Chapter 518 I Want to Fly Higher~ (Please Vote)
Although it is necessary to design two wind-powered magic engines for two motorcycles, this kind of magic engine is originally magic modified technology and does not have high requirements for materials and processing technology, so the difficulty is not great. Tang En did not Don't care.
The main change is the rotor - a floor-mounted motorcycle must use a rotor to drive the tires, while a floating motorcycle must use an engine ejecting downwards.
None of this is a problem.
Tang En shrugged, pointing to the floating motorcycle with seven or eight buttons tilted in mid-air and said: "The real problem is how to maintain balance in the air. I thought about it for a long time. Adding side propellers will destroy the aesthetics. After much thought, I still think it’s better to use your gyroscope technology, but this requires you to provide gyroscopes and corresponding technology, and I don’t have that technology.”
Seeing Tang En easily designing two new wind-powered magic engines, and even manufacturing two prototypes in less than an afternoon, Clotto was already amazed. In the process , he learned many fresh and practical design concepts. If integrated into dwarf engineering, he can take a big step forward.
After hearing Tang En's request, Clotto readily agreed: "No problem at all. We have already mastered the gyro balance technology. We only need to design a solution for this motorcycle. However, the automatic adjustment device must be compatible with the gyro balance technology." Combining the magic input of the magic circle, this technical difficulty still needs to be solved by you."
The gyro self-balancing device is a very commonly used device in dwarf engineering, and the related technology has been very perfect, which can completely solve Tang En's needs.
However, the balance adjustment of this floating motorcycle still needs to be achieved through the power of magic. The principle is very simple. The gyro self-balancing device is used to detect the tilt angle and provide feedback adjustment, and then the detected data is quantified and then Acting on the magic circle, adjust the jet power at the bottom and sides to achieve the balance of the motorcycle.
The detailed production was more troublesome. Clotto immediately became busy, but Tang En was idle at the moment.
Two prototypes have been designed, and he has even test-drove a floor-mounted motorcycle. Tang En is very satisfied with the current performance. As for durability, he will not consider it for the time being. After all, the machining accuracy is there, the rotor and chain , bearing wear is inevitable.
After recalling the production process of the floor-standing motorcycle, Tang En was very sure that this motorcycle could be mass-produced, but it still had some flaws.
There is no perfect shock absorption device.
Considering the road conditions other than asphalt roads, good shock absorption methods are indispensable. Spring Ellington is capable of producing them, but telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers are not available. Tang En knows that there is such a thing, but he made Not coming out - he doesn't understand what's going on inside.
But this is not a big problem, because Gnome Engineering has telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers, which Tang En has seen on the steam combat tanks they produced.
Tang En said: "Klotto, in addition to the gyroscope, please help me get some telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers. Floor-mounted motorcycles need suspension shock absorbers."
"It's a small thing."
As soon as Clotto snapped his fingers, the group of assistants guarding the door swarmed in: "Go back and get some sets of gyro self-balancing devices and telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers. We need all kinds of models, large, medium and small."
The assistants dispersed in a hurry.
Before Clotto's design drawing was finished here, the assistants on the other side had already returned from taking things, so Tang En also joined them, and the two of them discussed and improved the design plan.
What I have to say is that despite experiencing an era of great destruction, the foundation of dwarf technology is still there. Clotto’s knowledge reserve far exceeds that of Tang En. Many key issues were pointed out by Clotto. In the real world, In front of the siege master, all Tang En could give was inspiration and general direction.
It just so happened that what Crotto lacked was inspiration and direction, and the cooperation between the two could be described as a tacit understanding.
At the beginning of the day, the streets of Ellington have been lit up with soft street lights, but Cloteau and Tang En are still busy in the research room. They have completed the final design plan and are now doing the final step - assembling it. A good prototype is dismantled and modified, and then reinstalled according to the design drawings.
In the process, Tang En disassembled a hydraulic rod and gyroscope and studied it. He roughly understood the internal structure and principles, and successfully copied them through alchemy. The fine adjustments of the parts were finally achieved through alchemy. of.
"finished!"
After assembling the two motorcycles, Clotto and Tang En breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at the two ugly-looking prototypes in front of them as if they were looking at the most beautiful beauties. Eyes gleaming.
Clotto couldn't help but say: "So beautiful! They are truly a perfect masterpiece of science and magic!"
The core technology of the two motorcycles uses the power of magic, but the perfection of the details relies on dwarf technology. It is absolutely correct to say that they are the crystallization of science and magic.
