Share this with your friends! Help everyone learn about these awesome boosters! These minecart boosters boost Minecarts for thousands of blocks, at maximum speed, and are exceedingly stable.
I know that there are other videos which stack minecarts to use as boosters. Comparing my method with others I have seen, this is by far the most stable and predictable.
Tip: When it stops after 1000 blocks, get out and nudge it then it will go for another 1000 blocks.
Alternate Tip: You can break the 2nd Minecart about 20-60 seconds after you start, then the remaining minecart will go for upwards of 30 minutes (15,000 blocks). (Not fully tested but my cart has been going for a half hour).
Explanation: The reason that the minecarts keep going is because they are stuck exactly within each other, and boost each other always increasing the momentum. Once the momentum hits a certain cap, the minecarts stop dead in their tracks. If you break one of the minecarts after it has almost reached the momentum cap, then the minecart will continue with a massive amount of momentum but the momentum will decrease VERY slowly. This causes it to go for 30 minutes or more without stopping.
Note: Using more than 2 minecarts has no benefit. It only decreases stability.
Does it work in SMP? -The short answer is yes. But you can't let two minecarts run together very long without a person in them because they will separate. They may seperate during laggy conditions. I recommend breaking one of them after 30 seconds.
Spin boosters may be a better choice for multiplayer (depending on the situation). http://youtu.be/bBiHnP0R6M0

i set it up like you did but when I jump in the carts the detector doesnt change the tracks so i just keep going around in a circle then when i jump out the detector changes. How can i fix it so it actually launches me out of the circle

@MrMcDynasty Switch the circle to the other side.

@Eyoxiz Thanks man I really appreciate you replying back! Just one more question, on multiplayer i made this and it works and all but sometimes the carts split before we get to the top so is there any way to counteract that so they stay together somehow?

@MrMcDynasty Yeah on multiplayer there is not really a way to fix that, so I would suggest using a spin booster (look at my channel for a tutorial).
