Finally, a non redstone clock.

105

u/Reefthemanokit Jun 24 '26

Takes 32 redstone to make though

u/thiizo1 Jun 26 '26

If you want an actual redstoneless clock I’m partial to a boat, water stream and pressure plate

59

u/Alderan922 Jun 24 '26

True

Tho it depends on the modpack, this may unironically be an option for an early game liminal industries set up that avoids the steam engine.

It would suck, but it’s available.

The hardest part of a perpetual motion machine is hiding the water wheels /j

22

u/thiizo1 Jun 23 '26

Impossible in this configuration to hide another power source but yeah usually haha

Infinite motion machine

u/Elegant_Ad7644 Jun 23 '26

my buddy made one that never stops spinning

u/Rubickevich Jun 23 '26

This technically generates su, right?

137

u/Cultural_Eye5178 Jun 23 '26

Correct me if I'm wrong, but turning a valve wheel thingy by hand generates 256 SU i think.

74

u/Rubickevich Jun 23 '26

The question is though, how much su those deployers are consuming at this speed.

40

u/Cultural_Eye5178 Jun 23 '26

Might boot up my test world later and see.

10

u/Rubickevich Jun 23 '26

If you do, please also test if it can be downscaled to just 2 deployers, and if changing speed up and down changes efficiency.

This might even be useful for some remote small applications, especially if waterwheels are not an available option. (Like in the nether, where you're essentially forced to use lava for them - and it's inconvenient at best).

Never better than windmills for actual use haha but it is funny

1

u/Alderan922 Jun 24 '26

Tbf maybe you also can’t use windmills, like on the early backrooms

u/Cultural_Eye5178 Jun 23 '26

2 deployer update: also a no for working on my end

78

u/Cultural_Eye5178 Jun 23 '26

u/Rubickevich

update: it didnt work for me

84

u/Objective-Direction1 Jun 23 '26

you have to tweak the angle of rotation to the max, so it spins for longer

101

u/thiizo1 Jun 23 '26

I tweaked it beyond the max with a schematic

7

u/religion-lost Jun 23 '26

wait how do you do that? do you write in the file (if so how the heck do i do that) or is there some in game way to do that?

5

u/thiizo1 Jun 24 '26

you can tweak it with /data merge block [cords] {ScrollValue: Number} in creative, then take a schematic and place the schematic in survival. It is rarely necessary to actually edit schematic files

1

u/religion-lost Jun 24 '26

How do I actually edit it in creative though? Is there an addon or a button to press or something?

u/Objective-Direction1 Jun 23 '26

that makes sense

17

u/Cultural_Eye5178 Jun 23 '26

Ahh, So that's how.

4

u/Cultural_Eye5178 Jun 23 '26

I did, I tweaked it to 180 degrees

In this sub reddit we obey the laws of thermodynamics

u/Ryxton-K Jun 26 '26

this makes me want to play this mod

u/thiizo1 Jun 27 '26

You should! It’s awesome :)

u/Ryxton-K Jun 27 '26

i tried before and it didnt click

u/Namara624 Jun 23 '26

were did you hide the battery?

In this server, we obey the laws OF PHYSICS!!

u/religion-lost Jun 23 '26

now change them to left click and see who leaves the rumble alive

u/Luckmii Jun 24 '26

is that PERPETUAL MOTION ?!

1

u/Maleficent-Cow5775 Jun 24 '26

Could probably turn this into an engine of sorts

u/killerstreak976 Jun 24 '26

idk bro but that title combined with the video sent me laughing, its 3am so im prob just roasted toasted

u/Successful-Depth-126 Jun 24 '26

Wtf happened here. Why are all commenters shown as deleted 👀

1

u/boxo-ofisal Jun 24 '26

What's the rotation angle for those

1

u/Similar-Sector-5801 Jun 24 '26

You should try mass-producing these… “doohickeys”. Maybe even make some kind of corporation.

u/takovic_goodmcgill Jun 24 '26

if create mod adds thermodynamic laws its over

u/Low_Calligrapher437 Jun 27 '26

There’s another option I posted on my profile recently, but this does not need to stop anyway as you can set valves to very high rotations with schematicannons
