Factorio Smart Trains (No mods)
zhlédnutí 21KPřed 8 měsíci
'Logistic Train Network' (LTN) is a very popular mod for Factorio that lets your trains behave more intelligently. I've never used it because I had always thought that you could accomplish anything you wanted with the circuit mechanics included in the base game. All over reddit and discord I had seen people mentioning a desire to make 'Vanilla LTN', followed by other users telling them it was n...
Drone Training
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed rokem
I built a drone a couple weeks ago, but have been cautious to seriously practice with it in case I crash it. So I created an exact simulation of it in the simulator 'Liftoff' and have been practicing with it for two days as of recording this video.
PM-25MV Flood Coolant Upgrade
zhlédnutí 520Před rokem
Just a small project I've been wanting to do. This will allow me to take more aggressive cuts while preserving the life of my endmills. The tubing is 3/8 inch The coolant nozzle is the 1/4 inch size that sells on amazon for $10 The fittings are a 1/4 female to 3/8 male adapter and a 3/8 female to barbed adapter The pump is a 30W 550 GPH aquarium pump
Garry's Mod PID Tuned + Target Leading Missile
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed rokem
Just a small little project I've been working on since I've been busy with school lately. PID control and tuning is a handy thing to know about in many engineering fields, so I'm happy to have a chance to use it somewhere. If you want the E2 code, just ask. The song is not mine, nor do I profit from it's use here.
Schlieren Imaging Demo
zhlédnutí 389Před rokem
This is an experiment I've been wanting to do for a few years now, and I finally got around to doing it! This is my first attempt at doing schlieren imaging, so my setup is a bit crude. It vibrates a lot and has a double image, but I'm still very satisfied with the results.
DIY Tool Height Gauge
zhlédnutí 351Před rokem
Tool height gauges are used to measure the length of tools in machining operations. They usually atleast $100. I figured I could turn a dial indicator into one with a 3D printed base.
Garry's Mod Spacecraft Thruster Controller E2
zhlédnutí 270Před rokem
This E2 code I wrote intelligently controls all the thrusters on a spacecraft in order to allow for rotations & translations, as well as angular and lateral stabilization.
Garry's Mod Moment Control Gyros
zhlédnutí 347Před rokem
This is a simple experiment I did to see if gyroscopes work properly in Garry's Mod. Moment control gyros are frequently used in spacecraft to control orientation without needing fire any kind of thrusters. They rely on gyroscopic precession to generate torques perpendicular to the axis of gyro rotation. This one uses one large reaction wheel to control yaw, and two gyros to control pitch & roll.
Milling My First Aluminium Part!
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 2 lety
My friend's 3D printer used a 3D printed belt block for the bed movement, but the heat from the bed would melt it. I'm not sure how the manufacturer could have designed something so poorly, but he asked me to make him an aluminium version of the block. I've been a little hesitant to put metal on my machines for fear of breaking something, but I recently got a Nomad 3 CNC and figured I may as we...
DIY Motor Speed Controller (And More!)
zhlédnutí 2KPřed 2 lety
This has been something I've wanted to build for a while now! If my next motor seems to be powerful enough to propel an RC plane, I'll shrink this circuit down onto a custom PCB.
My 1.5KJ Home-Built Gauss Rifle!
zhlédnutí 633KPřed 2 lety
I've finally finished my gauss rifle! This is about four months in the making. I may improve on it in the future, or build an entirely new and better one! But I want to take a break from coil guns for a while. Disclaimer: I'd consider myself to be a pacifist, and don't intend to use this on any person or animal. This project has merely acted as an outlet for my interest in electronics and elect...

Nice work! Impressive! Now on to a Turret right!? :)
We goin to Chernobyl with this one🔥🔥🔥🔥
You seem to have implemented the feature that made me quit the game when I failed to do it. We didn't have the station count train system, but I managed to use the train logic on how it choose train stations, to implement a dynamic outpost system, then the dev changed how train choose stations and broke my smart station system. Glad to see some kind of smart station is now possible again. Though you didn't show if you had dynamic outpost stations, so I go out drop a mining outpost and my core base know to start using it automatically, when it runs out the station disable it self and the trains start picking other outpost mining stations. So all I have to do is run around making outpost without changing anything. Having played Early Access, I'm unfortunately to worn out building the starter base over and over, to even get to the train stage. 2000+ hours does not make starting over fun anymore.
This is perhaps the best magnetic core Gauss rifle on CZcams that I have seen too date (July 4, 2024)
Even better, in my opinion, than the commercial product at czcams.com/video/EwHRjgVWFno/video.htmlsi=zG6WFziZNaanAkYe that was reviewed a year ago. So, a year or so newer (and with the March of technology you would think better) than yours.
Do you sell them?
change your magnet geometry to "PUSH" the medium into a twisting vortex
Maybe take the iron powder and put a slight food oil coating on it, then heat it in the oven to result in a carbon coating.
So only one train is going at a time?
No? The depot cycles through all the parked trains one after another and dispatches any that have somewhere to be.
