perfect loop

[coasterbuzz36763]

has anyone made a perfect loop where the gs are the same all throughout the inversion?

[xX-Linde-Xx]

I don't think that is possible, unless the speed is the same throughout the loop.

[coasterbuzz36763]

well, maybe if the top of the loop is smaller in radius than the bottom radius of the loop

[xX-Linde-Xx]

Why would you wan't that.

Just make a loop with 2 segments and see how it comes out.

The only way such a loop would be possible would be for a one car train and to have the top a much tighter radiu than the bottom. As the train gets longer, it gets less possible to paintain constant g's with natural acceleration. It would also require more than 2 segments, to be realistic.

I can't see any reason why "perfect loops" should pull constant Gs. Also, as already stated above, this would only work for a single row of riders in a single car train. Additionally it has to be noted that ride excitement in general results from well designed *changes* in G-forces, so existing loops already will do a great job in providing just these.

 

And BTW: for designing any reasonable real-life loopings, do start here:

(first attempts recommended with approx 18-24 segments only...)

 

just my two cornu halves...

GOne a bit saddistic, red?

Damn, I got uncovered...

top of corkscrews would make ya feel same feeling like on the earth without any changes on g forces.
