That piston design is brilliant. Backyard rollercoasters will soon be usurping swimming pools, trampolines and jungle gyms as the new norm in home recreation.

Can you make a dedicated video to just the launching mechanism

Can you do a video on just the piston?

This is freaking great. I totally need to do this

If you had the budget, EMT pipe would be killer for the rails! Would require pipe bending, but would hold up much better. Also, for safety, I'd also add bigger bottom casters. Rubber bumper at the end also instead of block of wood, as well as use of something over the piping on the last 6' to add friction to the rollers if this thing goes to far up!

You are awesome on making coasters 🔥

This is very cool!

I thought I was the only UK KZreadr building a Backyard coaster until I watched Will's video, your coaster looks great, I love that it's launched as well!

Could you please reply with a list of all the materials you used to make the launch piece?

It looks like you used dense foam washers to seal the air at the piston. What would you think of a round seal flap, made of thin plastic sheet, attached to the piston, like a section of a very shallow angled cone, pointed aft so the pressure drives the flappy seal against the inner wall of the cylinder, without causing too much friction? I'll try to make a drawing.

@WillFromLondon

4 жыл бұрын

I ended up swapping out the foam for a leather cup, like a bicycle pump. It sealed very well but needed a small relief valve behind the piston in order to allow it to slide back without building up pressure.

I’m currently starting the construction of a launch coaster! :) Just a quick question, how did you connect the fittings and the hose to the tank and the piston? Many thanks and hope you and your family are well 👍🏼

Hey, quick question. How did you bend the track, was it just from the force of the wood, or did you mold it? Thanks.

Try using linear induction motors for the launch.

Cool

They actually work with a cable that pulls the car through the launch track

I am starting construction this Friday and i have a question, what is on the back of the PVC piston and the back of the PVC tank?

For the track did you just use regular PVC pipe? What size did you use and also how did you bend it. Some people have used ABS pipe. Do you think that would be better for a launch coaster like yours? I have built the piston but I am ready to get started on the track.

@WillFromLondon

4 жыл бұрын

callan R I just used 40mm 10Bar (1.5” Sch40) for the track, and made 5 metre (16’) sections. I didn’t do anything to bend the track, the PVC is flexible enough to just form into the shape you need as long as you aren’t doing tight bends. Then a wooden spine made from 1x2s was added to strengthen the whole thing up. Send me a link when your builds done! I’d love to see it.

They can actually use more than a cable those kind with a cable is a hydraulic launch but there is also a air launch,LSM,LIM luanch

cool

Very cool, sir. Question: could a steam-powered catapult ( like ones used on older aircraft carriers) work? I rode Montezuma's Revenge (no longer there) @ Knott's Berry Farm in the 70's. My inner-child is curious.

You coul’ve used a system similar to Top Thrill Dragster where there is a magnet on the underside of the car, which “connects” to a magnet on the track. He magnet on the track will then launch forward taking the car with it. This would likely be more expensive, but it could travel faster, and the design would be simpler (The train wouldn’t need a bumper for the piston to push).

Dragster doesn't use magnets for launching; it uses a steel hook called a "launch dog" that drops down from the 3rd car of the train into a shaped groove in the catchcar the brakes are no-contact magnetic, though.
