing style of this video to be quite common across KZbin, It works on some channels, but not here as it's very distracting and makes the video about the edit and not the content, with no added benefit and losing part of what makes Scrapman's channel great. His really good attention to detail, especially while editing. The best editor should go unnoticed and is there to support the content and not there to compete for attention.

[@burak1382]

I love the editors touch to the video 😂 He makes it even more fun than Scrappy himself and that is something!

[@user-sp5wk4rf6j]

Captions are usually done by KZbin, you may just need to come back later for them.

[@Hadeks_Marow]

Anyone else notice that the issue seems to be the gyroscope? When you have artifacts like this --22:00 where the rocket isn't even facing the right direction, yeah, clearly something funky is going on and making a potential negative contribution. Would love to see this get a re-visit to just not use a hacky gyroscope work-around. Cause things really did start to fall apart when you decided to use a work around to counter it choosing to obey physics ( which gyroscopes do _not_ ).

[@frogsecretaryofswamp452]

multiplayer monday idea: make a scrap mechanic got talent with your discord server with kan, moonbo, kosmo and you as the judge, each judge can bring 3 people from their discord server to be in the episode their job is to make the best creation they can in a limited amount of times with a limited amount of blocks, thruster, wheels, bearings, etc(so it doesnt go too insane) this idea involve the community alot, so im guessing that it will be really funny looking at what the community would build in that short amount of time, tho im guessing someone is gonna make a wedge and a brick for the memes

[@TheBeardedAtheist]

That spin actually does happen. When testing on the real-life unit it does exit erratically and eventually fixes itself in the air but loses a ton of speed when going up sideways.

[@nemasisdemarini8339]

The double power swivel wasn't inconsistent with it's spin. It just spun fast enough for the bomb to hit the ground, detonate, and destabilize the rotation.

[@MrXcuses]

I dont think thrusters would defeat the purpose of spin launching. I think it’s to help yes reduce the amount of fuel used but as well as allowing the payload attached to it to not use as much of its own fuel for the initial energy which is usually where the highest burn rate is.

[@thmsbkr3]

I think part of the issue with double stacking the swivels had to do with your gyroscope. When you would spin up your bomb was trying to stabilize while your swivels were not very stable. Probably would have been better if you'd have built from both sides so everything could've been more stable. (Gyroscope also probably had to do with your rotation while stationary.)

[@oscarvandoorn7213]

I love the editor for saying the things i'm thinking

[@Walker_96365]

0:56 You’re also having to deal with holding the payload in place while it experiences about 10,000 Gs and pulls on the launching mechanism with over 4 million pounds of force!

[@Procraftbrother]

14:58 Scrapman has unlocked the secrets of unlimited energy!!!

[@PicaMula]

Yep, ScrapMan just discovered one (nonzero angular momentum on release) of the many many intrinsic problems that makes SpinLaunch impossible to use it as a rocket launching system.

[@voidwyrm6149]

15:50 that's likely the gyroscope reacting to the arm falling

[@omgtntlol]

I know everyone is already saying this, but the new editor is crazy! Anyway, you already know the drill... *Day 98* of asking Scrapman to do a Multiplayer Monday in survival mode where everyone starts at the crashed ship with a craftbot set up in the mechanic station, then everyone has 30 minutes to build a vehicle from scratch, no glitches, thrusters allowed, after which everyone meets up and races along some road :)

[@ibawkbawki]

I tried to build this in space engineers (would be helpful in that game right? Realism too) there’s not really air physics so I couldn’t make it a vacuum (although pulling air out would be possible I don’t think it’d do anything) But yeah this was difficult asf 😂 there’s not really great timing in that game, at least as customizable as this. I kept having the payload blow throw the sidewalls or clip something and explode the whole station lol. It’s was very fun trying though 😂 maybe I’ll try again the game got a big update, added a lot of tech stuff maybe it’s possible now

[@WillDa713]

