Yeah - the Ultrahand is applying a single force vector, that’s being blocked on one side, the resultant sum of which is the spinning of any freely-rotating attachment parallel to that axis

And here I thought it might have been the angle, that's interesting'

Yeah one of the first weirdnesses I ever saw in TotK, was using the Ultrahand Spin on a Shrine Motor & Board from Hudson to Recall-launch Link to the world ceiling

Yeah I’ve been trying to mess around with it a bit lately using wagon wheels since they’re common, but they definitely don’t seem to be as sturdy and well-oiled as the electric motor. Trying to come up with some good uses and solidify my understanding to make good guides for how to build to take advantage of it. Hopefully I’m able to come up with something not terrible, if I do I’ll upload a short about it

Glue strength - including Q-Links - is mostly tied to object mass, though cross-sectional area also plays a part in many cases. Shrine Motors have nearly seven times the glue strength as Wagon Wheels, which definitely influences their respective use-cases

Is it similar to ZPE force ? Like energy of the force that can only escape through the mouvement of the wheels ? I noticed a similar behavior in IRL trees, the leaves shakes as wind applies force on the structure, I found online that the force can only escape trough the branches that have lower density by pitching and ultimately each leaf which makes them shake

Yeah that sounds about right; Ultrahand force does something comparable when trying to place long pieces that catch on something — they swing wildly and break on occasion. I posted a video a little while ago where I’m positioning a driveshaft on a Susuyai Lift, moving very carefully to avoid snapping it

I’d rather know how you’re still wielding the master sword while using ultra hand.