I found that there wasn't much difference between a back iron and Halbach array. The back iron very nearly doubles the effective magnet height. For relatively short magnets that does almost the same as a Halbach array. For taller arrangements, the Halbach array may win (I didn't check). But the back iron has to touch the magnets. The main advantage of back iron is that the arrangement tends to more or less self assemble whereas Halbach arrays disassemble.
Bloody brilliant!!
16 times the detail
Nice coil gun...
Do you have a tutorial anywhere on how to make this?
Nice methodology for the most part, but testing 2 magnets in standard vs 3 magnets in halbach doesn't really compare the configurations honestly imo.
That's just the image. The actual readings came from magnets embedded in an actual array. Also the halbach pole is sort of composed of one and two half-magnets.
Arrays of capacitor groups, charging while one discharged will increase your rate of fire.
Consider developing rounds that work like mini tazors...
We'll need these to defend against the fucking robot army crap they have been cooking up.
Arc thrower
NERD!
Circuits are too difficult to maintain. Give me a text box to code in, and a console output!
You need a vector pajama(vector of despicable me) "I am invincible."😂😂😂
Do you have a blueprint you can share?
suggestions to improve your parts number one warm your mold before casting, warm part a and part b separately you can use a microwave for this and an infrared thermometer remember the hotter it is the faster it will set. vacuum purge warm resin part a and B check temperature warm again if needed then mix your iron powder with part a before you mix the two parts together ideally you shouldn't need to use a solvent with urethane, viscosity can be adjusted with temperature, when mixing be carful not to get air in the resin, also when pouring your part slowly drizzle the resin down the side of the mold, the idea is to keep one stream of material flowing into the mold try not to stop and start again it needs to be poured all in one go.the part should be poured quickly so that the mold doesnt lose too much heat. then place the poured mold back in the oven for an hour (or longer) take out and demold the part and then reduce heat and place part back in the oven to keep warm overnight to cure. you will need to experiment with temperatures and times as i have only used commercially available urethane and every type has different time and temperatures, oh yeh also using multiple different size of iron particulate will improve density. urethane will shrink slightly so be sure to allow for this. using this technique i have made parts stronger than steel and with zero air bubbles and even distribution of metallic powder oh yes making the molds out of a more flexable urethane works really well
nailed it
can I get a Blueprints of that
Curious to see how your 2.0 version would look with your new improvements. Would also be excited to see a "handgun" type body style with some upcoming/current tech like mlcc capacitors and maybe power sources such as Li-S batteries and solid/semi-solid state batteries. Would be interested in commissioning you for a mock-up/design for a pistol or revolver-style gun that would fit a Bloodborne/dark fantasy aesthetic but in modern times.
what the hek haha. i wasnt expecting it to just turn away xD
Why such a long projectile?
Finally the perfect rifle for home defense
the response should have been "that's what she said"
"Knock, Knock! United States DOD is calling!"
imagine robbing someones house and the owner walks downstairs with a fucking rail gun.
OK, how much to build one for me? Pretty please?
will you share blueprint?
man...u seriously need a gf 😂
Great vid but I have a question does the location of the capacitors matter? Or could they be mounted on say a backpack frame then you could increase their size or am I just dreaming🫡
I am so curious how you debug your logics? It's ok for people debug in code level, but it must be really hard to debug in within those facotrio logic items
This is amazing.
I like your funny words science man
Add piccitany rails for optics and sell it to the royal army
Would you be willing to provide save file? I want to learn the logic behind it!!!
"dont let it overcharge" "-what are you mean dont overch-"
Hello I would be interested in the mass and initial velocity of the projectile. How can this be anywhere near as effective as a crossbow or crossbow pistol? Also, I would watch an outdoor shooting range with it from 10, 15, 20 meters away. and what damage it does to multiple targets. The weapons I make deal this damage to targets: czcams.com/video/qGar8wid0Hs/video.html&ab_channel=Lac%C3%A1s czcams.com/video/hS7l04vr9_Q/video.html&ab_channel=Lac%C3%A1s The air rifle, the bows and the katana are not custom made, but the other weapons are. Sincerely, Lacás from Hungary
Funny how you used halo music, considering it looks like the rifle from starship troopers. Still cool.
I'd very like to know how to do the first version was setup, I'm trying to design one myself but I've ran into some problems and my circuit knowledge isn't that great thanks for the video
"The people of gm_construct are going crazy that President Obama was constantly spawning explosive barrels! And then on top of that, he spawned hunter choppers and bouncy balls, you can't do it, it's lagging the server!"
Wow this is super impressive! Coil guns are so cool.
4:37 I think it is because of the weight by Dividing the Weight you are reducing Its real power in % example ferrite 25g vs the one you created 12.8g is -50% all this regardless of the perfect shape the material has is what does the magic
Fallout gunnnnn
That is awesome my friend. I love it!
Stabilize the top current and dont let it break, a portal of heat distortion should form, show us that
How effective is this on live animals ?