The reason why your game speed affects your spin is that you probably have an unconnected block clipping somewhere inside your creation. Try clicking a block that is obviously connected to the structure, such as the cab or one of those big panels on the bottom, then select connected parts and invert the selection, you can then move the piece to see what it is and place it back or just delete it if it's a duplicate. Clipping blocks can be some of the most extremes form of power in physics based games like this one, so it looks like you've only got a single small block glitched in the launching arm

[@WillDa713]

forgot to mention why slowing down time makes it spin backwards. Your thrust is a constant set by the engines, whereas the energy output by the clipping block comes from its collisions with the rest of the structure. With time slowing down, the game is allowed to calculate a greater number of movements and collisions, thus increasing the "propelling" power of the block while the thrusters keep their relative value regardless of time speed. hope it all makes sense, it's still all a guess but it would also explain why the arm would randomly start spinning clockwise and counter-clockwise

[@WillDa713]

i'm still watching the video and you've got the concept in mind it's the same problem you've explained with why the sensor worked differently under different time conditions

[@SkrafEyeQ]

I would personally turn the webcam lights a little down, right now you look like discord light theme. But very epic video and thanks editor for giving me a notice on the audio.

[@MahBor]

The new editor does an awesome job!

[@William_Kyle-Yuki_Yuuki]

I think most of the inconsistency is due to the sensor wabble, it is detecting the launch arm sooner/later than intended because of the angle. perhaps try adding a anchor below the sensor and a solid plate to connect it to at the desired direction to fix its location and prevent excess wabble.

[@famus_tem8351]

my thought for making a spin launch is splitting the counterbalance using release connectors. then you can have multiple payloads and the counterbalance will become lighter and lighter to stay in balance.

[@DanielleWhite]

Scrapman: "I want Spinlaunch!" Scrapmom: "We have Spinlaunch at home." The Spinlaunch at home...

[@danyael777]

15: 20 - Congratz Scrap! You made the perpetuum mobile^^ edit: same effect as with wheels or rotors on camera maybe? When the rpm are above the framerate?

[@voidwyrm6149]

9:15 clicking "reinforced" reduces wobble iirc

[@seanlockhart7636]

Umm...wouldn't you want the big spinning arm to be in the center of your grounding attachment platform not the edge?

[@IM2OFU]

Nice perpetual motion machine though

[@kyysyster]

What if the base would be lotta heavier and the mechanism centered on it? Would that stabilize the whole thing?

[@kyysyster]

Also there reverse spin at lower game speed reminds of the wagon wheel effect =)

[@hmmsus2003]

The gyro on the missile trying it's hardest to defy scrapman's expectations

[@BaronVonWT]

sorry scrapman, but its cause the sledge at the back(the counter weight of thw rocket) and the sensor might detects it and thats the cause why it is sometimes off(and the limits of rhe game, the bomb, speed...) but still good episode

[@SonnyKnutson]

@ScrapMan You could put the sensor closer to the base where the rotation is. Because the closer you get to the axis of rotation. The slower the movement is. Making it easier for the sensor to pick of the arm movement more correctly.

[@CHECKERCE]

[@rccookie6202]

There is more to balancing such a „wheel“; both ends don’t need to be the same weight, they need to have the same angular momentum, which means weight further away from the centerpoint is having a greater effect.

[@golden.raja_]

heyo editor, i have a suggestion. Whenever you zoom/enlarge the face cam, you should re centre it so it looks nice ig 👍

[@jordanu6501]

You invented a perpetual motion machine. Gratz

[@DreadEnder]

I think the way the game measures speed is actually in velocity because when you put the seat on it the velocity was constantly switching between 0 and 1km/h which would happen in rotation because velocity is speed in a straight line, and in rotation your constantly changing direction

[@TheCastagne]

I think it was wobly because the center of mass of the top part is not in the middle of your base plateform. I wonder if a larger base would have help

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

If he had moved the sensor closer to the pivot, it would be moving slower and the sensor may have worked better.

[@projectdren806]

You actually did a perfect job replicating it because the real thing doesn't exist. It's a prototype glorified kickstarter that is near impossible to get to work, specially considering alternative solutions we could come up with. There is an actual rocket scientist on KZbin called Thunderfoot who did a whole video on why this is impossible and just a way for people to get grants to work on an impossible project. So, considering that, you did great!

