I am planning to use an engine to generate enough electricity on our island to run our lab complex. I am thinking this will be enough. It is big enough for you to stand on the pistons! I started with a VW Type 1 design, but decided to make it an I-4 and vertical. Pretty custom, as you can see by the just ok port designs :D I made some parts transparent so you can see the details.

Tell me what you think, or come see it in Ginko (220,40)

So THAT's what you were trying to show me, Brian! Looks very promising, is it animated too? :)

It is not animated yet. I am thinking about trying to partially script it, but not sure how far I can get. I made a very simple version and tried to get physics working on it, but it sent a piston flying around the sim......is havoc 2 really that good? :D We shall see.

The SL Department of Environmental Controls will be by shortly to perform an emissions test. As you are probably aware, greenhouse gas emissions has become a serious problem in Second Life, and it is crucial that we ensure that this monstrosity is in compliance with all environmental regulations.

Sincerely,

Ace Cassidy
Senior Engineer
Second Life Department of Environmental Controls

When idling it releases hydrocarbons at a rate of 1050 PPM and carbon monoxide levels are at 18%, and I have learned those number are completely legal in Albonia....can't touch me coppers.
