Brick Technology:can you make a trailer with its box, made of legos that works please and I like your contentツ.
Mate all I have to say is take my money you are the most amazing person to think about that you have a big Lego engineering mind keep up the great work by the way where do you get those plastic balls from

the best thing about these videos is how they just get progressively more overkill and insane I love it

Overkill is not the word. This person looks for perfection.
The further he works on them, the more it starts to look like some extraterrestrial power generator, or a portal that rips a hole in the fabric of reality
2 minutes I was like “cool, something neat…” and then I realize that it’s not over. It just continues to expand and get better in idea and trial.
Agreed. Engineering at it's core
Once I saw that you were using the same basic concept as the ball wheel car (which I love), I was hoping for continuously variable and independent control of each powered wheel. And as usual, you do not disappoint.
LoL, exactly 🤣
Ikr! It just keeps getting cooler :D
Bro made a sci-fi power core out of lego, water, and food colouring. Respect.
Food coloring....OR IS IT?!?
Yiu don’t need the comma after “water.”😅
Maybe not, but you'll have to pry the oxford comma from my cold, dead hands. :P
Now add mercury
Legos are pretty damn cool
That last one looks like some sort of sci-fi portal or reactor thing. Its really amazing what you can do with lego!
It looks like a reactor
@Nina shut up bot
Stinky
A Vortex Reactor, maybe?
Looks kind of like the wormhole generator from the movie contact
This was 1000x cooler than I thought it was going to be, crazy to see the mechanism evolve and how complex the engineering is
No it’s just his sanity slowly becoming less until there’s nothing left and he’ll make it so overkill he’ll make a mechanism that if he spins himself the ball spins as well

Honestly, these sort of things remind me of why I was obsessed with lego as a kid. I'm a lead systems engineer working in R&D on trains - they should use this sort of thing to teach young engineers on how to approach design problems, I'm genuinely considering introducing it for concept design work in our labs.
Do it! No better way to get kids interested in engineering.
That would be cool. Good luck

🤓complex fluid dynamics🤓
Yeah it was very realistic the transparent .0000001 brick pieces almost looked like real fluid
this is the best vortex i seen made with lego on youtube
This is a new level of insanity. Well done.
If they made this with quieter motors, I'd love having this as an artistic water feature with lights that just randomly spin up during the day and night.
This would be a neat Gadget at a bar for mixing drinks
nah but the crazy motor whine adds to the insanity
I think its not the motor makkng so much noise, it is the wheels and gears. I work in an electric engine factory and when you let an electric motor run without the fan thats needed to cool down a motor, you can hardly hear the motor running, but when you add the fan it gets loud. 😉
A lego spinning water watch, powered by the sun. When less sunlight received, slower the spin, until it's night. Idk, i think idea can be good.
I dont think its the motor, but the friction of spinning object
I'm more surprised by how sturdy the spheres are for all the force put on them I would've thought they would've split open
Same. Maybe the full ones were glued shut?

I hope Lego compensates you for all the insane, genius engineering you create. You have elevated Lego awareness to those who have never used Legos (short of stepping on one) like me.
Pretty sure some of his designs are illegal building, but regardless he is the most master builder to have ever built
@@frownyclowny6955 what is illegal building?
@@carlosc6021 there are some “illegal” building techniques in Lego which are never used in official builds (well almost never, I believe there are some exceptions). This is because they put stress on the bricks/parts, because they’re used in ways not designed to handle. You can find a lot of video’s on illegal Lego building techniques. Of course they’re not actually illegal
@@carlosc6021 there are specific rules Lego has put out for buildings, especially for people wanting to be master builders. Violations of these rules are considering illegal Lego buildings. It’s weird but really funny
@@frownyclowny6955 Nonsense. You can build with your lego's to your hearts desire. that is the whole concept of LEGO. Its danish for "PLay WEll" aka Danish "LEg GOdt" = LE-GO. And when it comes to LEGO technique its classed as 'illegal' if it puts stress on the elements used; these are avoided by LEGO designers as over time, they would cause the pieces to break or deform if its intended as a sale construction- example LEGO designer would not make a abc carbuild design motodriven kit that is centered aroundfx 100.000 rpm as the tires would simply fly oof with such forces. when its intended to be sold as construction kit, it need to be safe for the masses and be usefull as intended, but as always you can go berserk with your lego and build whatever your mind can imagine and repurpose your bricks.. that is the whole incentive with LEGO.. that you can repurpose your bricks and even suit it up with individuel things, that aint intended for a stand alone kit.. Its doesnt take a Phd to conclude that LEGO designers & backland are just as big a fan of this channel as everybody else, and likely bigger as its their passion - its f'ocking gobsmacking to see the construction channelholder delivers and the way he modify things to suit the purpose. (extremely fascinating)
watching your videos always leaves me smarter and happier!
This is quite possibly the most interesting/mesmerizing video I've ever seen.
Pushing Lego to its limits is always amazing, but this makes me wonder if you filled one of those with resin and spun it if it would cure in the vortex shape.
Amazing idea
Yes, that would be amazing
This idea reminds me of how the JWT mirrors are made. Spin liquid into a perfect hyperbola and keep spinning while it hardens...for three months.
@@BrickTechnology be interested to see if it is possible with viscosity and weight differences of resin, compared to water.
@@peterboyall3506 if you add enough force anything can act like water

