Using LEGO and LEGO Technic I built a working snow blower capable of clearing freshly fallen snow! This LEGO machine is capable of clearing up to 10cm depth of snow!
There is a tracked LEGO drivetrain powered by 2 large LEGO Powered UP motors and a LEGO Powered UP hub.
The LEGO snow blower utilises an auger and impeller setup to move snow into the middle of the impeller before being blown out of the funnel! This is powered by 2 buwizz motors and a buwizz battery.
The entire snow blower unit can be lifted into the air via a winch system using 1 XL LEGO Power Functions motor.
Control was done with programming in the LEGO Powered UP app, a remote control to the LEGO Power Functions motor and programming within the buwizz app.

Yeah, this is pretty much the coolest Technic machine ever. Abso-freaking-lutely incredible!!!
Thanks! Really appreciate the support!
i'm a you subscriber, i really like yours 6x6 chassis
Watch the brick wall
This is absolutely insane! Great work.
Really glad you liked it! Thanks!
I imagine if there were walls on the spiral impeller, rather than just a single helix shaped line, it would perform much better. Incredibly awesome build though, thoroughly impressive.
Hi, thanks for the comment! I agree with your thoughts. I only had one chance to get this build right as I don't have snow in my country and took this abroad with me when I was away on holiday. I'd loved to have time to refine it and test different impeller designs but alas!
Wow, it’s crazy how the snow is ejected from the machine. Nice work 👏
Thanks for the support! The BuWizz motors are powerful little things! Especially when paired up!
I tried making something like this as a kid and my only goal was to make a contraption that could drive across the snow. I think it was a k'nex contraption come to think of it using standard gear motors I got from an old ferris wheel. Added long rods to each wheel so it was basically like it was 'walking' along the snow. The idea was that the extended rods gave it lots of ground clearance and lots of grip on the snow. I set it down and it walked for a bit but it got stuck almost immediately. At which point I just accepted "its just a toy, i don't know why i thought that would work" So to see this working perfectly, if very slow, is like my attempt as a kid succeeded on a larger scale and a higher budget lol. Great work!
man this machine is crazy!!
Love some snowblower content
Absolutely awesome. Your best yet, and that’s saying something!
you could absolutely get away with a little less gearing on the drivetrain. that way you won't ave to speed up any moving footage, and it will still be torqy enough
through your video, i realised how a tank is built: 1. build a train, 2. wrap the track around the wheels
very nice and clever!
An ENTIRE DECIMETER THICK, you say?! If I were a metric user, a decimeter would be my favorite unit of measurement. Mostly because you never hear about it, yet it would be wildly useful in day-to-day life.
Epic video bro amazing work ❤ 😮
Thank you so much 😀
one thing I'd suggest if you were to do a revision is shield the components (motors, batteries , etc) so snow doesn't get on them and potentially cause damage as it melts
Exactly what i was thinking about. I would definitely worry about the electronics.
For your next build, I challenge you to build a functioning garbage truck
Amazing!
Now I've seen it all. Incredible!
Thanks!
never clicked on a video so fast
Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I believe that this should become a real Lego set.
I love this and the asmr great work❤❤❤
Absolutely amazing build. Could you imagine the cost of this if it were an actual Lego set?
Thanks for the comment! I’m glad you liked it!
What an amazing build this is!💯
Fantastic model and it works really well!!
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words!
Nicely done! Keep it up!
Thanks a lot!
Wow 😮
a tunel escavator to do a tunel in the snow?
What a beast!!
sick love it
Great work. It is actually insane.
Would be fun for snow clearing in small spaces
Your inventions are always amazing
Great!
Wow so cool! Ur a real lego master!
This is actually insane. Idk how this doesn't have more views. I think the ejection port could be better directed/shielded though, seems like a lot of snow is getting spewed all over the craft.
Thanks! I mentioned to another commenter - this build was taken on a plane on a recent holiday as I don’t live in a country with much snow! Therefore it was untested and I had to take an educated guess regarding the blower / chute etc! And I couldn’t fit anymore spare LEGO in my case! But I agree - a longer chute would have been great!! 👍🏼
@@BuilditwithBricks Damn wtf dude you are crazy. You had to take it to another country to test it? Your LEGO creation became an international endeavor.
@@Certifier yeah, getting all the batteries through airport security was fun! And a certain amount of rebuild on arrival where I hadn’t quite protected the machine perfectly in my case…
6.1K views for this masterpiece? Cmon KZhead algorithm show him some love! Only thing that could be improved would be an extra blower and chute to get the snow a bit further away
Thanks! I don’t live in a country with large amounts of snow so this build came with me on a plane ✈️ on a recent holiday! This meant I had to guess at the entire outcome without testing and I had one shot at the mechanism and build. I’d have loved a longer chute your right - but I ran out of room in the suitcase for more LEGO!
My mind was just blown. Excellent work!
Ah thanks! I appreciate the support!
Really Cool Video I wish I had that many bricks and stuff
More vids better amazement
This is really cool
I’m glad you like it thanks!
Very well done, looks super cool! I am jealous you have so much technic haha. However, I do feel the need to point out that it would work much better if the augers weren't hollow.
Thanks for the support! I thought about solid augers but took the decision to keep them hollow so as not to stress the motors too much, I agree in the real world solid augers work better! Thanks!
@@BuilditwithBricks Thats fair. Cool build either way.
Fabulous work
Thanks!
Next video: Building a aquarium fish tank outta legos
This is one of the most complicated Lego builds I’ve ever seen! Keep up the good work🎉
Thanks for the comment! Much appreciated!
the tracs soundet like marching clones
Totally thought all your videos got millions of likes they deserve it! I’ve probably seen every one of them now keep up the fantastic work you’ll be huge in no time. I recommend making a tiktok if you haven’t already, it should really help get the deserved attention. Also have you made a breaking stuff machine? That could be interesting.
Hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel! I’ve got a TikTok account - the link is in my bio on my channel page. I’ll add your idea to the list of potential projects! Thanks again!
Battery outside : I'm out!
INSANE BUILD MAN!! btw, good luck with the cleaning...
Thanks for the support! Yeah - had to defrost it all first!
If you open a bit more the flap on the top you will not have much snow accumulation...!
AMAZING but I kept hearing the sound of grinding gears
can u make it bigger like ur size
Bro i want that blower unit for something else
5:19 A part is missing from the right side of the machine.
Good spot! Maybe it adds to the realism of machines getting scratches and scrapes through use?!
YOOOOOOOOOO
W
The funnel is really messy-it’s shooting everywhere
How dafuq this guy have so many legos???
İron man
Hate to tell you this but a shovel would’ve been faster 🥴
Same goes with Viagra
Make it faster
You are for Israel, right?
And thanks, this is a good video😀
Bro, shut up. This is a video about Lego. Leave the real-world issues as far away as possible.
Great!now add the Soviet Union flag to it
I am crulfluzzled now.
Its super stupid but nice
It’s not Lego though is it 🤔
It's Lego Technic. I'm pretty sure the only thing in this design thats not Lego brand are the Buwizz buggy motors and battery to power the augur. These are commonly accepted in AFOL Technic community as acceptable because they're based on the Lego 9V system and a legacy Lego form factor.
Thanks for explaining shroomzzz!
Build a drilling rig next!
