At 9:20 this is a irl phenomenon called ‘hunting oscillation’. And in reference with your case. The flanges of the brake drums are hitting the track at higher speeds making the ride quality seem more unstable. The best way to eliminate this is to change the wheel profile of the brake drum to be more conical in nature while tuning the flange-track gap on your set. At high speeds the hunting oscillations become too much for the train and the constant bouncing of the flanges causes sufficient friction in balance with the torque of the motor which gives you this top speed of 26mph. There are some cases where hunting oscillation can derail the train as the repeated bouncing can simply throw your wheels of the track. This also happens with regular trains passenger, freight, tankers, etc. Upvote to get @Joel Creates to see this to possibly help his design :) More information can be found here (there are 2 useful gifs at the start to demonstrate the effect): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting_oscillation

the back-and forth bouncing at higher speeds is caused by the angle of the train wheels. The angle is necessary to go around corners properly, but the greater the angle, the more it tends to oscillate at higher speeds. A flatter wheel is better at higher speeds, but can't turn as sharp of a corner.

[@AdamMclardy]

Wow the more you know!!

And on top of the train wheels there is also variables like how the track was laid If using jointed rails that essentially butt up together and then bolted, that is commonly not perfectly straight so there will be slight lateral motion transferred to anything running on the tracks

[@trainzguy2472]

It's called hunting oscillation. On full-size trains it typically occurs at around 55-65 mph and can be exacerbated by the use of jointed rail.

This is actually a pretty simple project. It's mostly structural stuff, the mechanics are as simple as a scooter motor and chain drive to one of the axles, and then a tilt hinge for the non-powered axle so that it won't derail if the track twists. As for wiring, it's just a battery, a motor, an off-the-shelf motor controller and an off-the-shelf servo-tester.

[@SpaceSquid420]

The wobble is a classic railroad problem. Go look at how regular rail wheelsets are built the solution to your problem is specifically in the tapper on the wheel. The geometry of the wheel helps prevent derailing and controls the speed wobble.

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

I don't know much about trains/railroads, but I do know rollercoasters. My guess is that the wobble problem stems from the articulating nature of the wheels (so it can go around corners). Am I off? Close enough?

[@Fattts]

@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 it’s actually to do with the thermal expansion and contraction of the track, and the placement of the ties, and the coarseness of the gravel bed the ties are embedded in.

[@ekeredtv]

Speed wobble can get real nasty when bombing a hill on a skateboard. I nearly learned this one the hard way. 😬

[@williamhuang8309]

@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 What's most likely happening here is hunting oscillation. Since in a curve, the turning radii of the inner and outer tracks are different, the distance the wheels travel is different. But since the wheels are on the same axle, this would be a problem. Therefore, engineers made the profile of the wheel not flat, but rather with a taper. This meant that the train shifting to the side would account for the difference in radius. This also had the added benefit of stabilising the train since the flanges help keep it centred. However, it seems like the brake drums don't have tapers, so the self-correcting effect is not present. The rails could also be slightly wobbly, and in the video they are quite wobbly. Also the minecart doesn't have suspension which means all the bumps are transmitted into the box... From my observations, it also seems like the flanges on the brake drums are tiny, which likely makes it easier for the train to derail. Therefore welding a ring onto the drum to increase the flange would help reduce the number of derailments. The minecart only has 2 axles, so it is functionally similar to a singular bogie. Normal trains tend to have two bogies supporting a long carriage. However, it is quite rare to have steerable bogies- vast majority of trains have the axles fixed to the bogie (albeit with some suspension)

that little "what if" segment starting off the conclusion... I think it really encapsulates the melancholy of Minecraft, and the fact you kept going and had this experience actually mirrors how building your first track in game can really make you feel like you're finally mastering this world, finally *living* in it instead of just surviving - and from the sounds of how this project went, I would say you went through those very same experiences in the real world. I'm glad this went so well for you. I hope you keep living life how you want to. Good luck, and remember to keep doing you. Thank you.
