So I Added YOUR Mod Ideas to Scrap Mechanic...

[@michaserafin5776]

Instead of calculating "energy" of thing on bearing attached to the generator, battery should apply some type of load like turned off gas engine that would be more realistic and balanced

[@turrboenvy4612]

This is the way. The generator would decelerate the spinning mass, and where a larger mass comes in is it has more momentum to decelerate, so it would spin for longer. Also this is awesome.

[@Vessekx]

Yep. The energy generated is dependent on the angular velocity of the spinning part, not it’s mass. The mass will keep it spinning longer without applying more power to the input, but will take more energy to spin it up. (That’s the point of a flywheel.)

[@gamebeast4510]

And also realistically the barring shoud be on the motor caz with water or wind miles is basicly on a big motor but not powered

[@reedtassell4847]

Then you use pistons to make batteries and have infinite powah

[@XnetRoidPL]

Also, it's not mass but moment of inertia. Much worse to calculate

[@LordDEADTO0L]

Throwing you some support too DPP

[@Dr-Pixel]

[@loneside4912]

Wow. I love how you "casually" made a gearbox of which is something us mechanical players have been wanting for forever! I think everybondy would love to see this idea expanded further into some kind of "Mechanical power transmission" mod or something. This is seriously huge, because the inconsistent collision physics makes 90 degree bevel gears and really any form of gears for transmission very, very, tedious. This would also apply very well to sruvival, because even there, the collisions are worse, especially with the slightly more floppy bearings it has. Love it!

[@Dr-Pixel]

I'm not a fysiks expert (even though I had a lot at school), so idk if I wanna get that deep into it. But if anyone wants to improve the code, I'd welcome it!

Finally, a gearbox to go with the ACL gears mod!

[@wickedfast2166]

Battery generator for regenerative breaking would be neat

[@danegerrard2884]

Not sure if this has been done before, but could you try making a gearbox, basically an input bearing point and output bearing point, which takings the input speed and multiplies it by the gear setting, could also attached 2 button interactive points for the connect tool, to gear up and down if you've got multiple speeds in the gearbox

[@DenserThanLead]

[@RealPanzer999]

[@JustIn-sr1xe]

The opposite of Raft mod, the Shack mod. that gearbox would be so useful btw.

[@himenaaa3565]

you just got a new subs!, how about made differrntial gears too? and for surival modes how about add some deconstruct bots?, it just giving you back about 80% for materials used in crafting? it just so funny playing with the crazy ideas from the comments xD

[@Vairoon]

nah nah, 1logic and 3 bearing

[@_miobrot_603]

Hmm, this can probably be its own mod. Maybe the "Gearbox Mod" or Belt Mod. Keep up the awesomeness!

[@Dr-Pixel]

That would be cool!

[@Scier357]

You could just make the battery generator a part with a tube output and a bearing connection, that would make şt a bit more vanilla

[@nickg6312]

you should combine the mass of both parts when calculating the force

[@ebbtheking8311]

yes, a dedicated video on the desert world would be fun

[@IsaacDaBoatSloth]

for the gearbox you can directly power the input rod thing

[@miry.9944]

these are very good parts of the mod. Are you going to do 2 parts?

[@Dr-Pixel]

YES!

[@ScottaHemi440]

2x2 bearing! actually an idea for the gearbox v2. automatric transmission ;) you knowhow the engine is usually ALL OR NOTHING!!! what if the transmission block transitioned the ALL of the engine into a stepped progression of power? preventing the wheelie of death issue?

[@Dr-Pixel]

Not a bad idea, but I don't think I want to dive deeper into the physics of this...

[@Luziferne]

@@Dr-Pixel Ask 00Fant for help with this, or at least look how he did his gearbox as inspiration. maybe set up modes for it as 1. gearbox for 90° angle of output, 2. Transmision to gear up/down with attached buttons/switch/logic or 3.as a differential that splits the output to 2(or more) sides

[@suddeneevee9441]

Science time: :) The power (Wattage) of an axle is it's torque multiplied by rotational speed. Or P = T×ω, where ω (omega) is rad/s. ( 2π radians= 1 rotation) So technically the 'dynamo' should measure speed and produce a torque opposite to that speed. Extra fun fact: This is an extension of straight line power: Power = Force × speed, or P = F×v.

