Making the wheel support more rigid and placing the two electric engines symmetrically on both ends might reduce the vibrations and allow for higher rpms, which would result in more speed. Also, extending the projectile guide rail beyond the wheel may increase accuracy.
I'm glad some people have correctly pointed out that this is *not* a railgun, I was already sure it wasn't a railgun the moment I saw that it fired wooden projectiles from between plastic rails (a railgun works by using two conductive rails and a conductive projectile, which plastic and wood are not), the big spinning wheel was also a giveaway given that it was too close to the output to be a projectile insertion mechanism. Anyway nice design.
@@dietrichborden7614 if im not mistaken a rail gun is electrically charged magnets that speed a heavy metal "bolt/rail" to super high speed where it then uses the kinetic energy from its velocity to pierce through heavy metal layers
A railgun is a linear motor device, that uses electromagnetic force to launch high velocity projectiles. IE launching a metallic round by electrifying two conductive "rails" that fire at ridiculous speeds. That being said, fun build, not a railgun.
The principle is very cool, but its not a railgun. For improvement you could have a rubber band loaded magazine behind the big wheel an put a smaller slow tire under it to feed the gun. Make sure there is only one stick at the time in the actual gun
The most efficient and accurate way of doing this is to put the chopsticks in between two rotating accelerators that apply pressure slightly for better grip. For accuracy, there must be a barrel at the out. It will eliminate unbalanced thrust vectoring. For air time stability of chopsticks, they should also be rotated in the movement axis. It can be done by steering the wheels and making them not parallel.
You should make a magazine to hold them either gravity fed ( would be the easiest) or spring fed, then make and electric trigger so it can be a machine gun
I made a self-propelled gun of 2 LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets which shoots Jenga bricks at up to 7 meters, using dual flywheels. It has a 9-round magazine. The main problem is that the bricks do not fly along the barrel, but instead somewhat higher. Also EV3 large motors need several seconds to spin up the flywheels between shots, because their speed is significantly decreased by the brick passing between the flywheels.
I know this is old...but what about a hammer fire lego weapon. Use motors to draw up a large heavy pieces, and at a certain point let it drop to hit a projectile and propel it down a barrel?
I can imagine a burglar coming into his house, then all of the sudden there is a man with a 1 foot controller with 10 lego contraptions, then the chopsticks gun comes in and just kills the man

Feel free to post any suggestion for upgrade this machine :)
Can there be arrows made of technic pieces?
Also what if you use like a automatic magazine so that it gravity feeds and the gun shoots continously

@@davidziemkiewicz1350 thanks 👍, amazing idea 💡
Use 2 wheels

Thanks for your comment and for watching! 👍💡😊
any thing is conducitve under the right conditions
Rail guns have to do with magnetic power 2 right?
Depending on the techical side, the projectile doesnt need to conduct, because they are posed on a slide that conducts.

imagine breaking in into someones house, all to be flocked to death by a lego sentry firing chop sticks
This weapon would be efficent againts vampires
The lack of recognition you get is criminal. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching, my friend! And, of course, for subscribing :)
simple problems require simple solutions, more power needed
For much better power try squeezing the chopsticks between two counter rotating flywheels for more grip and less drag
Won't the accuracy get fricked then?
@@bjornrisberg9404 maybe add a barrel?
Son: can I have that lego for Christmas?
Mom: 🤦♀️
OMG! Thats so cool but someone could litteraly lose an eye

When they make fun of you for playing with Lego in middle-school, but nothing says, "Don't tread on me," like a Lego brick:
cant wait to see this dude make a fully working tank with legos.
I knew it was only a matter of time before somebody turned this thing into a deadly weapon.
Wow the accuracy is amazing direct Hit

Thanks, will try to make it next time.
love you brother you are a god at all this keep it up
Thanks! 😁
give it a feeding mechanism from a magazine like a slow wheels that pushes the arrows towards the main shooting wheel like a machine gun.

