Always remember, when you cant cross that gap in your life : increase wheel diameter

that's actually pretty profound. when you find yourself in a difficult situation, rather than pushing against the current, work on yourself until you are ready to move forward.
Use multi-wheels train.

For the last two wheels, I liked to imagine it being a vehicle with occupants inside getting flung violently around as it tried to clear the gap.
In that case, I'd hope the designer would have the passengers in a side car or something.

Using a microscope to see the movement has to be one of the coolest and most genius ideas
smol movements
Genius*
Those 500000 atoms moved with insanely big torque
Sneak : 100
Only 140 atoms per second!!!! That’s really cool!
The string launcher was so cool as it if when you see it, it looks like it has zero gravity, or perhaps it looks like it's in a swimming pool
Like a webshooter
Hey klaus you are everywhere lol
the lightweight one kinda looks like a chainsaw-sword
It gave me some ideas and renewed hope for real working light-saber.

the sound of the biggest wheel rolling was the most satisfying thing i've ever heard
The most professional lego channel I've ever seen He has high voltage power supply, he has so many lego bricks and motors and now he uses microscope
And fantastic production value
And those aren't cheap either. Atleast most of them.
Shouldve been a lego microscope, smh

Your increase wheel diameter experiments is basically what lead to the notorious Tsar Tank. I'd like to see the big wheels on a four wheel chassis, maybe with 4 wheel drive. Also, what if you added rubber for traction? I think that would make things work better. Or, what would happen if you just kept adding wheels? What's the limit to the gap you can cross if you just keep adding powered axles? Is there a maximum gap to vehicle length ratio?
0:33 the army is coming
The increase wheel diameter part got a good laugh out of me
It has that same energy as _"that's right, it goes in the square hole"_ :D
I about died laughing at the first two-wheeled version

Just picturing Mr. Incredible looking super upset by it.
@@JanTuts insert rock eyebrow raise
0:46 the sound that it makes when it falls is just perfect
🤣🤣🤣👍
just like the death sound in Lego Star Wars when you fall off the edge
Quite literally, a lego death sound
lego yoda *ARHGHGHGH*
Perfectly painful because of how tedious it must be to put it back together
My guy took “just increase the wheel diameter” too seriously
Love the commitment to the microscope bit. The synced zoom out was a nice treat
Okay, that first part with the comically giant wheel is actually pretty cool - the way how the body swings to try and force itself past the gap.
And the time it just crashed
I like how at a certain point, it stops spinning the wheels and instead uses its weight to tip the wheels forward
I'm impressed that worked.
Physics
The principle is the same, but as you can see, its not efficient at all, thats why no one actually designs vehicles that way.. it makes fun games at the fair tho!

"When you can't cross a gap, increase wheel diameter." -Brick Experiment Channel
This is a really good example of why the Tsar tank was a total failure.
For all the "satisfying" videos on KZhead, almost nothing I've seen on this site has given me the satisfaction of seeing a ridiculous Lego gear ratio moving under a microscope. Bravo, sir.
😯
I found your channel today and I experienced 2 things :-- 1. I regret not knowing it for all those years. 2. I am so damn happy that i got your channel and my next years are gonna witness some epic videos like this one.
When I found it I got so obsessed with that I watched every single video in 2 days
1. - Isn't that bad. Now you can watch all of his videos - accumulated over the years. One after another and no need to wait for next to release. :)

Love that fact that the largest wheel was limited by the fact that it was heavier than the base
The base the still heavier than the largest wheel, as the base contain a motor and has more weight.
@@automation7295 motors are heavy but the weight of lego adds up pretty quick
@@Wheagg Yes, but it depends how make brick are used obviously.
The table was heavier, not the wheel
Imagine putting a weight on the end of the body to propel it through momentum
The last one at the end was moving like a really fast tectonic plate
The comparison I've heard most often is "about as fast as your fingernails grow" - given how fast mine seem to grow, I don't know about that "really fast" bit 😄
@@SimonBuchanNz Since tectonic plates take more than a year to move an inch, I decided this would be appropriate
according to The Google, and some math, that gear is moving about ten times faster than the fastest moving tectonic plate, that being the pacific plate, at about 0.1 millimeters per hour as opposed to the plate at 0.01 mm/h my math might be wrong, but you're correct--like a very fast tectonic plate
@@vermojonson8835 makes sense

