Check out my newest video: kzhead.info/sun/lbOqga2eqJiboas/bejne.html
okay the music was merited this time.
This is awesome! I have an N scale Model Train Layout and I had this idea of making a warehouse with no roof on it so a viewer could see inside of it. I was looking for an idea to make forklifts run around the warehouse looking like they are moving pallets around. This might be a way to make them do that. If I were to add a magnet on the chain in a few places, I could retrofit the forklifts with a steel bearing and place the chain system under the floor of the warehouse. As the magnet runs around, it will attract the steel bearing and the forklift will sit on top of said bearing and get pulled around the warehouse! Maybe put the bearing in the pallet so the forklift gets pulled and stays in a forward direction... Even tho forklifts are rear-wheel steer, I think the effect of moving forklifts will outshine the fact that they aren't steering quite right. especially in N scale!
What is that white thing on the chain
@@davidstevens8519 I bet it's either a speck of paint or a round nub just to show the movement.
@@henrypaleveda7760 ฟฟฟ
The casual shift from genuine methodical problem-solving to 80s childhood fever dream was unexpected but not unappreciated, well played.
No replies?
The Best outro I've ever seen
What?
your comment convinced me to stay with this video, the payoff was huge
What a surprise haha! Just stumbled upon this legendary channel.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen nor expected to see someone design a physical lego puzzle game and then solve 10 levels of it
You haven't seen this channel then I assume, if not I recommend checking out some of the older vids!
@@crayder1100 your’rr’e assumption is incorrect
@@Cheesy_33 Then I'd also recommend checking out Brick Experiment Channel.
@@crayder1100 already seen it
@@Cheesy_33 Well then idk what you mean. 90% of both of the channels' is them making their own puzzles and solving them then making harder puzzles and solving those.
The white dot in the chain was a really nice little touch, letting the viewer see the speed and direction very well!
I agree
No
I’m a mechanical engineer who designs web-fed printing presses. Some highly complex continuous-web paper paths are present in industrial printing and converting equipment. Some so complex and compact that they cannot be re-threaded by hand and require special tools and automated chain/sprocket systems to pull the paper along its path. This video reminded me of the challenges we face at work.
I'm an electrician at a large scale web fed printing company. I'm curious about this because I didn't think there were any manufacturers building new machines. The couple that are left mostly just do refurbished or used machinery. We scratched our R&D division long ago. You must be one of the last engineers left in this particular industry.
@@n16161 Why are such crazy complex mechanical systems even still being created, when everything is digital and easily printed without over the top complex systems? Seems like an outdated design.
@@jaredchampagne2752 often it's the cheaper option to pay repair fees instead of upgrading
Started off pretty easy, then became harder and harder until eventually you transcended into a different dimension, that was beautiful
It was some what hypnotising, yet satisfying wasn't it!
Very average, anyone with a brain could solve it, not impressive in the least.
Ok, I consider myself someone who’s moderately good at Lego builds… but this is another realm entirely. In my experience I’ve learned real well that Lego math/engineering is _incredibly_ finicky. Watching this, with nearly every little thing calculated, that includes the exact wall placements, exact gear placements, knowing exactly how many chain links to use, placing a dot on one just for viewer convenience, and on top of all of that, knowing all that in relation to the layout of the technic brick pieces (note the parts in the floor where there’s no technic hole because the pieces meet), and possibly having to account for that in every single one of those other calculations, this person must have superpowers. I don’t understand any other way something like this could be displayed. And on top of _that,_ they made animations and music videos with it just to flex. This is too good for KZhead. This belongs on national TV.
Fully agree
It is very finnicky, but as someone who has built things like fully teleoperational LEGO Nerf tanks, it's less calculated, at least for me, and more of a "I've got this idea. I've got an idea of what sort of pieces might work. Let's try the idea" and as you get experience your success rate with that approach simply goes up. I think people overestimate how hard it is to begin doing this kind of stuff. It's not easy, but if you're anything resembling "mechanically inclined," it's not that hard to start making really crude stuff that still [does thing].
Agreed my friend.
@@meta_username Agreed. It's more like trial and error rather than calculated and methodical. The thing about lego is that you already have the pieces you need (and plenty of others you don't need).
It seems that he added a random gear after finishing the chain just to give it enough tension to move properly
This would make for a really interesting puzzle game! I can even imagine after beating each level an animation like 4:16 would play and you could watch the chain snake its way through the maze
Ooooh yes I would play that😊
agreed
agreed
I love how straight to the point and no bull this man is. I mean he just opens up the video and is like "L E G O" *places lego gear menacingly*
Techmoan: "If it doesn't work, It's probably a worn rubber belt. Just replace it." Inside of the the machine: 4:35
Speaking of TechMoan, I was wondering if there is some sort of ancient A/V equipment that routes the tape/film/media like this
@@MrHack4never I mean if you have a look at the proper big iMax cinemas that use a 70mm film reel they have a little bit of a mechanism that is pretty cool, sometimes the iMax will even send the film reel up a few floors via pulleys and stuff and all the way back down depending on the setup of the projector.
