Setting the LAND SPEED RECORD in Poly Bridge 3!?

Poly Bridge 3 (pb3) is finally here, and with 10 years of professional civil engineering experience, who better than to try and break the land speed record in it!! ...wait what!?

Matt: We need a wide wheelbase.
Also Matt for the rest of the video: Builds vehicles with the smallest wheelbase possible.

It's amazing you did this entire video without realizing adjusting the weight would stop the wheelies

[habilain]

If you want to revisit this, go for a similar idea to the last 'limo driving on top of wheels', but pick the vehicle with the biggest wheels, high horsepower, and make the prop/bridge driving wheels as small as possible - basically trying to gear up the speed. I can't imagine it going well, but the small wheels will rotate a lot faster than the geared down version here.

Fun fact : the delorian is not a sports car, it's made out of stainless steel making it quite heavy. The infamous 88MPH for a delorian to time travel is impossible, the delorian can't reach 88MPH.

really cool video, loved it!! also 13:13 poly bridge 2 does actually have this feature and is called 'edge bisect' + can be toggled haha

Day 60 of asking Matt to play No Mans Sky. 9 days left...

12:35 it just blast itself off the map like in a Smash Bros game complete with the stress meter resetting!

Hi, Mechanical Engineer here. Similar to how a torque-to-speed gear box works, perhaps you should try making a gear-esk shape (with teeth and such), where the vehicle turns a larger gear, which then meshes with and transfers rotation to a much smaller gear. If done right (and due to the game appearing to not account for torque losses with speed increases), it could be possible to get the vehicle going crazy speeds, even with a super slow vehicle.

16:40 the back wheel is behaving exactly like the tires on dragsters, so probably not necessarily a bad thing.

I accidentally stumbled into one of your videos a couple weeks ago, you’ve now become one of my most anticipated YouTube channels. 👍

Hi Matt, just a comment to thank you for your content and particularly on Polly Bridge. I'm a French student, and you have inspired me to work on bridges and to present these masterpieces of engineering 🤌 in my final oral exam. Hope I will convert my examiners to the bridge religion.

This totally absurd episode has got to be one of my favourites!

[wyverncoch]

Boosh nailed it!
It looked great in slow motion, but when you showed it in normal speed, you could realy see how fast it was going.
Obviously the xS in the corner, stands for normal speed. And you were going so fast, that from the perspective of the observer it almost looked like the top of the S had flattened.
(So it looked a little like this x5)

love the poly bridge videos matt keep doing them!!

[xDrexelx]

Just a thought, flip an entire line of limos upside-down, then put a road on it like a conveyor belt. Then put another limo on top of the conveyor. Should double the speed right? :P

[SEB_pl]

actually problem with wheelies is soved by adding more weight as center of mass is usually placed before rear wheel so it will pull rest of vechicle down

I didn't think It was possible to set land speed records on Poly Bridge, but I guess Matt can do them anywhere

[MichaelMoore]

12:33 I have watched these few seconds like a dozen times and I can't stop laughing. 😀

[spawnnumber]

13:11 that is known as “edge bisect”, and in poly bridge 2, you could toggle it by pressing “B”

[ZeChainwarden]

I love your Poly Bridge videos so much (and all the other ones too) that I actually bought PB3 at release and I totally love playing it!
