  • Hey everyone back with more Scrap Mechanic survival! Today Kosmo and I are building a massive elevator all the way to the skybox for ultimate bragging rights. Actually we were really curious to see how far up we really can go and figured a massive observation elevator can't possibly be the worst idea... ‪@darealkosmo‬

    Legend has it, if you do a 360 no-scope and kill a red bot with the last shot then twerk (rapidly crouch up and down) 69 times for 420 seconds at the sky box then ragdoll off the nearest warehouse 13 times you can raise the sky box by half a pixel. This is repeatable

      If you prepare the red bots with some kind of damage mechanism and use a macro you could raise it by p 421*13 seconds which is actually a decent rate if you leave it overnight

    If you plan on using the sky elevator often, maybe you should consider powering it with a piston engine(s). That way you can save on batteries for other vehicles and possible cool sky base contraptions.

    It would take at least a week to reach space on an elevator (assuming 150+mph). It may take up to a month.
    Time to make an epic sky base! I would leave a bit of space between the top of it and the skybox so you can helicopter up.

    • @CopiHuman
      @CopiHuman 2 года назад

      Space elevators are actually pretty cool, and feasible since it takes over a lifetime of pollution emissions to launch a rocket to space, launching it from space already would save a lot of fuel and allow for further missions

    • @erictheepic5019
      @erictheepic5019 2 года назад

      Five days at about 150 MPH, one day at the current land speed record, and 1.5 hours at 0.5G constant acceleration. The latter would essentially have to be doing maglev, as contacting the cable at 13 kilometers per second (30,000 mph) would instantly destroy both the wheel/carriage and the cable.
      Really even the one-day transit time would be more than enough; it takes astronauts longer to get to the ISS most of the time. Even the fastest possible time to reach the ISS is a few hours, although only a single hour of that is spent in space, most of that instead spent twiddling your thumbs, waiting for launch.

    The Kármán line, an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level, is conventionally used as the start of outer space. The fastest installed elevator reaches speeds of 67 feet per second (20.5 meters per second), or 46 miles per hour (73.8 kilometers per hour) in the Shanghai Tower. Round about 1 1/2 h to space its okay 👌

    The current world's fastest elevator rises at 67 feet per second. Space is typically considered to be 330,000 feet above sea level. Assuming the space elevator only wants to just barely get to space, and ignoring acceleration and deceleration times at the beginning and end of the trip, it would take roughly 82 minutes to get to space.
    Of course, with the trip being so long, it is conceivable that a space elevator likely would accelerate to higher speeds on the way up.
    And realistically, a space elevator probably wouldn't be done with a cable and pully system like in buildings. It would most likely be much closer to what was built in this episode. A vertical mono-rail. Most likely using some sort of magnetic levitation technology to reduce friction.

    Sweepers or + have to be red
    Fastest time for each course is the winner
    4 rounds
    R1 quali 5/6 obstacles if doing 6 the second is before big balls
    R2 group one last man standing podium jumping a block that raises and goes faster every revolution/spin
    R3 for it’s either spinner that everyone sits in and duo’s build one obstacle each if fall in water go to start of that obstacle first 2 go last in 4th round 1st last 2nd second last
    R4 is a slide into water as they climb 2/3 blocks into the first one with maybe stairs where spud launchers that goes every ten seconds the ones at the bottom of every stair is a group some spud launchers and they go every 10 seconds then a balance beam into a spinning disc or sweeper that’s an | with blocks on one side and spheres on the other then 3 different mini obstacles to add your choice

    Given that things render differently depending on if a player is present, does the render limit change if a player is in that zone? I recall the gas station is not present from the treefort's perspective until someone is close. That being the case, if one is at the top of the tower and the other is, say, at the gas station, can you see each other? If one was across the map, would their "AOE" of rendering affect the other's? This is an experiment that must occur. You could speed it up by having one guy in the elevator and the other helicoptering around to see if it affects the map.
    Please do.😁

    I've got an image in my head of something they just sit in or on and push a button to blast off and once they get there, weld it up an take a different one back to the base, which they can also just weld up ready for the next trip.

    penny doesn't kill - not matter what height you drop it from! It has a terminal velocity, which limits the damage it can do. You might get a bruise from it, but it wouldn't kill you.

