Building a Lego-powered Submarine 2.0 - magnetic couplings
This RC sub has magnetic couplings to transmit torque through the walls. No need to drill holes = no leaks. At the end I test it in a swimming pool. Enjoy!
Differences to the first sub • Building and Testing a...
-rectangular hull (need flat walls for magnetic couplings)
-snap-and-lock lid (more reliable, less leakage)
-bigger motors, more motors, more propellers
-depth control using propellers (IMO more accurate compared to a syringe ballast tank)
-lead pellets for ballast (easier to adjust, both shape and weight, compared to steel plates)
-captain (thanks everyone for pointing out this obvious missing part :))
The submarine specs:
Displacement: 2.7 kg (6.0 lb)
Test depth: 1.5 m (4.9 ft)
Hull: glass food container (IKEA 365+ 1.8l), plastic lid
Motors: 3x Lego XL-motor (8882-1)
Magnetic couplings: K&J Magnetics R844-N52 neodymium magnet, TapeCase 423-5 UHMW Tape
Propellers: Lego propeller blade (2952), Lego liftarms
Radio control: 27 MHz controller dissembled from a toy submarine (Zantec Mini RC U Boot), L298 H-bridge to drive motors
Power supply: 9V Lego battery box for the motors, 3.7V Li-Po for the RC
Onboard camera: Faironly Firefly Q6
Pressure sensor: Jolly Logic Altimeter One

This maybe unrelated but it reminds me of Mark Rober

The fact that this submarine captain didn’t even bat an eye when his sub was approaching crush depth tells me everything I need to know. He’s a seasoned sailor.
Man was ready to go down with the ship
If that isn’t brave idk what is, This man here Is a beast
The look in his eyes too! Not frightened of anything...
He is the most professional sailor i have ever seen!

I wish every school kid had the opportunity to tackle this project - great engineering, fantastically represented.
As a kid I was part of a robotics club , and we actually got sent out to a competition specifically to build a submarine in a tupperware like this just not with Lego.

I love how Lego’s dedication to making every lego peace the finest and most perfect product enables this kind of engineer initiative to succeed This is a nice symbol of market, which allows some kids’ toys to reach this kind of quality
most perfect products lol well it's pieces of plastic coming out of machines it'd be much harder to make them all non perfect
in former Eastern Germany they built stuff that worked and lasted longer than anything you can buy nowadays because of your beautiful "market"
@@sonofhismother The machines differ in fabrication quality. Try any fake legos. Their constructions are a lot more fragile and degrade with time and its not like they are handmade. But it’s not just about the machines. It’s also about plastic quality which is not affected by water or low temperatures. I am sure all german industrial quality is just a market legacy. Because I know exactly where all of the soviet industry came from: all russian production has always been basically some american fabric bought and copied detail by detail. A state run economy can only evolve extensively not intensively. And do you really believe a state could authorize some toys to get that amount of resources to enable that quality?
I disagree. Nowadays Lego is no longer making products that are aimed at building your own creations from the parts. Just look at these app controlled things that make it hard to reuse motors and stuff.
You are all right. But unless your budding engineer has 100’s of pounds to spend on exactly the right components and a handy swimming pool. Then its not going to teach any new child anything. Its interesting and a good advert for Lego (its already plural Americans) but if the kids cant get their hands on the kit its useless as an educational tool.
Me: "oh boy what kind of genius waterproofing he will show us?" Magnetism
Priere B but it’s smart. It allows for quick adjustments.

It's actually incredibly smart. He solved a problem by avoiding it completely. Making the build process simpler and the vehicle safer to operate. This is what innovation looks like!
@@IIAndersII I agree, I expected solution to complexity only to be presented with solution by simplicity. It's truly impressive

The way you fixed the spinning when going up or down was just amazing. Like oh yeah, I’m full of solutions.

@@jakubkrauz7847 yeah you could have so many attachments
It really is, just the idea is awesome
@@jakubkrauz7847 рп
i still can't put to words how smart it is to have a low friction tape and magnets instead of drilling for the sub so it can be reliably waterproof

I know! A method I would never have come up with
Dat is pretty smart ngl
I'd of gone with SKF shaft seals in a tubular plastic container like the first sub, but magnet couplings are the next best thing.
mom said not to ruin the tupperware
The fact that a glass container is better than the oceangate submersible is mind blowing
Lol
Built better than the titan.

Hahahahha yes!
@李胤彥 Actually wish this thing was a set and all you had to do was buy and ikea food container with it.
I like how you have the captain included as just of a vital piece as the rest of things
For some reason seeing the captain just makes sense. I cant tell why but it feels right.
A Simple Dude : In a way it makes it less... scary.
@@runarandersen878 Yeah I guess thats it. It humanizes it
I would say this sub doesn't count unless the Lego man gets his own bridge
The magnetic couplings were a great idea. Unfortunate that you had to give up the variable ballast though. That was my favorite part of the original.

Ngina Hardy but loses to a baking soda volcano
Next video “Working life size Lego volcano”
Mr Potaato. Do schools still do baking soda volcanoes anymore? I don’t see why they would still be used to show one of the most basic reactions in a class. To me it seams more like an art project than a tool to show how chemical reactions work to first or second graders.
Yonex it was a joke.
Mr Potaato. Sorry I should have clarified. I understood it was a joke, I was just wondering if they still use soda volcanoes.
This guy has an engineering mind with a kid spirit

Imagine if Toy Story was real, that lego Captain would be so excited to finally be in a working submarine.
yea
This is canon I decided
You ever have a toy somehow mysteriously move overnight? I think that happens sometimes though, I wouldn't be wanting to witness that. I think I'd die of fright.
You can see it in his eyes. He wears a stoic expression but you can tell inwardly he's having the time of his life.
