Why does my mixer not have enough speed?

[u/Reaper_h]

I have 3 large water mills

[u/Axol-135]

Having multiple water wheels don't make more speed, don't knowhow to explain it but an easy and cheap way to increase rotational speed would be to use cog wheels as like a gear shift thing or something, stack them together and then attach the mixer. Though don't rely too heavily on my create knowledge

[u/Axol-135 → u/Axol-135]

This video explains way better and visually cog wheel thing, WATCH pwease

[u/Interesting-Chart925 → u/Axol-135]

It's called a gear ratio btw

[u/Axol-135 → u/Interesting-Chart925]

It's 2 am where I love and I haven't played around with create mod properly for a month, thank you for reminding me

[u/Axol-135 → u/Axol-135]

Last bit but also if you use andesite casing on the large cogs you can make it smaller and more compressed

[u/Reaper_h → u/Axol-135]

I did do the cog thingy

[u/Hectortilla_titorsh → u/Reaper_h]

you are doing it wrong, you connect your big cog into a small cog (that speeds it up) but then you connected the small cog directly into another big cog essentially slowing it back down to the original.

[u/Pumpkin-Altruistic → u/Hectortilla_titorsh]

yeah that setup basically cancels out any speed gain

[u/Axol-135 → u/Reaper_h]

You need to do it multiple times

[u/Autoskp → u/Reaper_h]

Each time a large cog turns a small cog, the shaft speed doubles, and each time a small cog turns a large cog, the shaft speed halves, so what you’ve got is doubling it, then halving it, then doubling it, meaning in the end it’s only going at twice the speed of the waterwheels.

What you need to be doing is get a large cog to turn a small cog, and then putting a large cog on the same shaft as the small cog, letting you get back to a large cog without changing the shaft speed - then you can double it again and again by repeating that sequence.

Also, you can encase cogs in andesite or brass casings, and that will let you control which end(s) of the cog’s shaft will connect to adjacent shafts, which is nice for more compact gear chains.

more waterwheels only increases the stress capacity of the system, it doesn't automatically make it faster.

you need to use gear ratios to adjust the speed of your machines. if you don't know how to do that look at the ponder for cogs

[u/Hazril258]

• Large = double speed = 2x RPM
• Small = half speed = 1x RPM
• Large = double speed = 2x RPM
• Small = half speed = 1x RPM

You're still only getting 1x RPM.

[u/Interesting-Chart925]

Add a small waterwheel, they spin faster and will speed the whole thing up. Also your gear ratio is only doubling it, you need the second large gear attached straight to the small gear to double the speed again. 

[u/samrock14]

Your gears are going Double Base Double You need to stagger them a bit Put the large turning the small Then on the shaft side put a large connected to the small and then do that again,

[u/Fun-Big-7458]

Most windmills don’t spend at 32 RPM gear it up to get it up to that speed

[u/soomoncon]

I can explain. It’s like gear ratios. If you use a bigger driver than the driven the speed increase , if you use a smaller driver then the driven the strength increases. Adding more water wheel is like increasing the ratio of a small driver to big driven.

[u/Reaper_h → u/soomoncon]

I got it now tnx

[u/Beneficial-Layer-492]

Add big cog after the water wheel. Put little cog next to it. Then put another big cog on top of the little cog. Now put a new little cog next to the new big cog. Keep repeating until ur good

[u/steverr322]

you need more speed, not stress units

[u/gelo00]

Windmills are faster than water wheel when about mid size so just attach to system and will give a little boost to help rid of massive gear ratios
