Brick experiments has lifted 200 pounds with a single motor. The main issue you ran into was no additional gearing/tackle, and of course just the lego axels having limited strength. It's a good start and I'd love to see your motor power things once you have a better output system
Yup, I found it so funny when he was saying he made the strongest motor, while I was thinking of the time Brick Experiments lifted an entire rock
@@mickys8065 if you want to be pedantic his motor is stronger, it's just he did nothing to show it's potential. Also tbf, it's far from the strongest as there is a straight up lego car motor so..... idk, didn't wanna bully the man in his own comment section. But also, nowhere near close to the strongest
and that was whit the smaller engine
@@lordderppington4694 exactly, brick experiments just had a better gearbox, not motor
Not only that, he also lifted 226 Kilograms (in theory)
As an engineer I can tell you: with one of these you can't move a car But if you build 2 of these motors they could actually move you in a small rideable thing like a go cart. Lego built a full size driveable Bugatti Chiron, they used 1.500 L-Motors which produces a torque of 50-74 Newtonmetres.
Check My youtube built a rideable boat with outboard motors
Damn, just stock or did u overvolt the motors?
@@research_ai8740 I didn't do anything 😂 Lego technic itself did this. And no, they didn't overvoltage it. Their goal was to nearly only use stock Lego parts
I like the math behind thst
@@JohnDeere2025 yes
Who’s gonna tell him that no matter how strong a motor is, you can always outperform it using gear ratios, leverage and pulleys?
Lets just let him believe, ok?
BEST COMMENT
Say youve got two motors, one of which puts out 50lbs-ft of torque at 1000rpm, and the other puts out 100lbs-ft of torque at 1000rpm. While, yes, you can hook up the first motor to a 2:1 gearset to make it put out the same amount of torque as the second, itll also be half the speed. Same torque, half the speed, half the ability to do work.
@@Kevin-dt9xm ok but here what was important wasnt the amount of work done over time aka power, it was the amount of work aka torque
@@sigmamale4147 my point is, with a more powerful motor, you can have the same amount of torque, but at higher speeds. Two motors lifting the same weight, the more powerful one is gonna lift it faster.
You could literally do the same thing with 1 Lego motor. You would just need a high torque compounded gear ratio, similar to what you have done at 8:03 but the opposite way around. But what you did is not completely useless because just making a very high torque gear ratio would make the last gear spin very slowly, you made the last gear spinning quickly while still having a lot of torque.
So... you could not do the same thing with 1 lego motor. You just contradicted yourself. Yeah, you can make an arbitrary amount of torque using even the tiniest motor using gearsets, but the advantage to having all 8 motors is that for a given amount of output torque, you have 8 times the speed, as compared to 1 motor putting out the same torque.
The motor can lift 20 lbs, and I cannot curl a 20lb dumbbell with my left arm. I'd say this machine has *superhuman* strength.

Yeah when I heard him say the strongest lego motors I couldn't help but think of that thing. Had over 2000 lego motors in it.
@@MarcSteen so the most powerful motor is the balance between more motors more batteries and less mechanical friction? I thought there’s some design that makes a single motor more effective

I think if you were to redo it with with those custom metal axles you could really push the motor to it’s limits. You should also maximise torque over speed by making the gear transfer multi-level, where each gear transfers to a bigger gear, then a smaller gear on that same axle transfers to a bigger gear. It’ll allow you to drive way more with the motor
As an engineer, I can give a couple of tips: 1. Use gears connected in parallel on the same axis. This will increase the strength several times. 2.Under high load, the axles also bend. You can use the holes in the gear to connect it to the load. 3.Reduce the load on the intermediate gears. Add gears and gearboxes separately for each engine. Exclude all gears connecting the motors together except the central one. 4. Reduce the speed in favor of power - increase the gear ratio with a multi-level gearbox, similar to the one at the end of the video. I'm sorry if I made a mistake in words - I'm an engineer, not a linguist.
Should I make 3 more motors and build something rideable??!
HECK YEAH that would be sweet!!! As long as it had some flames on it
That would be cool!😎
Yes!!!
