Description

Wind turbines are too boring. Why not overcomplicate things a bit? This completely unnecessary machine is able to harness the power of the wind in a similar way to how steam pushes pistons on a steam engine. It doesn't give much back in terms of electricity output, but at least it looks cool doing it!

HOW TO OPERATE

The engine is designed to run in only one direction, with the wind facing towards the pistons.

There is a little barring motor for if the engine can't get going on its own.

Needs at least 50% wind to run.

Maximum power output is about 19.8

It can be spawned in the hanger, but wind doesn't blow in there so you need to use the addon editor to spawn it outside.

Free to use for whatever you could possibly do with this thing that you want to put on the workshop.

truly remarkable but how did you get the wheels to interact with the flywheels I have tried similar things to this but the wheels will never collide with anything
