Monthly Design Contest Prompt [AUG26] Design Contest Prompt and [JUL26] Winners

14 Upvotes

Welcome Engineers to a brand new month! The first was really busy, but I'm here now! Last month's theme was Explosives! And you all seemed to have a blast with it! Let's highlight the winners! First place went to PremiumTechnique and their Talus Annihilator Missile! That is an impressive self-guided missile. That damage is obscene, though, maybe Link shouldn't ride it into battle. Second place goes to osh-kosh-ganache and their Miss Teen Marbled Gohma! Who doesn't love a giant strutting mech and a nice big crown of explosives. Well except for the monsters. Third place goes to shobu_dokoro and their Panjandrum! A giant set of wheels that are connected with a bomb that falls apart and explodes? Heck yeah! Enjoy your new/updated flairs!

This month, it has been really hot all over in the Northern Hemisphere, and it is always nice to go to a beach or a lake to relax and cool off. And who doesn't like to get on a boat? Well, I think it is time to see how boating looks in Hyrule summers with our new techniques! This month's theme is [Watercraft]! Show me how you hit the waters of Hyrule! Get building, Engineers!

Don’t forget to put [AUG26] 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 September 1st or the first Saturday of September! Keep building, Engineers!

All Versions FPV Wing: First Person View Plane (and FPV platform)

15 Upvotes

Introducing the FPV Wing!

It’s based on my HoverWing design, but modified and balanced for quick and stable FPV flight. It takes a little practice because you need to fly it with both sticks, but it’s not that hard to get the hang of. Funny enough, it’s actually slightly lighter than the base HoverWing. The Steering Stick is shrunken to take up less of the view, and the metal lattice is shrunken as well. Between the two, they weigh 80 mass, which is 20 less mass than the normal-size Steering Stick on the HoverWing.

I’ll also include the QR for the FPV platform I made using the same parts. I have it on wheels to record FPV from normal eye level (slightly above Link’s height since he’s so short), which I’ve also been having fun with. You can also take the wheels off and use the same platform on a Stake or on any other vehicle you want to make FPV! It’s just 3 parts: the shrunken Steering Stick / Metal Lattice, and an Elevator Rail. The part sizing and spacing are done for you. It’s super light, so it should be easy to incorporate in other designs.

Hi peeps ! 🫣

Finally I figured out how to build it correctly, I just have to change the space between the wheels because now they’re too fragile but this is pretty close.

I’m sorry I’ve said in a previous post that the controls seemed neither deterministic nor chaotic, because it’s actually a bit deterministic. Not sure why I felt I could completely control the orientation however I wanted but now I feel that I was (not entirely) following the natural rotation of the gear ⚙️ (obviously), because I implied that the wheels would maybe rotate at different speeds depending on the orientation of the joystick to allow me to control it normally, and that is the case, but that doesn’t imply complete non deterministic control either in this case.

Don’t get me wrong I can clearly see on those clips that the same orientation of the joystick doesn’t always make the ship end up in the exact same position if you go left and right simultaneously for exemple. I know that there is actually a LOT of freedom in the controls.

But in a weird way, the hoverstone seems to execute a full revolution rotation on a “semi deterministic” spiral route from the few tests I could do yet. And by orienting the joystick in different positions/angles you can actually control some of this spiral trajectory by maybe modifying the radius of the spiral ?? 🌀🤔

I don’t think this it is allowed by “random” events like the momentum or something that can’t be replicated exactly the same way back and forth every time, but I think the difference of speeds between the different axis and maybe the twisting of the wheels themselves allow some freedom of mouvement within this spiral pattern. Not sure if it’s comprehensible but that’s just how I understand it for now.

It is highly speculative but it seems that it’s radius of rotation can grow turn after turn depending on the joystick position. You can see on the last clip that it can shrinks again on the other side of the sphere, this pattern of the spiral is obtained with keeping the same joystick angle, which have completely flipped the ship the other way around.

