Category: Building A Roller Coaster

It is the second to last video in this series and we will discuss the tracks roll angle for turning and track location. There is a lot of trigonometry here, but I've managed to simplify...

Now that we have the basics and can make a 2D roller coaster that is smooth, let's kick this thing into high gear and make some turns. It's not as difficult as you would...

Now that we have a way to determine the G forces at any point, we can use our existing point and the G force to calculate the next point. Get ready for some sweet rides and MATH! Calm down, I've...

As we continue our journey on how to create buttery smooth transitions, we need to consider what the radius needs to be at any point and the corresponding velocity. Both of these are easily...

We've all been on them, jerky roller coasters that bounce you around. They are uncomfortable, un-enjoyable and you never want to ride them again. Well, there is some math we can do to get...

Metal fabrication is unfamiliar to most of us. Fortunately it comes with cool tools that create fire and sparks! As I begin to cut and prep tubes for welding, let me show you the steps...
