My current project (of the last year or so) is a swinging ship that is powered by spinning tires against the hull of the ship, just like the real rides.
I don't think anyone else has done this.
The hull/vehicle is currently under-finished, but functional.
The manual flywheel mechanism works, but destroys a crucial part (hint: red rod) with overuse.
I hope to fix this before posting any final pics or instructions.
I will post pictures of my prototype stages first, so you can see my thought process.
I think my main problem is my flywheel mechanism hasn't changed much since version 1 (the current version is technically version 3, but any changes I make will make it version 4), and the total weight of the ride has gone up exponentially.
If there's enough interest, I will consider making instructions.
