Andrew, could you do a Space tether to fling ships to space? Bonus Challenge: Send a ship from earth to mars using only the tether as acceleration

[@BBDoesTheThing]

Joaco Pla yesssss!

[@eod696]

I think planet gravity would put a real damper on that, but going from earth orbit to orbit the moon or mars might work.

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Haha interesting idea! But what would decelerate the ship once it gets to Mars?

very epic video the SE physics engine definitely does not like simulating this kind of artificial gravity at high speed

[@seaweedbeard]

Andrew, Remember to turn off dampeners when you press "x" (Jetpack)

[@prometheus8010]

10:23 put a couple of ions pushing you down

[@xmc3060]

The best way to achieve this on a ring station is to use gravity generators at intervals to mimic the effect, and balance the width, depth and height between each so they combine well at extremities.

[@innsj6369]

I remember doing some testing a long time ago on this. If you place the spherical gravity generator at the centre of the wheel and set it to -0.05g (minimum needed to walk) you can make the way your player faces consistent. The downside is that this doesn't work with bigger wheel sizes as the range of the spherical gravitity generator is limited.

[@xmc3060]

Ahh thanks, I didn't realise you could use spherical and do NEGATIVE G. I was just placing normal grav gens on the outer part of the ring at intervals.

[@wunderwaffle3602]

Nice a second part! to be honest ur my favorite SE KZbinr.

[@mr.e8192]

That means you could technically make a Halo Ring right? That would be an amazing feat of engineering..... possible space buster?

[@Cyberwar101]

He should try for an O'Neil cylinder first: less game melting that way

[@levadi6501]

the acceleration is slower becouse the mass increases with the length of the thing

[@koalaspruce]

I appreciate the gravity generator trick to turn off mag boots. The vehicle test is great.

[@robinwang6399]

For rotors to turn collectively, turn off share inertia tenser.

[@bobmcob1132]

i think the fazing is to do with the acceleration rather than the speed, because it never happened when you where accelerating quickly, but not when you where slowly accelerating.

[@christopherg2347]

The vehicle is basically suffering from Aquaplaning/a train going down a hill. In both cases if you drive too fast, you loose connection and your vehicle is uncontrolable. Try limiting the speed of the vehicle down. That is how we deal with those effects in real life.

[@tsbggaming5442]

You saw my comment about the 0.1 Grav. I see. Thanks for including it! Also, It can only go down to 0.1 before the boots disable.

[@hoischreck9266]

Love your videos man. Keep it up👍

[@nakuroyuki]

You can make a mini game with the large wheel. Place a lot of floating cubes or any objects and let them fly around the wheel, then try to dodge the incoming objects without dying

[@mitchhulsebos4970]

if you press crtl+z and aim at an grid than you will folow that speed.same works for ships

[@KasinoSwift]

You should try and see how fast you can make some fly or launch with gravity gens, grids and floating objects

[@dekar820]

Awesome stuff! I’m wondering what would happen if you were to put a seat, would you still "phase through" or not? Thank you for your hard work and stay safe. ✌️

[@Walroose64]

Idea: If you were to mine all the ore on earth, what's the biggest structure you could possibly build? Obviously mining the entire earth wouldn't be feasible. But what if you mined the entire mini-earth, and then scaled up the amount of ore you got in accordance to the scale of mini-earth to normal earth? And then of course, after building the structure, scale that up as well to get an approximate answer. (This way you also wouldn't have to deal with actually making a massive structure with all that ore, you can just do the calculations to see how big it would be.) Then maybe you can also try adding thrusters and life support and refineries/assemblers and all that stuff to make it actually livable. Then you would have a (theoretically) largest ship you could possibly create with all the materials you can get from (mini) earth. Then maybe do the calculations to determine the biggest ship you can make with real earth, without needing to worry about dealing with the limits of Space Engineers. So then you would have the theoretically largest structure you can make, and theoretically largest spaceship you can make that you could actually live in. (it would need hydrogen thrusters since there is no platinum on earth) It might be a little ambitious but I think it would be fascinating!

