This is a try to use water as rocket fuel.
it went very well so ill do more with this
for phunners: the circles have +inf friction and about 10000 rpm
there are like 500 water particles in this scene

  • you should also make your ship skinnier and longer, this might make it more stable in flight

    also try giving it a little launch pad, give it two rectangles on both sides so it will be stable at first in lift off

    other then those things listed, there is not much your rocketship needs to inprove on since it is already quite amazing

  • thx for ur interrest in this and ive made some of the ideas u have already because this is realy old version

    but since phun beta 5 is out water is stil easy to compress and its 2x more lag than in 4.22

    so i gave up on storing the water in the rocket

    ive built a water thruster with an thyme water spawner but didnt spent much time on it

  • that is genius!!

    you can have a valve to control the water flow and use it to also keep the rocket stable by using two valves on ea/ side of the rocket.

  • the problem with water is that water gets compressed by high speed even it isnt accelerated anymore

    so its hard to control the water flow

  • You should add a second hinge to both of the circles that propel the water. The second hinge on the right and left should be set to spin faster than the first hinges on the. Make the left hinge be controlled by the right arrow key (forwards), and the right hinge with the left arrow key (backwards). That way, if you press the right key, the left circle will speed up, causing the left side velocity to increase more than the right side, causing it to turn right, and vice versa for the left key.

  • thats good idea thank u i didnt thought of that ^^

    im also thinkink of making a second high speed wheel to catch the already fired waterdrop and fire them once more so i have a double boost ..if this works than it will reduce the needed fuel greatly

see all

  • pretty awesome. I'll give it a try.

  • it's a shame that water is too difficult to control as a rocket fuel, in advance rockets such as your own...

    perhaps you should make a fuel injection system by connecting a few springs to a curved or rectangular object. you could also make a couple of improvised gears to push down the water. there should be a effect on the rocket's proformance.

    i wouldn't recommend using BlankBox's idea on a second hinge, since your fuel supply is used up very fast

  • try making a station with a pump to presureize it and mod till its good

  • i think you meant function buttons