[@Dr-Pixel]

I'm done with school now, I don't want to understand anything you are saying. Spin go brrr! it's that simple. period.

[@justinpatterson5291]

The "generator" could be used as regenerative braking, if it weren't for the fact electric motors come to almost a dead stop.

[@KaneyoriHK]

You know something, there could be an interesting game mode with the desert world where you start with a small, terrible scrap vehicle with a crappy generator, you manually build up power at the start in order to drive around in order to fight wandering bots and scrap leftover vehicles on this long abandoned planet struck with desertification. Somebody's gotta make that game mode when it's an available option.

[@Dr-Pixel]

Sounds nice, but a lot of work for me...

[@TanningCat]

oh wow! i didn't know you could make scrap mechanic mods in lua. I've been coding in lua for around 4 years now and i kind of want to try this out

[@dudkipl2802]

You should make a gearshift that has gears and can be shifted up or down using 2 buttons. the block should have a menu to set how many gears you want and if you want a reverse gear.

[@AI-Idiot]

yeah, it should also make the load heavier on the grater gears and lower in the lower gears, I made one like that with the modpack (a blueprint) you connect the imput to the device and the device to the engine, and now you have a gearboxed engine... but its janky, a little too big, and definately not realistic, so a mod would be best

I've been wanting to add a bunch of tiles to the survival mode, which seems to be easy to do, but can't really wrap my head around the rigid structure of survival map generation. I do like the road system and how it connects all the warehouses n such. but when you always start in a forest, the mechanic station is down the road to the right, the trader is behind the 1st packing station, etc. it gets old. Would love to see a truly random map where you don't know where anything is. Also a survival map size option would be sick.

[@Dr-Pixel]

All doable. But there is no way to change the size once generated.

[@Zipxarik]

You should eventually make a survival mod where the world is desert and you have cool parts so you can make cool desert vehicles like those ships the sandbenders use in Avatar The Last Airbender! I really like the raft mechanic mod and I think this would be cool to see

[@mikedev101]

How about a clutch? Like two bearing inputs like the gearbox, but also a logic/number(modpack math?) input to set the clutch power?

I used the battery generator in survival and I had this kind of reactor where a lvl 5 controller spinned 60 t2 concrete and now I have infinite energy

The gearbox would make a good differential by just adding the ability for a 3rd bearing

By any chance does the gearbox take into account the torque? Like if i stop the output from spinning will the input also stop?

make 2 bearings have the same rotation so that you rotate one and the other one rotates the same anywhere on the same creation

[@blackenderman9269]

make an UI for the gearbox where you have a slider to adjust the ratio

[@pascal2085]

Kinetische Energie berechnet sich aus der linearen Geschwindigkeit, die mit steigendem Radius immer größer wird. Das spielt aber eh keine Rolle. Der Generator muss eine Last auf das Lager packen (im Endeffekt muss er also Bremsen). Die Masse bestimmt nur, wie viel Energie im System vorhanden ist und hat damit keinen Einfluss, wie viel Energie der Generator dem System für die Batterien entnehmen kann. Ich habe das jetzt Mal auf Deutsch geschrieben, weil ich kb sowas auf Englisch zu schreiben :D

[@Dr-Pixel]

Yeah, I'm not too serious about the physics here anyway. With controllers you can always get infinite power.

[@redpug5042]

what if you made the gearbox use different bearing colors for different outputs, and then have an interface like a controller to determine interactions between the connected bearings

[@turrboenvy4612]

Isn't your gearbox actually a differential? If so it could allow two outputs so you could drive two wheels like a differential. It could even do the thing an open diff does where turning one wheel turns the other in the opposite direction, but you'd have to factor in one of the bearings' rotation being locked and sending 100% of the power to the other output bearing.

[@Dr-Pixel]

Honestly I don't know what I'm doing. I just understood rotating rotation.
