@Nik_2213 Any insight regarding any mechanism that includes cranked pistons for steam locomotives could be incorporated in my design. I don't know yet so I'm here more or less to gather any mechanical way to achieve what I'm after. It's a journey to find out what works in the game which could be...
Maybe besides trying to answer my question as it stands I could have better asked a secondary question which is if there are other methods to turn reciprocating motion into rotary motion in any other way then using a rod and a crank.
As long as it can be devised in the game I play it doesn't...
@CWatters
Thanks, didn't expect such a quick reply :)
There is a method in this video game to kick start the initial motion although it will not make the process automatic and probably hazardous the way the game physics work. A minor inconvenience but I was hoping for a automatic mechanism...
This may be the most awkward unexpected question ever concerning the reasoning for which I ask it.
I begin with explaining the reason because I think you should know why I ask this question to begin with so you can understand what underlying basic principle of this mechanic I want to...