I like how much personality is in these videos despite the fact that there is no talking and no face present. Also the way that dot is moving around reminds me of a toy I had when I was really young, and this brought back a feeling of nostalgia for me
I didn’t expect this to become one of the tripiest lego music videos I’ve ever seen. I freaking loved it!
Kaleidoscope at the end was brilliant. Appreciate your engineering efforts! Cheers!
What do you do for a living because all of these projects are so intricate it’s mind blowing are you an engineer or something and also do you plan out your builds or troubleshoot along the way?
I thought the second half of this question was gonna be "... Because Lego is expensive and these projects are time consuming, you must have a lot of money and free time" 🤣
@@HonkingHankHill69 his videos may be monetized and get millions of views but they definitely don't bring in enough money considering how infrequent he uploads. Edit: NVM. A million view video makes around 5k and some of them are way past a million views. Even so, I doubt that he doesn't have a different job.
@@whocares4574 agree
This could be a team. My guess is this or these guys saw the success of brick experiment channel and started this channel.
@@mikeyfox2299 Me too lmao, the amount of chain he has he must be balling like crazy to buy all those links.
Who edits these videos? They must take so long, but damn is it worth it. The most satisfying lego content on youtube And *then* the end montage began. oh my goodness.
The montage looked like someone tried out all the possibilities in his editing software but I loved it
@@3NAS_N1 i think it's copied from BEC
The editing was better than the content of the video itself. Wildly impressive stuff.
there are editing programs you can use for clipping the video whenever there is no sound
@@SemperSmash to be honest, not really. the engineering itself was more impressive, the editing is rather easy
This man is a genius. And an artist. And a musician. And a fine taster of music. And an engineer!
the kaleidoscope effect was a nice touch.
Judging from your musical taste and your passion for lego technic, you must be an 80's kid. Only this era had enough passion to last till these days. Good job 😎
I was lucky to be born in a famaly with still such intact older vibes. So I'm born '92 and I'm also loving this. I really feel like an 80's kid. ^.^
I really liked how you were exploring different layouts of your drive chain around the obstacles, under different conditions! You are ingenious! This is an awesome Physics and Mechanical Engineering video, symbolising how gear ratios, velocity ratios, chain tension and mechanical efficiency work in tandem! Thank you for sharing this video!
This guy has an amazing sense of detail for colour and symmetry in his project designs.
SUCH a great ending(!) should still never be overlooked by such a solid video. Well done, OP.
Unexpected synthwave is best wave! Thank you for the amazing Lego content, all your Lego builds are amazing!
I really like what you are doing at 3:05. When working on a problem it is easy to come up with a solution that works and stop there, but going through the process of improving it on other levels is very time consuming. I really enjoy this kind of stuff. Including failed mechanisms and the long testing process makes the solution so much more satisfying.
Your comment reminds me of playing Poly Bridge
I was not expecting that outro segment and I love every second of it.
I love these lego engineering channels, it gives me an idea of what creativity and legos can really do
Amazing vidéo, as usual. Also, at 5:04 : the path made by the belt would make a great F1 track. With lots of curves and straight lines for DRS zones.
I thought thought the same, i was like damn thatd be fun to race around
Itd be really cool but also really long, might have to lower the number of laps or something
low laps first drs zone doesn’t have an overtaking opportunity due to the tight bend into the next, maybe a good one with the next zone, but then it would just be a drs overtaking track like monaco or imola (new cars old tracks don’t work 😢) if the cars were smaller than the right hand side could be pretty interesting but it would never work in a million years with an f1 car. i need a life
Yeah, the whole time I was thinking of how that little white dot going around a curvy black path reminds me of a little car driving around a racetrack
@@CallyWasHereOfficial go karts maybe? I bet there's some professional competition somewhere lol
The edit was better than usual, and then the music began. Ladies and gentlemen, we've been cannonballed to heaven
Loved that little synthwave performance at the end :D
Love that little grey bit you added one to help us keep track of it.
4:16 was so satisfying
GROOVY
hi groovy
honestly, if i could get something like that with a quiet motor and some kind of decorated chain, it would make a neat little decorative thing, watching the sole white dot get tugged around was pretty nice
That edit at the end reminded me of KZhead videos from the late 2000s - 2010s, it was really nostalgic! Also, AMAZING Creations!
This was pretty satisfying at first, then it became REALLY satisfying.
I see puzzle game potential here, though solving the linkage and tension requirements in code might be a bit tricky.
I see TV competition show between colleges promoting STEM in education, that would actually be watched by millions, sponsored by Lego of course.