[@puddingofdoom]

Build a rover? Ha. Build a _pyramid_ in artificial gravity.

[@BBDoesTheThing]

Pudding of Doom *cries silently*

[@sunif7138]

Have you considered trying out thrust gravity? could be less glitchy.

[@NichtInteressant1701]

try spinning a spaceship and releasing it at the right moment to send it streight to mars/alien/frostbite and makejump-drives obsolete

[@janne_kekalainen]

21:00 That's some crazy acceleration from 0 to 1254m/s (4514km/h, 2805 mph) instantly.

[@leonudl]

It actually does work, just not the way you expected! The game doesn't see the blocks below you as a floor wich makes you not get oriented with it if you know what I mean

[@joshuabowles5819]

Yes I know, very late to the party. Do you think you can make a catapult with the gyro wheel? For instance, connect the "walking area" to the arm with a merge block and have a button to turn off the merge block?

[@3cho787]

Can you make a weapon using the gyro spinning thing? Maybe have a ship with it in the middle of it and a projector block so you can spawn in the projectile before the "hammer" comes around.

[@dELTA13579111315]

This made me want to see what would happen if you had basically this, but instead of using the rotors or gyroscopes to get the rotation you used the warpdrive mod and added a couple of those to get it up to speed

[@Littledude3722]

I'm very curious, is it possible to make a functioning skyhook? If you could get a skyhook to pick up ships in atmo then launch them into space, it would be a real money saver.

[@ltcshow6175]

Oooo also maybe put a block between each rotor.

[@zoidman94_55]

I think the vehicle was acting weird because it was too light. Gotta get some heckin chonk on them wheels P.S. Super gyro ring has inspired a kinetic "Fling" cannon. No firing, no weapons, just a high speed catapult

[@theorangetvery90days]

Try to make a base out of this as a series and do everything on it like building mining ships off of it to do things you can use it how ever u want

[@abomb4951]

Hey Andrew. Try putting a thruster pointing down on the rover. Even though there isnt "gravity" it will create friction

[@weegepeege222]

Can you post this on the workshop?

[@hugmonger]

Alright so now with that my question is, can you build a catapault to Mars. Like we just saw that station launch you at 1000m/s or what every it was, so theoretically it should be possible.

[@klikkolee]

centrifugal force isn't a wrong name for centripetal force. It's a force-like mathematical term that comes into existence when you try to apply Newton's laws to a reference frame where they're not applicable. Although its magnitude is the same as the centripetal force, it has the opposite direction. It also isn't the only pseudoforce that appears when you try to apply Newton's laws to a rotating reference frame: the Coriolis force (likely because it is needed to describe the Coriolis effect from this invalid reference frame), which pushes you to the side when moving. This is also the force needed to describe your long/short hops in different directions (from the invalid reference frame). the Euler force, which pushes you upspin/downspin when the rotation accelerates or decelerates. When you view the system from a valid ("inertial") reference frame, the normal force (which is only a purely-centripetal force on parts of the ring where a line to the point on the ring is perpendicular to the ring) and the friction force (which is only a purely-centripetal force if you are falling beside a vertical cliff while rubbing against it) between the ring and the player are the only force-like terms (and in this case real forces) needed to explain the system.

[@luckylmj]

I think I know why the car wasn't driving properly. Space Engineers is probably coded to try to slow down the car when it's moving, if you aren't actively driving it. The wheel makes the car move, though. The game probably got confused on how it was supposed to slow you down when it was constantly being pushed

[@leviw.martell5262]

Could you possibly test if the hand Welder can be used to provide thrust in space if you're out of Hydrogen?

[@quantum5407]

I don’t think it’s friction I think when you turn you slow down so the rover is no longer in sync with the rotation of the station causing the station to accelerate underneath the rover giving the friction less feeling

[@AndrewmanGaming]

Ooo good point! That could be it!

