3D Printed Launch Roller Coaster

  • This 1:35 scale original model took over 6 months to design, print, and build and is the world's first functional 3D printed launch roller coaster. The launch, brakes, and station are all controlled via an Arduino with 5 micro servo motors and 1 DC motor.
    "Launch" is the first working model I've made after printing roller coaster related projects for just over two years now. This proof of concept taught me invaluable lessons in design feasibility, problem solving, and most importantly perseverance. This project was not easy, but it's impossible to say how much fun I had with it!
    I've already begun working on the next one where I hope to increase the realism, ride length, difficulty, and of course the inversion count.

    Would be cool to see this filmed in high speed (about 1050 fps?) then played back at 30 so that gravity appears to be acting realistically at full scale.

  • @ThereOughtaBe
    @ThereOughtaBe Před 3 lety +1

    Beautiful, impressive, such commitment.
    Also, the impression of being "too fast" is a great lesson in physics: You need enough kinetic energy (speed) to overcome the potential energy (altitude) of the highest point on the track. But potential energy scales linear in altitude while kinetic energy scales with the square of velocity. So, a rollercoaster with a fourth of the maximum altitude would still require half the speed.
    (Probably easier to follow the other way round: If you build the rollercoaster four times as large, you only need twice the speed on a track that is four times as long.)
