I am utterly floored, this is absolutely the most incredible K'nex roller coaster I've ever seen. It's so smooth, such clean transitions, and such a long circuit off a single lift hill! Not to mention the efficient use of a small space. Well. Freaking. Done.

[@jonny-b4954]

Small space is subjective. It's an entire back yard haha.

My neighbor was a government engineer for the military and he built a 100 foot high and about 1500 foot long coaster that shot you out of your seat and into his pond at the end. It was so awesome growing up next to Donnie! He was always doing cool shit out back for us kids.

I love the brakes at the end, they are so smooth, and it doesn’t look like the Roller Coaster is made of Tungsten and will not break no matter how hard it impacts a strong barrier. What I mean is that some Knex Roller Coasters stop the car immediately through a barrier, which is just painful and neck-breaking to watch.

Suprised you got so much distance out of it without it losing all of its energy.

[@Xtrovid]

A lot of this footage seems like it was sped up. The build is impressive, but I do get the feeling that he might have had to push it along parts of the track at times and that it wouldn't actually finish this circuit without his help. No knock on him, the laws of friction really don't favor light objects, but yeah, I'm pretty sure he was guiding it by hand for parts of this, there's no way this amount of distance is possible.

[@spider0804]

@@Xtrovid unless it is several cuts it would be hard to run after it and keep bumping it. More likely is the train weighs a crapton, like a few pounds atleast.

[@Xtrovid]

@@A_piece_of_broccoli "physics is scalable" Errr. No, not really, there are a hell of a lot of constants involved, and the equations aren't all linear, you can't just increase the mass of an object proportional to the scale of what you're trying to model and expect the behavior to be the same, especially not if you start needing to take friction into account.

[@knexnhershey]

@@Xtrovid The course was slowed down but the chain lift was sped up, and the trains are massive and weigh 4-5 pounds. Combine that with custom 3d printed cars with custom-made ball bearings and a sturdy support structure that has rods in the ground, and you hold a ton of your speed.
