This page is about something that only exists in outdated versions of Besiege.
This has been broken by updates to the physics engine.
The Paradox Engine
The Paradox Engine exploits the interaction of Slider blocks with gravity and inertia to generate perpetual motion of a rotating frame. It should not be confused with the Hinge Engine.
It is important to note that, as of update v0.02, this exploit has been fixed. The engine no longer functions.
Uses[]
The Paradox engine is a low-power, low-speed and slow-starting engine for powering gears and other mechanisms. Often a boulder is placed to fall onto one side of the engine in order to hasten its rotation up to speed.