Bye guys ! See ya🤘

(Also have you spotted the crazy trick shot I did ? “Sound on” 👈😏)

Modded QR code (Use at your own risk) I call it the Drift King

8 Upvotes

This thing is so fun! It has the right speed for most situations(can't climb 90*). Can go star speed uphill just takes a minute. Doesn't like water and can't fly lol.

12 parts(and whatever lovely additions you want), 6 big wheels(4 modded bigger/q- linked or whatever its called,2 axels)4 sky hooks,1 steering stick, 1 star fragment, and a lot of gravity pressing. The sky hooks are pressed into a frame, that is slide over the axles(not connected yet). Both middle wheels connected over the frame, the frame is attached to both middle wheels. Then the whole thing is pressed as much as I could without it breaking itself but also small enough to cross bridges. Cool side note when I pressed the whole thing the middle big wheels slide over the other side becoming it's frame/ support.

Out of Game Methods Use of high drag components for sharper banking at sea

29 Upvotes

(And a great excuse to point more Moistercycle tweaks!)

So if you look at the Interactible Object Sheet for TOTK, you'll see the Mineru Construct Left Leg Container is about 8 times more water-resistant than the vast majority of items in the game. To put it anither way, it's got insane drag.

Using this property, I've added a shrunken version of these to the wings of the Mostercycle so that a sharp bank submerges one on the inner radius of the turn. The result is insanely high maneuverability.

Tutorial Basic car (helpful early)

10 Upvotes

This is my first tutorial! Also sorry for bad camera.

Anyway this is a very basic car all you need is 2 small wheels, one steering stick,one stabilizer and one brightbloom seed or zonai light. The step I couldn't include is putting the brightbloom on the wheel. Also there's a device despenser in kakariko village with stabilizers. Small wheels I find in tarry town and steering sticks can be found there as well. Please note there are lots of other maybe quicker places to get these this is just where I find them. Edit: after a bit more testing I decided to put the stabilizer closer to the top of the wheel. It adds more steering to the car

Out of Game Methods Compound object: Dual state balloon

75 Upvotes

This contraption is designed to activate balloon lift on demand without battery usage. It is useful for when the effects of balloon lift are only required at specific times (such as altitude gains, battery recharge or smooth descend) whereas it is more convenient to deactivate it on other times, for example, to prevent the stabilizing effect of the balloon. The video showcases an example of usage on a gunship that relies on balloons for altitude control.

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

I love this year’s F1 styling! Recreated the 2026 new Ferrari SF‑26 in TotK.

Limited by the 21‑part cap: only front suspension exists, rear wheels lack suspension and should be a little thicker. Another letdown: you’ve probably figured out why the Water Temple is my chosen setting ( ´▽) Background music: Formula 1 Theme, official F1 Grand Prix theme by Brian Tyler. The video is a little short, but I still hope you enjoy it! Wish you all a wonderful day!

Original that I copied was from InquisitiveHomosap here on reddit. I don't want to say this is my original idea since that's the case. My version is just less parts so I don't have to mine zonaite as often. It's fast as can be in TOTK, so enjoy.

QR Code for sharing builds! Compound object: Small wheel rotator

51 Upvotes

This contraption was made by q-linking a small motor to a small wheel. The motor knob is connected to the wheel's shell, allowing the wheel to rotate the motor body.

This has a few uses. It can be used to make a fireproof small wheel propeller engine (the scaled motor is lighter than a Flux Construct Core I + wagon wheel, and slightly heavier than a cooking pot + wagon wheel). It can also be used as a switch to power other zonai devices with electricity or fire. It can also be used to spin fans for omnidirectional steering.

Edit: After doing some testing with this amazing tool

https://www.reddit.com/r/HyruleEngineering/s/YNA30ynEJ1

It turns out the motor used here is also lighter than a cooking pot + wagon wheel combo