[@B2411s]

Should have added wings in the back side to make it like a dart (fin stabilization like a dart) to make it stop spinning (or helping at least) and help it go in a straight direction

[@zacrosamond3128]

There needs to be a metal riff and some corny WordArt for when ScrapLad says "instrument of destruction" just like "delayed annihilation"

[@CarlosAldrey]

probably when reducing the speed you need to first stop, reduce the speed and then press the buttons again, to kinda recalculate the sim from 0 at a different time frame

[@CurlyCross]

I think part of your wobble issue is not having a centered support pole from the stabilizing platform.

[@YoYoK3nny]

Scrapman should really try this again with a square base and maybe give the pole some support struts (or a frame that keeps the pole straight at all times)

[@Gomorragh]

i think the sensor is reacting to ether the bomb is wandering around or still on the end causing your aiming problems ..... also need a separate frame for the aiming laser/sensor than the missile carrier, basically meaning the arm isnt causing wobbly physics problems because 2 spindles are not trying to interract anymore

[@xymaryai8283]

i'd love to see you do this chaos in a game like Juno New Origins, there isn't anything destructible in the world, but people on the website have made completely modeled buildings

[@loganflowers400]

i worked for spin launch :), i was in comecial diving school and they came to hire welders. (lloyds sertified underwater welders) anywho it was a cool job.

[@Circle9ru]

ok, how to make it more precise: first of all, equalize the weight and lenght(lenght is importand for momentum, when its not equalized its wobly) of all part, this moving part should be attached to the center of the base, the sensor "arm" should have counter part with same weight, but no sensor ofc. to make it even better, put attaching block on the piston at the end of sensor arm pointing down, after you aim, you push the piston down and attach the sencor arm to the ground. also you can increase the amount of attchment blocks on the bottom aswell.

[@Lemming2222]

When looking for the mass of the selected parts - does this game have some kind of Ctrl-Z for reverting changes? Then you could delete the selected parts and have the total mass before and after, still a workaround but fairly quick I assume

[@Earlchaos]

That's exactly how the spinlaunch would work too if they would ever build one :)

[@mattmays9063]

I kow what happened. As the gyrating entity on the screen achieves a rotational velocity of utmost extremity, precisely aligning with the angular momentum generated by its eccentric, inertia-driven release point! This, my dear friend, instigates an off-kilter perimeter distillation, thus unleashing a cataclysmic cascade of calamities, all due to the incongruous encounter between the 144Hz refresh rate and a series of gravity-fueled calculations, multiplied by the off-axis vector dampening. As this bewildering concoction reaches the brink of critical mass, it sets in motion a temporal anomaly, compelling the fabric of time to retrace its steps in a most peculiar fashion! But wait, there's more! Upon decelerating the visual record, we bear witness to a phenomenon that defies the very foundations of science - the transmutation of matter from a solid to a gaseous state in the blink of an eye! This extraordinary display, with roots in the slit experiment and the principles of relativity, precipitates a most unusual circumstance: the unraveling of time itself, rewinding in an impeccably accurate manner, retracing the events as they initially transpired. -Written by Matt and Inspired by Doc Brown from 'Back to the Future'.

[@thisismyusername6071]

i think the weird effects that happen are either the game breaking or the gyro is breakin

[@WoodrosWorld]

You should be able to remake this same thing in scrap mechanic, would be cool to see, imo

[@KainaX122]

I feel like you would’ve gotten more stability if you’d put the flywheel in line with the arm, rather than at the end of it - like have it attached on both sides as opposed to just one side

[@smarty265]

Amaizing editor notes, glad to see!

[@FundyTheAstronaut]

I love this editor

[@blindtraveler844]

thats the conservation of angular momentum IE the spinning after launch is the main issue with the spin launch system .. they need to add a leverage system in their launcher on the projectile end to counter that rotation which they have in their test design its def possible tho
