Minecart Device Designs
« on: June 13, 2012, 01:34:11 pm »

If and when (okay, when) my current community fortress, Zonnish (it's over in the Community Games and Stories subforum; we've got tons of unclaimed dwarves!) falls, I had a couple ideas about what to do with the next one. One idea Ihad was to make a fortress suspended high above the ground, with goods shuttled from pod to pod via flying minecarts.

1. How fast of rollers, over how long of a "runway," does it take to propel a minecart over how long of a gap?
2. Is there a minecart terminal velocity of some kind?
3. What other neat devices can you think of to make with minecarts?