    If I did the math correctly, the amount of blocks used for the tower is roughly 16,512 blocks
    Proof~ish is below
    Using 0.25 speed, I counted 129 different sections of the tower. Minus the portion underwater that I couldn't see, and given that: you can only place 16 blocks high each time and that you placed 64 block (16 high x 2 wide x 2 deep) high portions twice per section, with 128 blocks per section of the tower. The math then ends up as ((16x2x2)x2) x 129 = 16,512.
    Note that the last part of the tower was not a full section (though I calculated as if it was), and I am also not accounting for the blocks underwater, so this is a rough estimate (though I could still be pretty off if I miscounted the sections).

    At the fastest current elevator speed straight up to space would take about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Though with comfortable acceleration and decelleration in mind you could probably get the entire ride done in 20 minutes if you cranked it up to airplane speeds. Or like 6 minutes if you want to turn it into some extreme fairride. Faster than that would probably break the sound barrier which might be very detrimental when traveling along a cable.

      to space maybe, but not to where you have to ride a space elevator to be useful. (at least the common depiction of cable-to-space-station version).
      over the Karman line is just the tiniest step to geostationary orbit at ~30000km up, 1/10th the way to the moon. which is the only place where you could put the upper end and not have it fall down.
      most proposals put travel time in a space elevator at around a week per direction.

    Figure a space bridge would reach about 6000 miles up, say 80mph, it would take 75 hours to rach space. However figure it would go extremely fast, people and crago would be strapped in, 250 mph, 24 hours.

    With a space elevator then the only hard limit would be the force you could apply to the structure during acceleration and braking, if we say it accelerates at the same speed as a normal elevator which a search tells me is 0.5m/s/s then you would gain 30m/s for every minute you're accelerating.
    So after one minute it's moving at 108km/h or 67mph
    Some posts also mention high speed cable elevators can accelerate at 3m/s/s giving about 648km/h per minute or 403mph
    For a reference point, the Falcon heavy second stage engine shut down just under 9 minutes after launch as it entered the coasting phase before the relight to circularize the orbit
    Ofcourse you could also go wild and start thinking about turning the whole thing into a variable force railgun since the whole thing would likely be attatched to a massive ground operation :D
    But realistically the speeds you can achive with just a few m/s/s of acceleration would make it not terrible in terms of how long it would take, and once you factor in the insane amounts of preparation time it takes for a rocket launch then the elevator easily wins in terms of how much time is needed from starting a roll-out for launch and the item being in space.

    • @Cornflakes1991
      @Cornflakes1991 Год назад

      a railgun (or the less sucky version, an inductive armature coilgun, also known as a linear motor) would not shorten travel time significantly.
      as the time when the magdriver can help you is in atmosphere and that is the shortest piece and the piece with air resistance.
      same problem as with all those cannon-to-space proposals: air.
      a better (and probably only feasible way) would be to make the cabin a fancy vertical maglev train and supply it from the ground station via some laser/maser beam or via inductive power transfer along the cable and have the car ride those ~30000km to geostationary orbit under its own power.

    • @ValentineC137
      @ValentineC137 Год назад

      ​@@Cornflakes1991 It might not have been clear, but what I proposed was basically a maglev powered from the ground, but instead of accelerating up to a certain speed, it instead keeps accelerating at a constant rate (that rate of acceleration being based on how much force the structure would safely sustain)
      and it would keep accelerating until it has to decelerate (at the same rate) to achive a perfect stop at the destination
      basically it keeps speeding up until it has to start slowing down, and by doing this and thanks to the lack of atmosphere for the vast majority of the journey it could hit some significant speeds

  • @scp-049

    A space elevator probably wouldn't be anchored on both a Space Station and Earth, most likely it would be suspended by a thick steel cable, and use weaker thrusters to reach space and clear the majority of the Atmosphere

    The ISS circles Earth in around 400 kilometers, sending a theoretical lift up there would take around 5 hours probably (Depending on the speed of the elevator).
