phun - steam engine

No-cheat honest-to-god steam engine.

Water under gravity pressure plays the role of pressurized steam. There are four valves pushed synchronously by the piston, in pairs opening inlet/outlet of left/right side of the piston. The small spring on the bottom causes the valves to move to end positions instead of getting stuck halfway. As you can see, the engine leaks quite a bit but still the pressure is enough to propel the big momentum wheel (density 1).

this is in slowmo isnt it. it is right?

[sharpfang]

It's as fast as my CPU would go. Lots of water slow Phun down a lot.

I think u need more pressure and a flywheel

[sharpfang]

More pressure doesn't really help here - it's CPU power that's required for it to work faster. (more pressure = more water particles in the same volume = more CPU power to compute them = even slower actual animation). There is the flywheel on the left, and it's very helpful (the piston wouldn't be able to push the valve without flywheel's help), it's just connected with a very rigid spring instead of a bar - just build this in Phun to see how spectacularly it fails when using a solid bar there.

leak everywhere

[baptistepcarrara]

i think you got a leak or two...

[Prozwolfx]

its not a good engine if it leaks

[coderlyoko1]

i don't even see steam >_<

[GoodByeKyle]

vid won't play

brilliant! but laggy :c

[jeepjunky85]

Great engine, leaks a little, and would look better if the physics engine supported multi core possessors, which I'm assuming you have, but over all impressive.

[lolzerznijmniewdupe]

Props for the idea. 98% of things I found for Phun were guns, and you went ahead and made a fricking steam engine! Mad skills, wofie!

[Zenxax]

Please dont call it steam. Phun dont got such thing as steam.

[Hayonaise]

Its leaking.. =/

[realflow300]

put a killer under it all it can go faster if you do phun will go faster