I wish I had that many Lego bricks to do this project. What a tutorial😮💨
Man the fact that you got it not only to spin like that but have it be relatively stable while doing it is really impressive
I love how your personality is coming through more with each video. Your original videos had your *_method_* , but not your *_madness_* .
They've always had the madness. You've just gotten better at perceiving it. It's also more prominent... But it was always there.
@@thatguy5046 I'll admit your notion that maybe I've just gotten better at perceiving it, might be correct. Most of the time when people play devil's advocate, they're just talking out of their ass to make the OP feel wrong. So it's very refreshing to be shown a point that wasn't previously acknowledged. We can test this theory by me watching some of his older videos to see if I can see his personality more, as I do now with his new videos. I'll let you know the result when I have the time to watch some videos.

It's crazy how people build all these stuff with just your average building brick. Lego Technic and Mindstorms are the GOAT in terms of creativity. You don't just build, but experiment with them.
such a great video O.O of just putting lego and doing stuff with it.. nice.
Its amazing to believe that Lego started out as just a toy to build houses, but now people male incredible machines like this. Great work man!👍
It's a toy developed by engineers, played with by children, some of whom who grew up to become engineers. The circle is complete. 😆
Amazing, yes; unheard of or unusual, no. Consider the computer game of Minecraft. A fairly simple game of survival using volumetric blocks, right? People have assembled working computers using the power and logic blocks of the game. If you present a creative or innovative person with a basic building block the only limitation of what they might create is the universe itself.
It's like Minecraft once you get to the redstone part.
An interesting experiment to do with this is to see what happens when spinning multiple liquids of different viscosities at the same time
In many cases you'll like just end up with a frothy emulsion.
Or maybe put some liquid metals in it
@@maciekmoz how bout both?
@@maciekmoz liquid metals would be way too hot and melt the plastic and gallium is expensive

Ich liebe diesen Erfindergeist den du mitbringst!! Sehr geil
Ive never really been a technic guy (aside from bionicle) but I am a mechanical and electrical / controls engineer and recently kind of started dabbling in light technic things for mocs. you showed that metal technic part supplier and I thought that was so cool that that exists nowadays and I never really thought machining would be incorporated into lego stuff. I never even CONSIDERED you could machine technic parts. That is so cool.
I broke so many technic parts from over torque. My dad gave me one aluminum driveshaft that he salvaged of something that worked EXACTLY right with Lego. ...then I started breaking gears and connectors. Lolol. Anyone else have old school Erector Sets? All metal type Legos with tiny nuts, bolts, electric motors? That was my jam once my grandma got me my first.
imagine walking into someone’s house and seeing what looks like a sci-fi portal on their desk and you ask them what it does and they say “it spins this ball around really fast”
Beautiful work!
We should get a full tutorial and a Lego set of this
Given all the stop motion, this person is a real master of craft in both Lego and video production. Total respect!
It would be interesting to mix two different colors just to see if they will spin interdependently , preferably substances with different density so that they don't mix. Like oil and water.
That could be interesting. In the right conditions oil and water will in fact mix. As a mechanic, I have seen it about 3 times. First was when someone accidently dumped coolant into their engine oil. The other two times were with a rear differential and with power steering fluid. Makes me wonder if his high speed vortexes would be enough to mix them. Almost tempted to try it with a blender.
@@spaghettithetentac1163 it would definitely mix in a blender, blender blades are angled to insure that their contents are mixed well. i think a smooth rotating sphere would likely be a different story
ok
It will mix but it may not stay. Thats what emulsifiers are for right?
Come to think of it you guys are right,

And the videography (photography and editing) is incredible, too.
Ok, this video has really helped me visualize the turbulent spacetime around a rapidly spinning neutron star. The way spacetime is dragged and warped around the spherical (roughly) shape of the star looks very much like some of the more interesting shapes you achieved. The points when you flipped the rotation and created a moment of turbulence while the system reconfigured also....
What.
Neutron stars are very fascinating