That last one was just incredible
Mm. It kind of slipped as it moved aye, instead of moving smoothly.
So something i actually did to make up credit in my lego robotics class in high school was to design a car with square wheels that worked, and i feel in that first example square wheels would be superior because it could get leverage on the sides of the tables and push itself up and over the gap. Thinking about this more, probably octagonal wheels or maybe hexagonal would be better. I remember those square wheels made a hell of a racket and didnt get much grip, mostly just hopped forward at a random pace. Not effective but somewhat functional.
Or just regular wheels with a good grip / indent pattern
@@theseangle trying to find wheels like that at that small of a size would be difficult. Things like that dont scale down very well. Tho i think something could be done, like they do up north you could do wheel chains, the way they use them to give wheels better grip in snow and ice could also be used to grip the table a bit more effectively.
@@thelogician3845 no, why would i? Thats just dumb, defeats the entire purpose of the test. Why even have a video of it then, it would be pointless
@@pyromaniac000000 aah sorry I interpreted it wrongly. Anyways will they be effective on a table?snow and mud can be moulded according to the chains hence providing better grip but a table is a pretty rigid surface.
@@thelogician3845 well really it just needs some way to get some amount of leverage on the too side of the table. Round wheels will get stuck because they can only get grip on the bottom and not the sides, once there is nothing below them they cant get grip. Having not round wheels or chains means they can rotate until one side can push directly down on to the top of the table and get just enough lift to keep going. Gives you away to put downward force from the wheels on the sides not just the bottom
1:50 "Use a microscope to see *IF* it's moving" I'm sorry, but did someone think it wouldn't be moving just because you can't see it with your bare eyes? Why would it NOT spin?
Let me try to explain it to you in terms you'll understand. Maybe the gear could be stationary, and only move in small chunks every now and then vs. moving very slightly at a constant rate. If that is the case, then with enough gears the time between chunks of movement would be so long that the gear is effectively still.
I want a Twitch live stream of that thing spinning all day everyday. I want a full rotation.
Someone get the popcorn, were going to be here a while
Lego pitch drop experiment?
@@maoman4855 where everytime no-one is watching the stream, it does a full rotation? or, when people are watching the stream, the stream crashes? Not sure how they could do that.
@@wardproductions2792 You'd need perpetual popcorn for that livestream
Hey there, greetings from Germany! As a student in engineering I recently created a small lego rc car, which I often modified for better performance. However after putting some weight as decoratives it loses its perfomance and cant drive 40 degree upwards anymore. Can you do an experiment how weight affects the speed and torque of an lego car with x wheels? I would be very thankful!
I concur with this statement
You also have to account for the fact that the force of gravity down the slope is going to be greater on the car with increased weight, meaning that, as more weight is added, the force of the car going up the slope is going to be less than the force pulling it down the slope.
@@Dmanthepowerful Gravity doesn't exist. Anyone talking about gravity betrays himself as a dumb person.

Until recently I have been going through tough times after a breakup with my wife, losing my job, addiction to alcohol. It's like I had no where to go. But then, my son showed me this video and told me to increase wheel diameter. Since then, my wife and I remarried, got a job and increased wheel diameter. Thank you, Brick Experiments 👍

YEAAAAAA BABY THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!
Great to see engineers going into string theory
for some reason unlike a lot of clickbait channels or channels that work off of one good video but the rest are clickbait, BEC manages to always deliver lmao like even if it's just a simple gear reduction they take it to the extreme and it just crosses into amazing territory
1. make a beyblade (that works) 2. make a whole video about the string launcher (see how powerful and fast you can get it) as well as a tutorial on how to make the simple one

The easiest way to fix getting stuck? "POWERRRRRRR" -Jeremy Clarkson
The sound of that last set of wheels on the tables is very satisfying to me! Could I have a non-stop full minute of those wheels rolling and making that sound please!
When you're spinning the wheel really fast (e.g. 17000 RPM), stick something between the spokes. Something other than your finger. Also, somebody else suggested letting the 24000 RPM cheap wheel go loose.
When you're going really fast, it becomes hard to put something in between: it gets pushed out of the way by an oncoming spoke before you get too deep.
Creative man with creative viewers who gave that ideas
I was rooting so hard for that giant wheel to roll over the table, great video
that gear rotation is just mind blowing
Love the detail in the microscope scene👌🏻

The red wheel getting stuck and giving up is such a mood.
That's like one atom's movement every 7 milliseconds. That's insane
To think scientist often simulate with femtoseconds.
Now I want to build a string launcher on my own...
Im not so sure if have ever done this before, or if it makes any sense, but curious. I want to know if you can make an AWD vehicle with the steering and source of power to the wheels combined, like having having shift pedals on a steering wheel to be the gas and brake if my concept is understandable.