[@spacemanspiff7283]

Was he using a speed mod or can you actually get going that fast with this in vanilla SE? If this is completely vanilla, then could you fling a ship towards someplace with this making Jump drives not necessary in interplanetary travel?

[@wunderwaffle3602]

As well as in that case it is not known as gravity, it is known as gees which is the measurement of gravity like forces, or just the force of gravity.

[@yootscute4769]

By making a ship go really fast, can you make it have gravity "The Expanse" style?

[@Cyberwar101]

Just going fast doesnt make gravity. The ship has to be accelerating, like in the expanse

[@yootscute4769]

@@Cyberwar101 Yeah, I could have worded it better. "Accelerating fast" is what I was trying to say.

[@Phoenix-wp5sw]

What about Cutting a piece of a planet off and flying it away, kind of like what was done in Avengers Age of Ultron?

[@Shumbalion]

Station - rotor off - thruster on - off centre mass.. leave 1000m/s in the dust for many many 1000’s

[@jakekarreofficial]

Sit in a seat then have your ship 'moving' then it could set jetpack to 'auto-dampener'

[@larrysal8866]

Irl you would also have air which is also affected by the force. When u sre in a vaccum and the thing spins around, you wouldn't feel any force

[@NeoTheSatisfactory]

If you gave the vehicle a channel or rail for it to fit within, it would probably work normally

[@robinwang6399]

Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in the rotating frame of reference.

[@ltcshow6175]

You kept on going away from the grav gen which was driving me nutz. You should have kept on walking with the mag boots off out and far away from the gravity generator which only helps so much to see if the boots still stayed off and because they you could really test it out. Now to continue to the rest of the video hopefully you try the same thing except get out of the range of the grav gen.

[@ltcshow6175]

So much more left to test with this for sure.

[@jaybird5770]

I'm curious how this behaves without the speed mod, and if you can use this for yeeting ships at 1000m/s

[@hugmonger]

Oh he is using a mod? That sucks.... I was hoping this was a base game thing that would let you break the speed limit

[@MCLooyverse]

@@hugmonger I'm pretty sure you can sit on a ton of pistons, or on a bunch of rotors, and break the speed limit in vanilla.

Actually the person who say that centrifugal force doesn't exist and centripetal does, he is WRONG! And the reason is simple, Both forces must be present to exist at the same time, if you eliminate any of those two forces you eliminate the other one existance as well. So, either both must be present or neither on will exist. So, physics is strange to understand but its actually easy hehehe :D For those who still doesn't understand clearly, lets say we have holding a string with some mass on the other end and rotating it, one force pulling the mass towards the center (centripetal) must be the same as the force pulling that mass out from the center (centrifugal), If you change one value (lets say lower the centripetal one) the other one lowers the same value as well, So if you set one to be 0, the other one will also be 0 and will cancel each other, it wont exist at that moment, so either bot exist or, if there's no anchor point to provide the force neither one exist.. And yes, you will say that the first force witch will starting to exist is the Centripetal, but keep in mind that the Centrifugal is having a same value, so my conclusion is that Both exist at the same time or neither one exists at all :D So, to make those forces be existable you must allow certain conditions to fulfill, you must have an 1. Anchor point, 2. String, 3. Mass and 4. Tangential force. So all those requirement must be fulfill otherwise you will haven't those forces existed. If you eliminate Tangential force, you will leave only floating free (in vacuum) in gravity well you will have those 2 forces present but they become the 3rd Newtons law then. So for practice it, try to eliminate one of the above conditions and make experiment, you will see what will happen :D Happy thinking :D btw, nice episode, keep up the good work Andrew :D **EDIT** You need to provide anchor point to that system to coexist otherwise it's not meet the requirements. That's the reason why isn't working when you turn off the mag boots :D You need to be a part of the system 1st to be able to keep velocity after you leave those conditions. So, when you connect again you are again the part of system and you can do it again. And that the reason why they didn't build this system in reality, we will be forced to have mag boots to be able to be a part of that system, otherwise we will be finish floating around :D
