could i use this to power a proppeler?

The flywheel was XML edited.

Couple questions... howd you make the flywheel so big OvO and also, how should i translate this to torque to the props? Just place motors down or...?

Were you able to restart your 5K turbine? I was quite interested by that one!

Maybe they finally fixed it

In 1.3.6, I have let that think slowly crank up ... but it seems that it reached max power at around 1900 watt. I guess they changed the fly wheel effect at some point to avoid the creation of monster nuclear engines.

Is there any custom parts on this? I do not recognize the large pipe between the flywheels and the generator.

Thanks for this. Works great, got my ship skipping across the water at 700kmh forever now. instead of using 2000L diesel a second :D

yep :)

good news thanks to the steam power buff this pushes out a whopping 24157 kW (tested with tank of steam)

very interesting!

Very nice. I won't have to make a turbine myself anymore!

Very cool creation!

Yeah you can just copy and paste the whole thing, or you can chop this one with the select tool and repeat the middle section (4 turbines) as many times as you like.

Could you make it 2 times more powerful out of 24 turbines?

I accidentally uploaded it with steam in one of the tanks. I updated to remove it so it won't spin up by itself any more. Probably need to restart the game to get the update.

You can still use my tank of steam (link in description) to test it without a reactor.

Very cool! Although I don't think I understand why it works currently. When I spawn it in by itself, it cranks up. I though I would have to connect a boiler before it would start to move.
