Many time I build a large ship I find myself cramming as many of these weak little gyroscopes in as possible just to get some mobility out of it. So I made one that is the size of a Large Reactor that provides 243x more force than the stock one. Reasoning:
- A Large Reactor is 3x3x3, or 27 blocks in volume.
- The small gyroscope's moment of inertia is m(r^2) for simplicity sake. For a 3x3, the mass scales by the cube but the radius scales linearly, so we get 27*m*(3*r^2) = 27*9*m*(r^2) = 243*m*(r^2)
Function: 3x3 Gyroscope Available on: Large & Small Ships Survival?: Yes
To Do: Remodel/Retexture, get panel working
Materials:
Large Ship: Steel Plate: 22500 Construction Component: 1000 Large Tube: 100 Motor: 30 Computer: 10 Small Ship: Steel Plate: 700 Construction Component: 130 Large Tube: 25 Motor: 10 Computer: 6
Power Requirement: Large: 1.25 MW Small: 25 KW
NOTE: Very powerful, only use on ships where you would need more than 100 stock Gyros or else you may shred your landing gear
Version: 1.0 - First Publish 1.1 - Balanced power consumption to 1.25MW/25KW 1.2 - Reworked force thanks to Phaeroth pointing out my flawed physics 1.3 - Bumped up # of steel plates and tubes for large ship version