Rate of fire would increase with a simple hopper and pusher, like a fully motorized nerf gun

i can watch this everyday, really nice vid
Glad you enjoy it! Appreciate!
Imagine this with a mag
Quiet kid:*grabs his Legos set and a bunch of magazines in his bag*
Go watch “The slingshot Channel” with Jöerg Sprave.
i genuinely feel like this could impale someone...
what a great machine yo bro

I can't wait to make a lego stryfe now
The simi-chopstick gun. Perfect for self defence!
This is a chain gun, not a rail gun. Nice work though
👍 Thanks for comment and for watching!
No its not a chain gun is a motorized rotary cannon like a gatling gun
@@BigCroca agreed a chain gun is a gun that uses chains to feed the ammunition this is a bolt action its kinda like a 3 round burst assault rifle lol
@@Godsoldiergaming yeah also a chain gun has to be powered, so like a gau8
@@BigCroca yeah so its kinda a hybrid between the 2 since this one is also powered
Mk.IV idea:
a tunnel not only before but also AFTER the shooting wheel to increase accuracy
Thanks, nice 💡
The new weapon that was supposed to be made in 2060 has been made

This is a Hot Wheels motorized launcher.
Great video
Fantastic!
Thanks!
I love your content
Thanks!
Dr engine: it’s not enough power we need nuclear power.
so nice dear
Good!!
This is so funny!!

Now watch someone is gonna turn this into a functioning rifle
You are build a shooting thing and i love your video's
You could make one helluva Flywheel Nerf Blaster with these setups!
4:33 I can now imagine how painful it is if you accidentally shoot your leg/ other body parts.

Just curious
Perfect chop stick gun for apocalypse

Wonderful. But why is for the last 8t in the gearbox?
I’d love to see this with the buggy motor on it, great job!
That would be frightening.

How do you have no subs. I just subbed
Pepsi: ouch, you didn't use coca cola cans.
Make different arrows with different characteristics
How to the pieces
Hi: *hits the pepsi*

It's not a railgun actually, it's a thing that shoots chopsticks. Not a cannon, not a railgun, not a balista, not a catapult. It's a thing.
Ok! Thanks for watching!
@@DrEngine Still good machine though. Have a nice day!
It’s a chopstick yeeter
You should make to dart thin,not sharp.
were one step closer to a lego gun that fires live ammunition
Can you make something to store the chopsticks, and when it's turned on, automatically push them in so it will fire continously?
And some say he was never allowed in his school lego club again....lol, this is amazing in all seriousness, subscribed!
Thanks!
The closest thing to the Halo needle gun
Famous last worlds : ok we need more power
I have subbed :)
Thanks!
Your name shouldnt be dr engine because it should be dr engineer yku are really good at lego keep going
We need power..
YOU NEED FRICTION
Very cool
Thanks!
Who knew a stick could damage soda can
Some who practice 10yrs for to be professional archers : i can't..

Great job, but more of a launcher👍😀
Working on it!
Add more gear and put more force in it
Let's weapon use Lego and chopsticks!
i love how much power it has, keep doibg a great job like this, also i subbed ^-^
Appreciate!
what if ya turn it to a tank?
Very much yes power :D
I want this to have TWO giant wheals
that robin hood tho 3:04
Well not really a railgun cuz railgun uses electromagnetic field to fire this is more like balista
Where did we get this parts
3:49 - how to fast make a sugar apple
Дивлюсь твоє відео і не можу зупинитися а треба збирати портфель

Well i know what im gonna do today make this but for toothpicks
Oh, toothpicks! Amazing 💡
Just imagine if he did a 1/1000 gear connected to the wheel, how strong the projectile would be?
By using multiple gears, you can get the same effect as with one very large gear, as the effect mutiplies.

so the can is ded

So sad the coke was empty 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
tutorial?
Try it with a filled can of soda

do you really have to hate pepsi so much, i mean what did the pepi company do to you???
