Quote from: Naryar;64909
Chained motors COULD be done and work (although not easily) in real life.


Except nobody would ever do it anyways because it's much easier, stronger, and more efficient to just use one big motor.  Personally I consider chaining motors unrealistic and wouldn't allow it in BBEANS.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

I was going to ban them but as I said let it slide in CC2 but basically its not really possible with wiring in real life

It is realistic... with the electric connection between the 2 motors using a brush on the first motor and a metal ring on the second, somewhat like electric-powered trains do but in a circular manner rather than linear.

But Click's still right - much less efficient.

Couldn't you use two coaxial motors (one shaft inside the other) and a gearbox?
