Prototype Gyro-Gear Design

33.0k IzzyIA  6.6 years ago

I have been doing a lot of experimenting with gears, trying to make an unmodded gyro-powered propeller. This is my first working protype, and a proof of concept. I plan to improve on it.

By the way, this reauires you to be in low physics. I am working on a better version to fix this.

Controls:

Throttle - Start Motor/ Turn Gears

VTOL Stick - Adjust Pitch on Propeller Blades (Doesn't really do anything since the craft is stationary, it is just used to show that this can be used to can spin a propeller)

PS I am open for suggestions if you think you know how to improve this.

    I found that it was possible to make a gyro vibrate along the ground.