Yas
Someone did! There is a bugatti just from lego, its also powered by lego motors
Yes, build three more! In a sense, you've basically combined all the torque from each motor. I think it's safe to bet that it's even stronger than the metal motors you find in RC toys
Not at all. Metal beats plastic
@@jeeperzcreeperzz what if you use metal gears and axles
Make 8 and copy what you did inside of machine to make 9 and a half times the torque because you made the machine bigger and used the 8 machines to get 9 and a half torque. hope it makes sense
@@gachaiscool7573 honestly that makes zero sense..

A thoughtful commentary on the wonders, but also the dangers, of technological progress. When he said "it's L-motoring time," I cried. The apocalyptic ending was fearsome. Truly one of the films of all time.
@bobot Like Disney, I will milk Marvel franchises until they're dustier than the inside of my wallet.
I’m not sure how hard it would be but I would love to see around four of these put together to make a Lego engine for a functional Lego car
I wonder if there's a point where the friction caused by extra gears counteracts the torque created by extra motors? Like if there's an upper limit on how much you can get out of Lego motors
yes there is a limit, if you tried putting it through a single axel the axel isn't actually that strong and would fail

Wtf did he say..
@@danielvillegas1057 Does too many gears become too resistant for motor to rotate? I tried using baby talk in this but I just couldn't do it.

Would love to see a tutorial on how to make the finished motor!
No matter how strong you make the motor the weak point is the output shaft. There is a limit in the torque it can handle...
Yep, so you need to make the last bits out of thicker metal...
@@MrBlaDiBla68 or use a large gear as the last output gear, and you can have multiple shafts coming out of the gear so wouldn’t be using only one, but up to five shafts to handle the torque
God so loved the world That He sent HIS only begotten SON that whoesoever believeth on HIM Should not perish but have everlasting life
You can definitely make a viable vehicle motor from these, the issue is the output shaft is so small and flimsy it would just break or twist before it could move anything. If you can find a way to make a thicker sturdier shaft, it will hold up to more torque.
yeah nobody wants a small and flimsy shaft, i always want my shafts thick and sturdy
You can buy aluminium or steel techniq shafts
5:17 "its a bit sturdier its quite a bit larger" got me laughing in the central square
Put 2 opposite of eachother, connected to a diff. Your power will double, and make up for whichever assembly has the first failing motor. Then, feed it into the greatest reduction train that you can fit between the two enclosures. Have an output at a 90 degree angle. Build 3 more, and have them all feed into the same reduction gear. That would be a start. I'll buy Lego stocks in the meantime 😆
Brick Experiment Channel does a lot of Lego gear ratios. He's got metal axles that he uses sometimes because they don't bend and twist as easily. You could check those out
He did a video twisting one of those :P
@@Hoggaforfan I know, I was super impressed that he was able to! I assume of it was used in this scenario then it wouldn't bend
he also lifted a 200 pounds rock with a single motor.
@@pleeppants1712 Yup and it exceeds more at theoretical 220 kg more than 440lb
8:28 assuming each motor is running at 300 rpm, the output is 8100 rpm 300 x 1/5 x 40/24 = 100 (rpm of the “mega” motor) 100 x 3/1 x 3/1 x 3/1 x 3/1 = 8,100 (final speed)
6:10 this sounds like a high powered drone
While watching this I got a giant wave of nostalgia, remembering when I played with legos all the time 🥲
Won't be as powerful as the Bugatti, Lego made. It had 200~ motors in it
Instead of just using one stick for an axle, since that middle wheel only use it to stay positioned, it doesn't need to take any of the stress of the power transmitted to it. All you need to do, is use that gear's holes in the outer rim to connect to whatever you are spinning to make it stronger and let the gears connecting to it take that stress instead of the main axle. I know what I'm saying isn't really clear... I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to explain it. I could draw an example... But I think the modification I have in mind could make this about 2 to 4 times more resistant to breaking down. A machine is only as strong as its weakest part.
That and doubling up the gears on their interlocking points, instead of one, use two gears every time they meet, way less likely to slip or break off teeth
Hit this man up to turn this into a lego set
POV:your an engineer and your addicted to lego:
YES! make a CAR using four of those on each wheel! I think it would work!!
Yeah. I hope he will do that
I can’t wait for this to start too!
2:34 looking the motors and the gears rotating is so satisfying
To lessen the chance of the rope snapping the lego axle is to put the rope on 2 spots on the axle to displace the weight better so when lifting itll be a V
Can’t wait for this to start 😁
I too
@cristine stop
ok, thanks for your 18+ spam. again, another new YT Spambot Content User is "Esnar the gamer" for reporting this bot.