Clotto rubbed his hands: "I can't wait to give it a try."
Tang En smiled bitterly at this time: "Well...these two motorcycles are designed according to the human body shape. It may be a bit awkward for you to sit on them."
"I can't control that much anymore!"
Clotto doesn't care about so much, he can't reach it if his feet can't reach the ground. Now he just wants to try out the feeling of these two new products.
"Then you'd better fly the floating one."
Tang En made a suggestion. Since the floating flying motorcycle is self-balancing, Clotto can operate it while standing on the seat.
As soon as he finished speaking, Clotho had already jumped up and started the magic engine.
With a slight twist of the handle, there was a sound of airflow, and the flying motorcycle slowly floated up. Clotto felt good standing on it.
"The gyro self-balancing device works normally and is very stable!"
Clotto screamed excitedly, and his voice attracted the researchers who were working overtime next door. The technical team led by Nokia saw Clotto actually flying a small aircraft, and everyone became excited. stand up.
Small personal aircraft is a very difficult technical problem to solve, and there is no corresponding solution in dwarf engineering. After all, energy and propulsion are directly proportional. The longer the floating time, the greater the load, the more energy and power required. The source will be larger, which is an unsolvable problem.
But now Tang En and Master Cloto have solved it!
"Let's go out and give it a try."
Tang En sat astride the motorcycle, turned the handle slightly, and the motorcycle drove off.
Different from the internal combustion engine, the improved wind-powered magic engine does not make a loud sound. The rotor is pushed by the wind. It does not generate high temperatures except for friction, and naturally there are no related troubles.
Although the sound of engines is a man's romance, if the streets are full of engine sounds, it will become noise pollution, or if it is used on the battlefield, this kind of sound will reveal one's position, which is very bad, and now this low The buzzing sound was less than 40 decibels, which was lower than a normal human voice and could basically be ignored.
This is the only drawback, but also an advantage.
Clotto followed Tang En, floating neither high nor low - the pedals under the flying motorcycle were used to control the height. Unfortunately, due to his height, he could only control the speed while standing on the seat, which made him very dissatisfied.
Clotto screamed: "Nokia! I need your help! Come up here!"
Nokia jumped up without hesitation, and the flying motorcycle just sank slightly, and then returned to its original height.
After precise calculations and testing, the number of floating stones used on this flying motorcycle and the buoyancy provided by the magic engine can carry a weight of no more than 200 kilograms for normal flight. If it is 300 kilograms, the consumption will be greatly increased, and the maximum height will also be It will drop a lot. If it exceeds 400 kilograms, the flying motorcycle can only rub on the ground.
Since the material is made of universal alloy, the load capacity of a floor-standing motorcycle is slightly better, and it can be used normally at 300 kilograms. However, if it exceeds 400 kilograms, it will cause a huge burden on the suspension and shock absorption, and the loss will become If the weight is doubled and exceeds 500 kilograms, the current tires will not be able to withstand it. Tire processing technology must be improved to produce special tires.
But this carrying capacity is enough. Now in Purandar, the total weight of a warrior wearing full armor and weapons will not exceed 300 kilograms. In other words, if these two motorcycles are mass-produced, Ellington can completely form a fully armed rapid reaction force, whose response speed and action speed will far exceed that of the current cavalry.
"Press the right pedal! I want to fly higher! Fly higher!"
Clotto flew into the sky and shouted excitedly. Nokia, who was squatting under his feet, immediately stepped on the right pedal. The power of the magic engine suddenly increased, and the flying motorcycle buzzed into the night sky. In the blink of an eye, it was Gone.
Tang En looked at the night sky, blinked his eyes, and his expression was a little weird: "Speaking of which, this kind of iron-clad flying motorcycle seems to be prone to problems if the maximum height is not limited... In addition, emergency survival devices must be provided... parachute?"
I was so excited just now that I completely forgot about this. This is a design error.
The flight altitude limit needs to be controlled by an altimeter or barometer. Croto and the others who can make the Skybreaker must have the corresponding technology. They will have to find a way to install it later. As for the parachute, Tang En gave up after thinking about it for a while.
The second-level levitation spell is not a complicated spell. It can be made into emergency consumables, such as magic scrolls or magic crystals, and the cost is not too high.
Tang En was thinking about and perfecting the design of the two motorcycles in his mind, while feeling the riding conditions of the motorcycle underneath him.
It can be said that the performance is surprising and far beyond expectations!
