Coaxial Juney Booster - Hybrid Driveshaft Thruster Upgrade: EXPERIMENTAL

This particular installation represents the big thing I’ve wanted to get done forever, it seems - but kept putting it off and putting it off because I knew it would be a terrible slog. And a slog, it was. But I now know for sure the basic concept is valid.

What I figured out from the Susuyal Lift Driveshaft, is that the “popping a wheelie” effect upon firing off the JATO, is due to the vector sum of the Juney thrust, and the Propeller thrust hard speed limit. So it occurred to me to wonder - what if the Juney thrust was coaxial with the Propeller thrust? Which one would “win?”

This build represents an answer to that. A spring-mounted mini-Juney cart is inserted between both of the q-linked Shrine Motors, as well as a suitable massive target; both rotate with the same Driveshaft input as powers the Propellers. The whole array in this video is mounted upon a Depths Elevator, which helps with its overall stability as I’m interested in controlling the total number of variables.

Beyond just the speed limit, the pairing of the “gyroscopic” stability from dual Propellers, coupled with the Juney’s own gyroscoping axial thrust as it presses against a congruently rotating target, results in a very interesting flying experience - about which I still know very little.

Many thanks to all the Hyrule Engineers whose efforts and QR codes opened so many doors. Thank you for your sustained attention into these matters!

Adventure in the Rist Mine

Featuring u/Switcheroo11 ‘s Double Electric Gatling Gun
together with the new
UltraBall ROGUEster X

I learned a good deal from this trip; some of which I already mentioned in prior comments - but I figured it might be useful to share.

As I suspected, this novel weaponry make short work of the sorts of baddies I encounter in the Rist Mine whilst harvesting Zonaite. If I were to do it again, however, I’d redesign the vehicle such that the turret would be mounted in front of the driver, rather than in its current configuration. The forced camera angle shift brought on by the Shrine Motors was quite disorienting at first; and even in getting used to it, it would not be easy to prevent it completely. However, the effect could be mostly mitigated by swapping positions with the driver, as stated.

It was effortless with the Double Electric Gatling Gun to find a well-balanced spot on the middle of the Sled; I’ve had quite a bit of trouble in the past with full-sized Pulse Beam Emitters - which usually tip over when I place them.

The Shock Emitter does still work against enemies that get too close! I was curious about that - but I got footage of it.

This happens to be my first trip to the Rist Mine with the newly rebuilt-from-scratch UltraBall ROGUEster ‘X’ - which looks almost entirely like the original namesake, but has been glue-looped every which way I could manage by hand — resulting in far greater general stability and performance improvement in virtually every metric. I was even able to simply slap the cockpit back on almost good as new! That would never happen in the original.

Special thanks again, u/Switcheroo11, for the awesome QR Code; I hope it brings you much celebration for ages to come!
