Piston Tutorial | Space Engineers

UPDATE: This tutorial is now out of date. Everything should still work, but it hasn't been tested in some time and due to new additions to the game there are often better ways to achieve the same result. Everything you need to know about pistons and cranks in Space Engineers. Download this world from the Steam Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=244197061 By request here are the formulas: - Minimum length of the second arm - y = x + 2 Where y is the length of the second arm and x is the length of the first arm. - Travel Distance (Stroke Length) - y = 2x - 1 Where y is the travelling distance and x is the length of the first arm - Length of the first arm (stroke length rearranged) - x = (y +1) / 2 Where y is the travelling distance and x is the length of the first arm

What you talking about not good at engineering? Your accent says otherwise.
-
im pretty sure the first piston only moved four blocks because the first white marker was the 0th place
-
great vid, really helped me
-
Wow, rotors are still as glitchy as they were a year ago.
-
Thank you. Very well done.
-
Doesnt work!
-
does this still work? couse i did indetical and i have 3 rotors in control panel instead of 2, i try each of them, 2 of them wreck everything when i turn velocity, third does nothing
-
Very well done video. Thanks for sharing this.
-
how is it the landing gear you are using is so much smaller when i try to place landing gear even blocks they are huge making it impossible to do a compact build, is a very good guide but gear im using (building ona station) is just massive
-
Daven Attenborough narrates Space Engineers. Instant win
-
um they have pistons
-
Dude we have to play legos .
-
Now i make it vertical and put a drill on the tip >:D My own Oil Rig

First of your videos I saw. Immediately upvoted for the voice probably going to sub. Much better voice than most SE videos. I hope to see you getting much better at the physics of the game. Technical sides of games are so interesting and having a great person to contribute to that side of the community can be hard to find.
-
well made and the math makes it easier for me to work out everything.
-
I built a piston exactly like in this video, but it turns PAINFULLY slow, anyone knows why?
-
Good work ! This video help me a lot for my station ! Thank You !
-
I like this guy
-
This is so good, I just realized I took notes. :D
-
you sound like text to speech xD I like it.
