Synchropter

2019-08-04 20:36:29 UTC  

does it play dubstep?

2019-08-04 20:37:20 UTC  

It has two rotors that are spinning in the opposite directions and are intermeshing

2019-08-04 20:37:20 UTC  

God GATE was great

2019-08-04 20:37:33 UTC  

Wish Bookwalker carried it :(

2019-08-04 20:37:34 UTC  

@Eirshy i got the complete anime on dvd

2019-08-04 20:37:42 UTC  

They generate a lot of lift, but can't fly too fast because of rotor interference

2019-08-04 20:37:49 UTC  

@Uksio you got a video of it?

2019-08-04 20:37:57 UTC  

I mean, I got the complete anime on the 8th sea

2019-08-04 20:38:09 UTC  

myself

2019-08-04 20:38:14 UTC  

nice

2019-08-04 20:38:30 UTC  

god that is one freaky looking heli

2019-08-04 20:38:57 UTC  

It is also very unusual in how it is controlled

2019-08-04 20:39:00 UTC  

holy shit wow

2019-08-04 20:39:25 UTC  

you see how its was moving while starting up?

2019-08-04 20:39:28 UTC  

Even though it has hydraulics, it is fully and completely steerable with hydraulics being dead

2019-08-04 20:39:38 UTC  

holy shit does that have a lot of torque

2019-08-04 20:39:49 UTC  

Because it has control cables as a backup to fall onto

2019-08-04 20:39:55 UTC  

Yeah but one maint issue with the thing that keeps the rotors in sync and it blows itself up

2019-08-04 20:40:38 UTC  

Rototrs are connected via cogs

2019-08-04 20:40:38 UTC  

'cause they even get slightly out of sync and your rotors chop themselves apart

2019-08-04 20:40:44 UTC  

They can never go out of sync

2019-08-04 20:40:53 UTC  

Same as in the Osprey

2019-08-04 20:41:08 UTC  

i mean if something fails sure

2019-08-04 20:42:01 UTC  

damn ... and now I need to find a light-novel for "GATE"

2019-08-04 20:42:02 UTC  

😦

2019-08-04 20:42:47 UTC  

its a good read

2019-08-04 20:43:12 UTC  

I wouln't say never, I highly doubt it's a single cog; faulty tollerances or just too much wear on the parts in that assembly can cause it to have enough give to allow something catastrophic. The fact that it'd need a deviance of 25% makes it highly unlikely, and they probably designed it to have as little chance of that as possible....

2019-08-04 20:43:14 UTC  

buuuuuut

2019-08-04 20:43:48 UTC  

I was actually reading "Release That Witch" but .. emm ... well, it's too chinese

2019-08-04 20:44:07 UTC  

If you haven't yet treated yourself to Youjo Senki you should

2019-08-04 20:44:24 UTC  

book 6 of the official translation like just came out

2019-08-04 20:45:19 UTC  

TBH, I should probably finish https://www.wuxiaworld.com/novel/warlock-of-the-magus-world at some point

2019-08-04 20:45:39 UTC  

youjo senki is also a good one too
