Build a water wheel , stick it on a pole in the water with a bearin in between. Connect a bearing to the alternator, and it slowly generates batteries for yah.
first row in controller is start position. second row you just set to 360 and then loop. dont have to adjust all the way to the end. also build it on the lift otherwise you cant make a closed loop. it need both ends to be fixed so you have all the rotation done between fixed points and the bearing going to the generator on the fixed end so it generate torgue.
Haha I made one as well, 5 controller bearings connected to a max speed controller and two alternators connncted to the same part seems to be the sweet spot. Any less and it doesn't spin fast enough for peak generation. Any more and the bearing's strength gets overidden by the alternators. Oh that and you run the risk of making a kraken.
2 issues i saw....you just need to put the controller on 360 on first active input then loop, no need to set them all at 360. Other is that the bearing needs to be attached the a non moving part to generate power?
Alternators are finicky a.f. I tried making a water wheel with one bearing connected to a small alternator. Got to 3% and have been stuck there since. No idea how these things are supposed to work.
use a level five engine and make multiple setups of alternaters (heavy duty is better). I use four. It takes some time to generate but with time, you will get more than what u need. I just left the engine running for a long time. use two bearing on each side of a cube and connect one to engine and connect another to generator.
The top wasn't connected so with torque it wouldn't work with this fault, i have made a similair design with a level 4 controller it has enough torque and it generates fast
It takes more than a in game day for 1 battery to generate. Not worth it imo. It's been done with a controller where people got 1 battery every 80 seconds. So far, I haven't been able to replicate that! But I'll keep trying!
they ended up nerfing it so incredibly hard that not only does it take 20 water for 1 battery ... i'm like 90% sure a waterwheel isn't even enough to charge a compact alternator anymore ... i've left my compact alternator with a waterwheel on it for multiple in game days and it's been stuck on 0% (it's not the water, I have it hooked up and it isn't showing the overheated message - I also put and linked a bearing)
Right! lol got a bit confused with trying to fix it, that I forgot to say what it is I try to reach!.. sorry! My goal is to generate batteries by spinning barrings hooked up to the alternator. with a controller level 5. but all it does is spin, not generating anything.
@@FerDutchmanyou have to weld the end that is connected to the alternator back to the bottom frame, or else you're only spinning the alternator freely.

The bearing is not spinning you need to welt the block on top of the bearing to the world

Thank you! I already have a fix for it! now I finally know how it works!
@@FerDutchman same when building with controllers. if holding shift while adjust angle in controller you change it by 1 instead of intervals of 15.

I should record how to make it, when I can. I moved so my computer is not online atm.

Bro can you gi
Bro, can you write detailed instructions for building a setup with a heavy alternator?
The upper block must be welded to the frame. The intermediate blocks and the generator bearing must rotate.
bruh the top block is need to not spin and then it woked
You also need torque!, rpm doesn't matter if you have no torque
The top wasn't connected so with torque it wouldn't work with this fault, i have made a similair design with a level 4 controller it has enough torque and it generates fast
Use the Waterwheel to turn it

@@FerDutchmandamn my controller one in my world can make two batteries every 30 seconds.
@@FerDutchmanHow did you make it work? I tried and after 50 in game days It's only at 3%

I dont see the issue.... you def didnt explain what your thinking the issue is, so 🤷
Right! lol got a bit confused with trying to fix it, that I forgot to say what it is I try to reach!.. sorry!

dont worry about it we all make mistakes@@FerDutchman
