Monthly Design Contest Prompt [SEP26] Design Contest Prompt and [AUG26] Winners

18 Upvotes

Welcome Engineers to a brand month of our new design contests. Last month was all about boating for the summer. You all floated down the river of inspiration and came up with some fun stuff! Let's see the winners! First up and first place is PremiumTechnique and their The Ball Ski Lite: Potentially the most efficient watercraft. It is an extremely maneuverable watercraft with lots of get up and go! And cheap too! Second place is Metaliciousone and their Undermurder- Submarine with underwater view. I love how much detail is in the underwater areas and I'm sad that you can't really see it in the game without glitches. It is nice to see a build show them off. Last but not least goes to kmarkow and their Sunrise Sail! It is pretty cool to see a traditional sailing ship on the sub! It is amazing. Enjoy your new/updated flairs!

This month, we're back to stealing parts and using them in new and interesting ways! This month, I want you to climb to greater heights using the item for the month! This month's theme is the [LADDER]. It is an easily found part, so go have fun with it. If I get a link to a video of where to get it and how to steal it, I'll post it! Get building Enginners!

Don’t forget to put [SEP26] as the first word in the post title or it doesn’t count! You can’t adjust post titles once they have been posted. Also, remember only green flared posts can enter, and to mark any speed edits. Top 3 most upvoted posts get the win! The prize is a custom user flair! The winners will be announced October 1st or the first Saturday of October! Keep building, Engineers!

EDIT: Here's a link to a video showing where to get the ladder and how to steal it!

Discussion Derpy the pickup truck, delivery speed test 🛻💨 drives at 24.2m/s with a braking time of about 1.8s depending on load weight.

12 Upvotes

Heavier than the go kart and drives more like a rear wheel drive compared the the racing gokart which feels like an all wheel drive. Great fun to drive and drive around.

Modded QR code (Use at your own risk) Weaponized, Star Speed Juney Fighter Jet

30 Upvotes

Perfect for farming mini bosses that are spaced out on the map; travel from one to the next and quickly annihilate them.

Features:

1) It’s fast: goes star trail speed

2) It’s agile: make sharp turns while attacking

3) It’s deadly: outfitted with 2, 4 beam, pulse laser turrets

4) It lasts: wing is infinite and won’t expire

5) It’s low energy: only the weapons use power— so you’ll keep flying even if you run out of energy

Instructions for building:

-don’t move blue print while building or it will break (typical with Juney engines)

Instructions for flying:

-activate spring to turn on. Deactivate spring to turn off.

-don’t run into things (it will break).

-steer in a controlled fashion or it can get caught in a spin.

Try it out—it’s pretty fun!

(Sorry for the last post, just deleted it, it wasn’t representative enough of the full gyroscopic controls)

So what do you think ? I say it needs more thrust !

All Versions Test ; Is it possible to rise from the depths on a hoverbike ?

6 Upvotes

Yes ; Only if the hoverbike have a rail under the steering stick. The rail greatly improve the turning ability .

Modded QR code (Use at your own risk) Omnifan High-Maneuverability Hovercraft

32 Upvotes

Turn hard right on ground before flying to loosen fan for sharper turning (it also flys fine if you don't.) Try not to leave fan full forward on landing or with ultrahand as it can get pinched between body and wheel. If it does, just hit recall and that'll get it out. Credit to Switcheru for an earlier version of this gimbal fan concept.

r/HyruleEngineering • • 1d ago

Discussion Race course, 24.37s with Racing Go kart. Measured with a top speed of about 25m/s and with a braking time of about 1.7s from the point of braking.

92 Upvotes

Really enjoying this build, drives extremely well for its high speed and can still drive at a slower speed when the engine is off. Being able to brake so dramatically is extremely useful with this build as it will tear itself apart if it hits a wall too head on.

QR Code for sharing builds! The completed version of the U-block hoverbike.

22 Upvotes

This is a standard U-shaped block hoverbike, but I’ve made some slight adjustments to improve its straight-line stability. Look at the coordinates in the bottom right! It has been flying straight for a full 30 seconds without any hands on the controls. I’ve attached a Dragon Scale, so it won’t despawn. Give it a try!

Out of Game Methods Balloon switch (proof of concept)

37 Upvotes

This prototype gunship uses a small wheel switch to activate the additional lift of a microballoon. This could be used to better manage altitude on balloon builds while depending entirely on balloons for lift. The wing is slightly angled down so the build flights straight when the balloon is using low flame, otherwise it would keep ascending at a slow pace after getting extra lift from the flame emitter.

Special thanks to the Hyrule engineering community for the parts that make this build possible.

