What effect do valves have on the efficiency of steam pistons? | Stormworks

One engine has valves and threshold gates to control the steam input and output to hopefully increase the efficiency of the engines. I'm testing to see if that's really the case, or if a free flow system is better.

Gonna use it for a PCTC

awesome to know, can you show how you made the logic on the valved one? because am struggling to do it

[@AXbcyz]

I think I did in another video on the channel, one of the only tutorial, if you can’t find it I can give a link. (When you do get to it, read some of the comments first, I do need to retest it)

[@thechort4212]

Awesome direct comparison. On top of being more efficient I found they also produce more power. I've gotten 120,000W with 5 large pistons. It takes a long time but it gets there.

[@AXbcyz]

That’s good to know, I didn’t think of actual power production

[@ruusteriv]

How do/did you calculate it's power output?

[@snailboi6902]

@@ruusteriv There's an output on generators for power generation, measured in swatts (not watts because lol)

Tutorial?

[@AXbcyz]

Of course, I forgot about that, I’ll probably do it after school

Do you have a discord?

Yes, why?

Could you help me with missile design?

Aight, thank you man
