I Built An Orbital RAIL CANNON And It WORKS!

[@theGreatSlicedCheese]

Guy on the ground: "I see the target" Yzuei: "Not anymore" *vaporizes it with an orbital railgun*

[@crayder1100]

You should've used the small blaster as the reticle, directly behind the camera. This would make it so the offset between the reticle and projectile would only be the distance between them, 2 blocks. This would be the most accurate you could make the reticle be. Then no matter how far or where you're aiming you always just aim two blocks over. As long as the reticle is not behind the camera you have a whole bunch of trigonometry to consider, with variable distance being a huge factor.

10:57 This weapon system was seriously considered for development at one point. They called it “Rods from God” and it was intended to fire 20’ long 1’ tungsten rods from orbit at underground installations. Basically, 12 TONS of hyper dense tungsten impacting the ground at Mach 10. The kinetic energy from such an impact would have been equivalent to a nuclear bomb, but without the radiation and fallout. Probably the only reason it was never actually built is because getting the rods up into orbit would have been insanely expensive due to their weight.

[@theonewithoutpurpose]

not to mention the fact that most of the US's tungsten is imported from China. There is ofc the alternative of depleted uranium, but then that opens a whole other can of worms, and completely eliminates that whole "no fallout" thing

[@craftamine9147]

Was about to say the same thing! Have you watched the Varitasium video on that?

[@calibadgerdude6082]

@ actually, no. Haven’t seen that one. I know about it from Popular Mechanics back in the day and did a quick google review before I posted anything here just to refresh my memory. XD I’ll have to look that up, I like their content more often than not.

[@mikestrebel5316]

😮

[@DarthAwesome117]

Yup. The sheer cost combined with the fact that weapons that powerful aren't particularly useful anyways leaves that particular idea in limbo.

[@Slognye]

please try it in space , and by that i mean being above a planet in the space bound map and then shoot down on it

[@zyxelroble320]

The orbital rail cannon is also a reference from "Call of Duty: Ghost".

[@DrippingWithWit]

@@herbertthesherrifandsometo4994 yes, rail guns are real. There was also a military/nasa idea that you could drop tungsten rods from space. these rods would speed up to ten times the speed of sound before hitting their target. the project never came to fruition...that we know of, but it was called project thor or rods from god.

1:45 I don't care if the devs renamed it, it's a magnet.

[@xXOneHeartOneLoveXx]

These programmelable missiles are awesome. I got an idea for a unique one. The Kraken torpedo. A torpedo that has an anchor block on end. It slows right before impact, then on contact an interted giro stabiliser turns on and thust gets wacked into reverse and it pulls the ship underwater.

[@furnsauce]

If you place any block as glass directly infront of the camera you can paint on a central retical.

[@panni8442]

I wonder if its possible to attach the camera to a piston and make it extend on front of the projectile, positioning the camera perfectly in the middle. Then make a logic sequence that, upon pressing a button, quickly retracts the pistons, enables the magnets and releases the projectile. It would make the aiming way easier, wouldnt it?

[@Frost-ws7uk]

You could use pistons and a camera block to adjust your site in front of the Canon and then detachable blocks to turn them into scrap once it's fired. So the scrap is out of the way

[@theonewithoutpurpose]

its called "Rod from God" or "project thore" it was a military idea but newer got Bild because of being impractical

[@tuberbeau7138]

not IMPRACTICAL- too expensive. Just think about that for a moment. If we could optimize it (price wise) so that the tactical advantage outweighed the price, then it would def get made

[@BmwM4csl1]

"Orbital Rail Cannon" = coolest weapon name ever

[@harveybeales1516]

Hey yzuei I saw how you tried to stabilise the rod I thought id share how I would of Instead of using a lot of gyros I would set a helicopter engine linked to a OR gate on the release input and make the heli engine at 10 speed this keeps the missile/rod VERY stable

[@jman9562]

I love your brain, I did the same thing as yzuei for a while

[@Mazapine]

They don't use power cores either, so no extra explosion

[@jman9562]

@@Mazapine dope

[@MinimooseT]

Maybe so aiming is more accurate, put a camera block on the end of the projectile, with a detachable block. I don’t know if it would still show the camera even if it’s disconnected. You know prolly. But maybe something to help the aiming

[@darkstar_sierra1588]

No once the creation gets disconnected so does the camera the only way around that is by putting a OR gate on the projectile and have it linked to the camera with a toggle but one serious problem about that is once you detach with that method you cannot exit the camera at all until you respawn to delete the camera (That's if the camera and OR gate survives the impact).

You should have a 2v2 battle where one of you builds a orbital cannon with a crazy max power core but it can't go over 20 kmh while the other person has a car that can only go 100 kmh with one missile and then just see who can last the longest in the car.

[@justadude7455]

I kinda think aiming servos would have been worth it. Rotation could probably be handled with a compass or maybe gyro stabilizer. Also I wonder if you could add pistons _as well_ for more force? Or how much benefit you'd get from just more magnets?

[@MOREPLANE]

My fellow hell diver’s community is salivating right now

[@mikehorrocks2909]

Great job there, Yzuei! Are you going to show it to Scrapman? You know he will love it!🤪

[@Skylar_minecraft]

Yzuei, have you heard of "rods from god"? it is basically a satalite dropping super heavy tungstan rods, that have soo much kinetic energy they explode with simular damage to a ground penetrating nuclear bomb, minus the fallout. The start of the video reminded me of them, and, before watching this video, i think that is what you are most likely building. At least kind of, bc, well, the magnets shooting them.

[@eviljesus84]

Ok, so... "satellite", "tungsten" (or 'wolfram' if you prefer), and "similar". Furthermore, the rods didn't explode (because they had no explosives), they just penetrated through sheer mass and momentum, and their kinetic energy was comparable to a bunker buster bomb - nowhere NEAR nuclear. Which is basically why the program never happened, because with an efficiency comparable to conventional munitions, getting the tungsten rods into space was just too expensive.

[@dadmitri4259]

I love the coin flip between no damage and absolute annihilation

[@theofficialarnl7018]

Would love to see if it’s possible to make a tv missile with the aiming servos with fins on them and the rc glitch

[@Epicdoge1091]

Rc glitch doesn't work with aiming servos.

[@theofficialarnl7018]

@ could you not have the aiming serves on the original creation and have it send outputs to the missile?

[@mariemercredi1872]

Yuezi you should probably try a beach buggy racing race and you can use any customization you see fit. There are 3 rounds one point per round and whoever gets the most points from the three rounds win.plz like it so yuezi can try it!

I hope devs add subgrid respawner mod of sorts, like a printer that can respawn attached pieces like custom rockets on demand

[@TheGreatCyberwolf]

That would be amazing, make it so that it has a single 1x1 point on the front and everything connected to that point gets marked for replication. The control binding makes it detach the build then begin fabricating a new one

[@jacksmidnightbuilds]

Don't think the zerodrag works if you have the discard block underneath... it needs to be blocking the "airflow" in the Builder. So to make it work, the whole build would need to be flipped to it's side, or just the railgun. Meaning it an be an even more devastating weapon :P

DLC's are not Cross Platform because Steam and Xbox are two different companies which use different store IP's so if you want the DLC's on Xbox you have to buy them again on Xbox and your account isn't Cross Platform either unless you can figure a way to transfer your builds over to Xbox via PC. Bewarned if you have any builds that are over the 700 complexity limit you will not be able to spawn them in since Xbox does not have mod support for TM so for example if you used the Complexity mod on PC (Steam) and you transfer it over to Xbox it won't allow you to spawn it because it will be "Too Complex!".