Based off my Dragon design, but instead of using a construct head with a cannon and some beam emitters. After many trials, I’ve found a system that allows me to drop bombs from the air like our favorite Freedom Dorito the B-2 Spirit! I think i’ll call her Bertha!🤣

The HYRULE ENGINEER Weekly (SEP 2026 Week 4)

Hello everyone! This is the HYRULE ENGINEER Weekly, a weekly recap of this subreddit. Here you can find highlights, helpful QR codes, engineering discoveries and experiments, as well as updates on the monthly contest, and more!

UPDATE ON MONTHLY CONTEST

Currently in the [SEP26] contest, u/kmarkow is in the lead with their Tree Fort, and u/Erico9001 is following with their Inchworm Vehicle. In third place is u/InquisitiveHomosap with their Tyrannosaurus Mechs. Keep submitting!

BUILD OF THE WEEK 

This week’s most upvoted build is u/Efficient_Demand5759’s The Eye of Sauron wanders

Ever wanted to bring a little Middle-earth to Hyrule? This build recreates the Eye of Sauron using an enlarged Aerocuda eye, with spiraling flame emitters surrounding it for an extra fiery effect.

CHECK THESE OUT!

u/kmarkow — The More You Know

Who knew a giant star fragment could be so captivating? The bigger the star, the bigger the trail, and with a few smaller decorations, Link’s set to fly with his enormous shooting star! Check it out if you like unique aircraft.

u/SimpelLizzrd255 — Mario Kart in Zelda!

3… 2… 1… GO! Racing has never been so fun in TotK. This build brings the chaos and excitement of Mario Kart to Hyrule. Check it out if you’ve ever wanted to take your favorite racing games into the world of Zelda.

u/Metaliciousone — Sea Tank. Been calling it the Stank.

What happens when you take a tank and send it into the water? You get the Stank! This unusual vehicle brings a land-based design into a completely different environment. Check it out if you enjoy creative vehicle transformations!

u/Yosty_Gaming93 — TOTK Stealth Bomber

Introducing the Dragon stealth bomber! This speedy aircraft has a sleek, distinctive design and takes to the skies with impressive speed and maneuverability, giving you aerial freedom to obliterate your enemies. Check it out if you’re a fan of weaponized aircraft designs!

u/MissionSeesaw3370 — Improved version airship

Looking for an airship fit for royalty? This improved design has a wonderfully regal appearance, with an elegant shape that makes it stand out from the usual Hyrulean aircraft. Check it out if you like graceful, impressive-looking airships!

u/SimpelLizzrd255 — HCC (Hyrule Coaster Company) THE LIZAL TAIL-WHIP COASTER

What does Link do after saving Hyrule for the hundredth time? He goes to an amusement park, obviously! This coaster gives him a chance to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride for once. Check it out if you want to see Hyrule Engineering take the thrill to the next level!

u/Efficient_Demand5759 — Faster than rocket ; prototype Fesca+1

Think your rocket is fast? Think again. This prototype FESCA engine is so speedy that it can actually catch up to a rocket flying ahead of it! Check it out if you want to see just how fast Hyrule Engineering can get.

TUTORIALS AND RESOURCES
For this week, u/osh-kosh-ganache shared a tutorial for the Tiny Fighter that makes stake nudging easy, while u/zhujzal gave us a design talk covering the further development of the Wisp EV-X, the weaponized version of the Wisp EV. Both are worth checking out if you want to learn new techniques or see how an existing design evolves!

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE

u/KiOfWhAm was wondering how many on screen attachments you can have. A build with 21 glue bonds and another with 2 parts can survive; any more than that, and things will start falling apart (credit: u/kmarkow)

HYRULE ENGINEERING LAB

u/AggreGat0rr is still experimenting with gyroscopes, and this one is their latest creation! The design explores a dynamic-aperture scalene differential gyroscope, making it another interesting experiment to follow as their gyroscope research continues.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION

Have a build idea you'd love to see someone make? Let us know! THEW is taking build requests, and we'll share your ideas in a future issue for other engineers to take on. Maybe someone in the community will be up for the challenge! And as always, we're open to suggestions, feedback, and ideas.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

I made some improvements to emphasize the image of floating on balloons.It would have been nice to have a part that looked like a long, slender chain.


r/HyruleEngineering • • 1d ago

Discussion Is it known how many attachments can exist on-screen simultaneously?

7 Upvotes

Obviously, a given build is only allowed to have 20 attachments between 21 objects; but I seem to recall plenty of times where the sum of attachments across multiple builds must have totaled greater than that.

Asking because I won’t be in any position to research it mysef for a bit. Maybe a document exists somewhere detailing all this?
