(On another note, anyone else notice that Fantastic Contraption runs really slowly in Chrome?)
I can't tell, I don't lag in either Chrome or IE.

Spoiler
So far, the last design is the one that is both simple and fast.

Took me forever to perfect that. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1497279 Tank!  Blankout Wrote:Do you keep the special effects off? It runs a lot faster. Yes, I keep them off. ...This comp doesn't have the latest Flash installed. Maybe that's why. Edit: Omg yes it runs so much faster now. Stupid me, attributing it to Chrome and not Flash  Anyway, Blankout, I made some modifications to your last one. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1499066 : 5 wood rods 6 water rods 1 clockwise wheel ~9.62 seconds

3 wood rods 5 water rods 1 clockwise wheel 13 seconds :< I think tweaking would speed it up a little but you get the idea. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1521121 11.5 seconds tweaked.. same components. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1521743 2 wood rods 5 water rods 1 clockwise wheel 14.2 seconds Slower, but even more minimal ;P

^lol
Stereo Wrote::< I think tweaking would speed it up a little but you get the idea. i really wonder what the purpose of adding more wheels to it would do ... since ironically it doesnt make the original wheel spin any faster... then again they all spin at one rate. http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1524058 it makes it stronger i think?

butterfli Wrote:^lol I didn't look at it (not allowed to on weekdays, lol). I'm thinking that more wheels have more horsepower (or acceleration, whatever it's called). I mean, a bicycle will accelerate faster than a unicycle, right (*doesn't study physics*)?

butterfli Wrote:^lol http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1524314 made it like lot faster for you
took it down to 7 rods in a different way, a little faster >>
http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1525157 Still ~12 seconds though. Combined both techniques to drop it to 6 rods, this one is rather slow though  http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=1525739

butterfli Wrote:^lolThink of it in terms of force. When a pinwheel spins, its arms apply a certain amount of force to whatever's in their way. If you have a single-wheeled pinwheel, then the force of that one spinning wheel has to lift up the weight of the ball (read: resistance) and sling it up and forward. By hooking up additional wheels, you make it able to apply that much more force to the ball. The reason why the self-rotating speed doesn't increase by much is that there's no resistance to overcome when it's self-rotating. Take a look at my 5-wheeled sling on the previous page and see how it fares if you take out all the auxiliary wheels.
