Experimentation with magnets...

[Hattivatti]

Yeah here is a V8 engine. Doesnt have much power yet, have to improve it a little

After finding out that magnets are endless power source (example: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/index.php?designId=50886) I started thinking how good they could actually be in a game with no real friction.

Well here's what I came up with:
http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/?designId=52070

Even though i tried to make it as symmetric as i could, eventually at time 3100 the speed gets too fast, the parts get jammed and the whole thing blows up . Compared to the car engine, they are like nothing.

You can add third circle too, but the part limit gets too close (takes more than 142 pieces) : http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/index.php?designId=52041
That red ball has been added to slow down the speed a little.

Please feel free to comment this invention

Here's a level I made using a magnet powered vehical http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/index.php?levelId=7617

And here's my solves http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/index.php?designId=52121

A green repeating catapult!

Could be very usefull for compleating some levels green or with multiple pieces. Its like a porered pult.

Here's a car using that spinny thing: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/?designId=53474

The advantage of using the wheels on top is that there isnt any friction or bumps with the ground

And here's the simplest car i can make: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/?designId=53480


This is my new favorite FC2 thread xD

a fast magmotor: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/?designId=55386

Edit 2: "flight" achieved with the fast magmotor design: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/?designId=55400
Really bouncy!

Edit 3: "win" achieved: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/game/Cont ... gnId=55401
Beat stacker!

With this design, I have figured out: More not equals faster, its timing and friction.

If you can create a design with almost frictionless walls and good timing, then it will be really fast...

I also found out when making this design that you should try to put the repelling magnets on both sides 1 unit (fantastic contraption does this to prevent fractional coordinates) away from the lagest stroke the wheel can get. This is for piston motors

Edit: If you developers did not design the game like the "unit" way I said, then a glitch is in the game because I notice pieces moving 1.5 to 2 pixels at a time.

I just done a 2 cylinder engine that goes really fast. http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/?designId=55513

The car engine like magmotor needs a lot of work. I have found that adding 2 more magnets in the middle further increase the speed of the motor.

Edit: even better. http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/?designId=55538
I think the concept behind that motor cannot be improved further. All that needs is the tweaking of measurements. More cylinders = More torque for that design. 2 cylinders just not powerful enough.

Edit 2: No, ignore the above edit. that is wrong. only the middle 2 more magnets are needed to make it faster. the extra magnets slow it down.

4 cylinder engine. 150 pieces. will turn slower due to lag...

Car magmotor propulsion simply sucks: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/?designId=56007
Try it! the magnet wheel works better at that.

Ok here's my newest invention: the atomic bomb (actually i found this out a week ago but anyways) :

a small example: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/index.php?designId=52448

So basically it's just a few positive magnets around the ball put together with wooden sticks. Then some negative ones added near. And that's what happens
In that example the speed is so fast for the blue ball that it goes right through that "bully" and goes inside it.

Heres another solve: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/index.php?designId=52430


Lots of power:.. http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/index.php?designId=53851

Also heres a small solve using the "magnetic circle" i posted about last time: http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/index.php?designId=52383
I didn't balance it, that's why it gets jammed after the victory.

It shoots 2 more times afterwards...
