Ableton Forum

Spent some time away from ableton live, and created a commercial grade fuel RotaryDrive©?
May be the future of motorsport racing, may be even go to mars?

Very efficient direct fuel RotaryDrive©

Can you beat it?

Full animation at http://griffithsengines.com

Not interested in engines? Cyclist? http://griffithsengines.com/bellowbike

Got a good scene going on here, if only I had the time.

Just purchased http://citygine.com not bad!

Give me a price...

Ableton, if you could display the first couple of bars on a clip as dashes then may be useful.

The text at top left of the illustration (indicating stages) doesn’t stand out enough from the background - it took me a while to even notice it was there. The small grey font on black isn’t very readable either.

The animation itself is nice looking, though maybe a less cluttered/multi-coloured background would make it clearer. There’s a lot going on so the page looks very “busy” with no obvious spot for eyes to rest on. Animations are a bit like the horrible “blinking” text that was popular on amateur (and some pro) websites years ago or emojis like this one - - they keep dragging your eye back to them and away from other content. So simplicity can sometimes be a virtue.

As for the engine itself, my personal knowledge-base is kind of limited to things involving cylinders, pistons and crank-shafts. Rotaries historically haven’t done well in road cars for all kinds of reasons, and electric seems to be the future on Earth as well as planetary probes. Unless hydrogen becomes a viable Earth-usage power source. A really efficient electric drive that maximises performance while minimising battery size and usage might be worth thinking about?

Problem with batteries is they deplete over time. You'll need to charge it over night to get to and from work and then again to drive in the evening. Depleted batteries waste power, probably substantially. That would be a disaster.

Though, what makes a battery deplete? Do the surfaces need scrubbing? A mechanical type battery accessory where it removes the acids and scrubs?

Seems I'm on to something, the surfaces needs to be completely smooth else crystal/salt-like substance sticks to the plates. So a mechanical scrubber is needed and a way of temporarily storing the acid.

That was easy!

Now I can make some money off the batteries and my engine to provide the electricity when natural energy is low.

A sort of dual battery, transfer the acid and scrub system going on here.
May be a removable acid filter too between the 2 compartments. A valve system to send the acid through the filter.

Or just a scrubber, pump and filter system. Do I really have to draw the self powered design?
A sort of raise and lower rotary scrubber driven by belts or chains.
May be some mechanics to separate the plates for the roller.

To be honest I'm not confident of my engine used in cars, thank you TLW for the advice of thinking about electric.

I sort of believe there's not enough natural energy for everyone to drive, so it's public services and those that can afford the cost.
I do believe my engine is a lot more efficient than current engines. Guess we'll find out how it will be.

I'm just hoping it does not end up a rich persons pleasure of low fatigue.
So buy an elderly electric scooter before it's too late.

My engine can compress the fumes ready for carbon capture, it's a feature.

I have a natural energy design for sea, it's a bit like a rotary washing line with flaps, however no one listened.

Not promoting good ideas is ill advisable(even if your after the truth about superior...).

Now, during peak periods like after work, traffic jams are the standard view through your windscreen, so imagine a couple of generations the size of such.
It will end up people finishing work at different times.

Lucky I live in the outer of city Bristol.

I've decided to call it ArcturusDrive© after the brightest star in the northern hemisphere.

You got to check it out again, I'm out there...

Hey Paul, let's try and keep things on this forum at least vaguely related to music please. Thanks!