Computers are just really fancy physics, so it's difficult but not impossible. Perfectly doable, and probably slightly easier than you think. Especially if your focus is not a perfect simulation.
make it a game where you take turns, one person puts down a 4x1 block and the other has to solve it. switch every other round, no impossible things (you have to be able to do it yourself) whoever fails to do it loses board game btw
4:05 audi: you're hired! :-)
Fully expected a ball of churning eyes at the end there and a hearty, "B E N O T A F R A I D"
Every one of these Lego channels I've seen is unique and demonstrates very creative use of basic physics. This one also is no exception. Thanks for posting your work. You are learning the basic elements of design, construction, trouble shooting and so on. It would interesting to see where you are in a few years.
That music part at the the end was awesome! Didn't expect that
The effort put into these videos is insane. Nice work! 👍
Engineering is ALWAYS DOPE! But the music video at the end was SUPERB! 🥹
this was immensely satisfying in a way i did not expect
The music and effects came out of nowhere. Let's go on a Lego trip.
Ingenious lego build as always
i could watch this for literally days without getting bored in any kind of way
I literally cried at that beautiful art show. Thank you
Somehow this is satisfying as hell man
genius! I wish I thought of this idea!
I would love this as an actual tabletop game!! This is SO COOL.
I'm glad I stayed for the whole video... you really treated us at the end there!
This episode is cool ! Keep it up man !!
5:48 lego kinda high ngl
Now this is what lego is about. Engineering builds to test peices and learn more about its workings and discover potential new build techniques by pushing a peice to its limits. Amazing thing that lego is.
The combination of Lego and psychedelic visuals shows that you're a man of distinguished taste.
This is amazing, do you think you could design a lego clock?
yeah, with a pendulum
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
The little white dot to follow makes this 1000x more satisfying to watch
That outro. Unexpected but awesome!!
I think you're just flexing how many chain links you have lol
I’d have to agree. This reminded me about how much I really need more chain links… 😂
I sat here, thinking to myself, "Why am I watching this?" only to be completely mesmerized by the Outro... Damn. :)
Whew, a few of those really threw me for a loop. I'm glad I clicked on this link!
I was vibing hard during that montage
I love watching the little white dot as it moves around the track
I love how you have everyone the feeling of a fever dream mixed with and overdose at the end of the video
I love how the video unexpectedly turns into a music video. It’s as if the creator worked on it so long he started hallucinating and shared his vision.
That end segment was amazing
Who edits these videos should be rewarded ! Coolest lego content on youtube, coolest outro !
This guy doesn't need puzzle games. Puzzle games need him.
The white dot on the chain was a nice touch, made it easier to visualize
absolutely magnificent
Brilliant.... It was like watching someone play a mobile puzzle game 😅. Would love to see more of this in future. Maybe bigger and way more complex 😍
i know have a newfound appreciation for the reliability of the timing belts in our cars engines
love the experimental visual effect. Pleas focus in future for that look so speacel! It would be a nice intro!
The final bit is genuinely one of my favorite moments in youtube history
This is my favorite of your videos just for the bit after the final level
Even the people at Lego must be watching this in order to get inspired and be amazed (wow, didn't know Lego could do this)
This would make a neat Lego Technic puzzle game
"TOM! When are we going to get those shipments in?" "As soon as the conveyor belt makes one full rotation." "Alright, when will it do that?" "I DON'T KNOW SIR!"
With some matching colors you could make it look like a mouse solving a maze :). Very cool!
your videos scratch an itch in my brain i didnt even know i had. love these
I could see the end appearing in one of Ault Swim's "Off The Air" series, love it.
This is hands down the greatest entertainment I have ever been blessed with.
The synced music video at the end was the best.. 80s all dayyyy
Came back to this video remembering the beauty that starts about halfway through
Those little Lego motors impress me with every video see
Man, listening to this video in the background is oddly soothing, lol. "Tik, tuk, tik, tuk, tik, tuk, tik, tuk, tik, tuk, whirIRirIRirIRirIRirIRirIRirIRir"
Was not prepared for the epic music and kaleidoscope show
I've never been able to connect with ASMR videos but this right here really gets my noggin tickling!
who knew something as simple as this can keep me entertained
The end of the video is the best part
The casual shift from fixing a problem to acid trip got me laughing thank you
Quite possibly the most expensive subject material in all of KZhead. Brillant!
thats genuinely an awesome way to make a music video visualiser dang
Genius! This ought to be made into a game.
That ending was a actual masterpiece
Those outro shots got me thinking - what would these look like under thermal imagining cameras? Would be fascinating to see where the friction is building up!
this looks like itd make a great concept for a puzzle game
You can do some super cool Rube Goldburgh machines with this chain, your driveshaft videos, your gear videos, and all otherworldly engineering knowledge you have
It was absolutely fantastic to be engrossed in watching the white dot on the strap move. 😂
The ending reminded me of a song because of the vibe and the black and yellow. "Stealth Playback - Vintage"
Might be the most satisfying lego video i watched
you know, this could actually make a very interesting puzzle video game.
