@@SilverMKI I can see the beauty in the theory, but there’s obviously zero possibility of it being used for any manned missions. As of April, NASA had decided to continue to invest in the concept to see if it could be used to deliver a payload into space more efficiently than rockets alone, but I guess we’ll see if it’s possible for the company to build a vacuum chamber the size of a football field that can accelerate a payload to 5000 mph reliably.

@retsaM innavoiG because you are putting significant amounts of energy into something that requires extremely precise timing and rapid movement of launch parts (ie the cover over the vacuum chamber, the release mechanism, etc) to function correctly. Any failure or misalignment means you are throwing the payload through the side walls of your launch chamber or ripping your launch mechanism apart. You're rapidly repressurising the launch chamber which doesn't do hardware or electronics any good. Much better to pick a mountain somewhere and build a maglev launch rail and tunnel up the side of it, since you can use that for much larger payloads as well as crewed modules.

You should use the angle sensor instead of the altitude. The way it's set, if you're headed down from the top when you hit the speed setpoint, it'll detach anyway. The angle sensor would let you be sure you detach at the optimum point. Maybe add just a bit of weight to give you a stabilization fin for the flight? Also, check the cockpit weight. You might be able to balance the load with the engines in the axial direction - engines on one side, cockpit in the other, with just the cockpit and it's streamlining detaching. Use a flat connector to hold it to the side, with the detachable block behind the cockpit attached to it. I'm a mech eng myself.

@AgentWest2 жыл бұрын
You took a 10-minute topic and stretched it out to over 20! Now THAT is skill! :D On a serious note, servo stacking _is_ a thing in TM, but it only works if you power them. If they are free-spinning it does nothing. Also TM tends to get unhappy if there are large side loads (like a long support pillar) on hinges and such since those are not all that rigid at high loads. You can even see servos sagging when they were stacked to support the catapult at one time. Point is, making this catapult's base into a U shape instead of two separate pillars would have been way more stable. And lastly, why not use angle sensors instead of altitude? Would have been way easier to program the release angle.

Also they decimate the local bird populations. If you can get close to the base of one, it's like a boneyard...