The main problem with this motor is just what it is mostly made of, use iron or heck, even steel and its strength will increase by a lot more
Cool job. You got 8 large motors. Im not sure that 6 buggy motors is weaker. I got 6 buggy motor ripsaw- i think it got even more power in it. With 4 buggy motors i broke world speed record (50km/h). They all connect to the same axle
I like that you pixeled the motor in the Intro, but showed it already in the thumbnail
Tip, you can drastically decrease chances of stripping your gears, just by adding more contact area between any connected set of gears. How can you do this? By using multiple of the same sized gears on the same axle. The more gears you add, the more torque they can handle. Basically just take however many gears you want and pair them up in the same way you would connect 1 gear pair. Im high right now but i have a masters in engineering, i just hope u understand what i mean😂
I understood.
i feel you homie
makes complete sense friend
Besides being really powerful, that motor looks pretty cool as well! Can't wait to see if you make a rideable thing with it.
Dude, you need to use the extra four holes in the last turning gear if you want to use the force that is beyond the main-axle. For the next video
Cool video! Consider coupling the output using multiple axles through the extra holes in the gears . I.e 5 axles on the larger gears. It may only need 1 axle to "ride" on, and the others to transmit the power. Does that make any sense?
Request: Build a Martian Tripod out of LEGO.
Nice video, I did the math and it looks to be a 1:81 gear reduction and 22,036 rpm (if the motors are running at their full speed of 272 rpm) The super motor has a gearing ratio of 3:1 with 91 rpm.
So now you should combine this motor as a little one of next hight system, it will be cool if you designed it in the same way :3
You should remake this but with metal axles, metal gears and L motors
Cool idea. But Lego already made the most powerful Lego motor bundle for the 1:1 Lego Bugatti Veyron.
More gears on a single axle! That will help your axle twisting issue as the forces will be more evenly distributed on said axle, since it has more contact points.
That fixed my Battlebot, so it definitely would work.
You should rebuild this using all metal Lego axels and gears
"No matter what we do to it it's just bending the axle the motor is more powerful- like I can't figure out a way to stop this motor" ...You personally built a button onto it
You should try putting the motors in front of each other so they turn the same axis. Also try to reduce the number of gears to reduce friction power loss.
One way to strengthen the axle maybe would've been to attatch lego peice 4185 straight to the cog, then run axles through all the holes and use these along the entire thing, this would give a VERY strong axle that would be highly unlikely to break
bro gave me more knowledge art engineering than an actual engineering class
I think you should replace some of the Lego axels with metal axels so the axels are stronger and harder to bend
That is smart 🧠
I can imagine just replacing an existing car engine with a whole bunch of these things
the lego technic team did. they built a full scale bugatti chiron that had a fully lego motor
they did, lego made a bugatti chiron with lego moters :D
@@erickstrainworld5488 yea they had like 500 lego motors
I learned a new word today restertified :P
When you put the 8 small motors together to make the big motor, you need to make 8 big motors and put them together now and make a super motor.
What is the best Lego motor set and who would be the best seller to purchase from?
You don't increase power by going down in RPM but increasing torque. Power will be the same, always. Unless you put in more powerful motors.
Not exactly. Electric motors make more torque the closer you get to 0 rpms with a given current input. Basically, the more load on the motor, the more powerful it gets. If a motor stalls, max torque has been reached and is acting on the load. It's why electric cars are so quick off the line but top out at lower speeds. This concept isn't really relevant to what he's doing, but it's still interesting.
@@jacobg5122 I'm not talking about the power of a motor, but the rotational speed. If you use gears to decrease the speed of output, then yes there is more torque, but less speed. Vice versa is the same, use gears for higher output speed means less torque.
I wish I had the parts to build that motor because i'm always building things and my motor is not strong enough!
I can relate this one
Parents: LEGO IS KIDS TOYS Him: Hold My Spiky Brick
Maybe make 4 more And combine THEM into a much bigger motor with (hypothetically) more power
fantastic build. If you split the load by having two spools, it may help. Or using a pulley? Anyway great to watch, love the power switch idea, very cool 👍🍺🇬🇧
A good test of the force it gives is to attach a lever and have it push a scale
you should try using a steel Axel, it would be way stronger than the plastic ones. Brick experiment channel snapped one using only Legos and two geared up Lego motors so it could still break with that kind of torque, but you should definitely try it.
