Paddle Steamer engine

;D Yes!!! ;D
Nice one ENSONIQ5 Gr8 to see the movements happening. I'm totally Amazed how you can do that through 'scripting'. (what type of magic is this. lol. Not a real question. But mind blowing it certainly is)
Awesome.
re keyboards: Am a bit of a fan myself. Loved to hav an old piano handy when living in a house, but living in a bus doesn't suit 'old iron-framed piano' ;) At the mo i hav a full size casio keyboard, and a neat little MIDI controller, but these both put away for now, till i get a sound card in my PC. (actually, a new PC is the plan).
I hav 'fruity loops' as main music software. Works great with MIDI.
anyway, must dash, cool stuff, bye for now... :)

It seems we've got a few music making goers on this forum. I my self have a Yamaha Kx 49 keyed midi controller. I also use fruity loops and various software like wavasaure (for creating my own sampled instruments).
Great work on the engine ENSONIQ5, I just think it needs more of a fluent velocity feel. It starts up and stops very suddenly which is unnatural.
ENSONIQ5:
This is very much a test animation only, to get everything moving together properly. Once done I plan to animate a more carefully timed run/stop/switch to reverse process. Having said that, with no flywheel (a smallish gear at each end of the crankshaft drives a large gear on the transverse shaft to which the paddle wheels are attached) these engines actually do stop and start pretty sharply once the gear is centred, I guess the compression in the cylinders is a pretty effective brake. I might actually fit a small flywheel on this engine though...just because they look cool!

It certainly is. My 7 litre diesel engine needs no glow plugs to start. And it stops amazingly suddenly.
Compression = EXPLOSION. When forced compression stops, so does everything else, but when you get an explosion inside going, step back.
The compression in your beast, ENSONIQ5 would be, , more-so comparible.
cooldude234 They start quick, they stop quick., If they're running, get the heck out of the way . :D lol
(Reminds me of the broken arms /wrists we got by hand-cranking 'BIG EFFING BEASTS') ::)
Awesome
ENSONIQ5:
7 litre diesel! O.O
I used to love doing compression lockups in my first car ('69 Hillman Hunter). Get some speed up, drop gears from 4th to 2nd, and dump the clutch. The engine's compression would act like a brake and the rear end would loosen up very nicely! Went through a few clutches of course but buttloads of fun!
There are some pretty good home videos of steam engines much like this one running in the bowels of a paddle boat and going through reverse cycles etc., so I should be able to get the speed and timing pretty accurate.
