In Topic: Homemade Flywheel Blaster

11 March 2015 - 03:30 PM

Just wanted to say something, I'm in an engineering class in school right now, and we've actually tested this with VEX kits, and the darts fly MUCH farther when we set up the flywheels and motors the way Nerf does it... because you want a DISTANCE multiplier NOT A FORCE multiplier. So in turn, what you want is a motor with high torque, but also a high RPM.

As for the bike thing, your feet moving the pedals are FORCE multipliers and from front sprocket to back sprocket it's a DISTANCE multiplier then it spins a rod on it's inside which is a FORCE multiplier then that spins the wheel which is the last DISTANCE multiplier. So in turn, it goes Force to Distance to Force to Distance.

Not trying to be a douche or troll, but everybody that is criticizing him, how many of YOU make your own foam? I bet at most like 1 or 2 of you. At least he's willing to try, so don't rip on him.

In Topic: Demolisher Help

24 August 2014 - 04:51 PM

So I was attempting to use my demolisher today, and the dart pusher would work and everything, but the little black thingy in front of the flywheels is kind of stopping the dart. Would it be safe to remove it? If not, what are some other solutions? What is the purpose of this piece?

the purpose of that piece is to (as hasbro would say) "guide the dart into the flywheels"

see that white piece of plastic that is connected to the clip release? it looks as if that's not pushed down far enough.