Technic system is limited in scale by it's dependence on axles for power transmission. Some time in the future I would like to see lego release parts that facilitate the creation of stronger central drives, as in most creations there will be a point where a single axle will bear the load of much power/torque. Something new type of reinforced axle parts would be nice.
BUILD A RIDEABLE CAR YEA
What did that poor globe ever do to you? I thought the globe had already established it's insane dominion.
That was awsome. I'm building an eight motor engine myself but in V shape and it has tremendous power. I like seeing videos like this because pushing the limits of Lego technic is something incredible. Great idea is the biggest step. Like you said you could build a real car with those motors. They already did, lifesize Bugatti chiron. It was incredible and it's only limitation is that parts were made out of plastic. But imagine to build a lifesize technic car made out of metal parts and all other materials that are used to build a regular vehicle. That would be the top of what Lego technic is capable of. I think that kind of car could reach 100+ km per hour easily.
Next we just need eight of these! (I Would actually like to see that)
It is amazing to see that this video make lot of views! Congratulations! I make lego stop motion . You can see it .
Thanks! I have seen it! Killer thumbnails.
I request that you build a road builder (a machine that literally builds STURDY AND USABLE roads)
this is a bot.
My hypothesis: it won’t be fast, but it the torque will be multiplied by the amount of motors
Try using an XL lego motor as they are extremely powerful. And try using buwizz as it gives 2x power and 2x speed
yes indeed you definitely built the strongest motor it's not 100 lb but 20 lb is very successful this is a very strong machine!
Thanks for the idea with the 100lbs!! You ROCK!
Actually the strongest LEGO motor is the one on the life size Bugatti Chiron that the LEGO technic team built. That motor was able to move the entire car on its own at a considerable speed. Truly amazing
SPEED AND POWER!!!
"As you can see, it sounds very weak." Yeah big brain time 😂
You know if you built 3 of these together in a Diamond Shape and connected each Single spinning Center Axle to a Wheel. You could Put a Belt on it. And run a 4th Wheel of that Diamond Shape using the inside Hub with a stronger support of Circular Plugged connectors. which would give you added connections, A stronger Axel Shaped area to work with. and 3 Times the Torque.
‘’ THE ENGINEER ‘’
Me when i am bored be like :
same!
I’m sure someone already mentioned this, but using dbl beveled gear and steel axles will take it to the next level.
You could attach several axels to the center gear. I suspect that's part of why those gears have multiple holes to begin with.
4:03 This is basic knowledge...🤦♂️
Something the average viewer does not know
Ikr
i love when you look at your camera screen
Imagine building a car with that!
Eight of these megamotors combined together to make the ultimate ultra motor
Its correct to say this is powerful for a lego motor, but it needs to ratio for more speed or get a steel lego axel if it can't handle the torque to stall the motor
Imagine using this in a Lego technic car
Build more MEGA MOTORS and make a Lego car. That would literally be crazy awsome.
Piper:❤your videos 9:39
Please make a life sized rideable Lego car
build it with metal lego pieces (not sure it there are originals, or only offmarket). It will surely take care of broken axles and gears. Maybe even make more torque :D
you should try using the motor in a lego veichle and see how fast it goes because a real one with that power (and maybe more) will be dangerous
Smoke and flames coming out of your head was a nice touch!
After calling your engineer friend, his knowledge gave it enough power to easily destroy the axle that held the gear through a torsion failure. Nice
The weak link will always be parts such as the flimsy plastic axles. You can always sacrifice speed for torque, which you had to ask an engineer about, for some reason.
You can also try putting different sized gears next to each over, then wrap it in a lego chain/belt. Because this is unable to spin, so if you see this comment, please try it
The weakest point is the axle of final gear. I am not sure how to make it stronger. Maybe more points that bears the axle, put something with a bigger radius on that axle through several connections. Or seat a gear on a bigger (or stronger) shaft.
what a speedy lego motor.
I love some well used Swagger Stagger
Make 4 of those and then a decent sized car trust me AWESOMEEEEE
the wall clock reads 2:58 Assuming he started at 0:00, he has had enough time to listen to Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea" 60 times in a row without stopping.
I would say try making one super strong but super slow with a bunch of gear reductions.
