15,000 RPM - LEGO vacuum engine | NEW WORLD RECORD!

This weekend I achieved a new world record, just shy of 15,000 RPM with a Lego engine, no doubt it got up there at one point but my tachometer is too slow. Thankfully it didnt blow up but that’s because I only let it go for a few seconds. There was no friction damaged surprisingly so i didnt bother adding that into the vid but let me know if i should do a durability test.
Instructions are free when this video and thelast one his 10k likes combined.
You can find them and the parts list here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-1754...
Check support ​⁠@LucasDynamics and see his world record run with no glue.
I’ve been working on this for a long time so y’all better not say I copied him😅

[@LucasDynamics]

Nice one! The glue is a little bit cheat😏 But I will make a 3.0 version soon!

[@jmodsbricks]

The glue was definitely a cheat. Can’t wait to see what you come up with mate🙌🏻

[@dsprings8565]

Would a stronger vacuum be a solution?

[@kinda4728]

@@dsprings8565this is what I was wondering, are they using a cheapo vacuum or per say a higher powered shop vac?

Important Thing To Remember To Make A Very High RPM Lego Engine: Lubricant And “Glue…?” 😅 It Reached Almost 15k RPM, Thats Fast 😮

[@Thatfemboydud]

Try to put that high rpm Lego turbo in the Lego buggati life sized and it has hp 😅

[@tunk_2ton168]

it didn't look that scary on the video but it probably was hella scary in the moment. i would suggest a bent acrylic sheet over the engine as well as one for just cover to stay behind and go full beans!

[@secretmanPFD]

the glue is a bit cheeky - but the end result is very satisfying, so we'll let it slide

[@johnstewart2064]

This is super awesome😁 i subscribed to watch the progress.

[@fskartingco.1055]

Looks and sounds great, I would really like to see what this thing can do in the future. I saw another comment where you said you didn’t open the throttle more because it was making some scary vibrations, maybe some way to balance the rotor would be good?

[@Gyhaboii]

not the craggle

[@roborovskistudios4892]

💀

[@LazloNQ]

Dude you're doing this correctly! The way to achieve high rpm is air inlet at the periphery and exhaust out the side. That's how we achieved high rpm when we built our turbines in the 1990s. The tri-rotor you used it what it's all about. You know you've achieved LEGO Nirvana when you start shearing knobs off your lego. Well done man. You've figured it out!

[@spartan-5795]

naturally, I wanna see it go full throttle. lol Keep up the good stuff man

Yay its V2 unlike explosion from other

this is insane

[@takeneye9912]

This reminds me of making spin tops outta those Bucky ball magnets hanging them by one off metal above and hitting em with an air can. Things had to be going like 3k before they bust into 150 balls flying everywhere haha

[@user-th2bs7dx3p]

So cool!!!

[@xxsydeaxolotlxx4116]

YESSSS YOU DID IT! I KNEW IT

[@Da_Gr1p_R3ap3r]

you should attach a second one to the back and have the vacuum mimic the exhaust gasses spinning the axle connected to the other turbo spooling it up and creating boost

[@David_Mash]

You dont need glue, you need to modify your design to remain legal

[@gampugv2]

🤓

[@balintgalambos691]

You think thats that easy?

[@David_Mash]

@balintgalambos691 maybe not as pretty but definitely easy to build more structure around it

[@vincetimmermans5453]

in one of your youtube shorts i saw that u put the turbo on a inline 4 can u show how you atached it on the motor

[@Guywithahat123]

Same!!! Im so hyped up!❤

[@canadiantrainperson]

YEAHHHH!

[@luckichan]

cool!! ccan you do a super charger too?

[@user-ud3xh2ur6t]

You better try a lego compatible iron liftarm with bearing.

[@sharonbradford4494]

Now I want you to imagine one of the electric motors running out of 12 V going 40,000 rpm that enough to make a fan blade explode easily

[@snipercat2334]

Can you make a something so I can build this myself, all of the stuff the engine and everything plz

[@Dan-vq4pz]

Hey mate, you try balancing the rotor at all? How's vibration?

[@Dan-vq4pz]

If you're gluing might as well start shaving parts

[@DOOMZDAYxLSMA]

"BAD COP.. GET THE... KRAKLE!"

[@Legostuffidk]

This is a really cool turbine, but it isn't the world record. I don't wanna burst your bubble but I've seen a few hit 20k rpm in the tble server without using glue. This is a really cool turbine tho

[@teamrocket3714]

Interesting

[@hydroworldoutlook5447]

0:41 Well, it’s not the only way. You could also 3D print a rotor designed to spin at that speed.

[@brighamprice4630]

can you sshow us how you routed it to the i4 and how it works, as well as how much it will do for the i4

[@Mada_kr]

Unfortunately that's not the world record. I have 34k rpm on video with mine

[@K4yzn_]

Yo ! I have an idea... a project ! Make a realistic car with a turbo, an engine etc... PLEASE !

[@UnreasonablyIrrelevant-gv8xx]

A better solution to gluing would be finding a larger piece that's one part to replace the multiple piece rotor

[@jmodsbricks]

Maybe someday. It’s not really a huge priority for me to have the world record, I just had a lot of fun making this😅

[@Carbonmancer]

I wonder if someone can make a wind instrument with that.

[@themjohnsons]

🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@user-wu5ep1mz9b]

Cool turbo Now make a lego Blow off and intercooler!

[@jmodsbricks]

Lego intercooler😭 how would that even work?? I like where your heads at

[@user-wu5ep1mz9b]

The Turbo alone Blew my mind!@@jmodsbricks

[@Merlok224]

What if you merge that engine with lego I4 engine.And use that fastest engine as Turbo charger

[@Elhamburitto]

Like a real turbo it probably needed constant lubrication while spinning at such speeds

[@PandaHiveGaming]

Nooo not the kragle 😂

[@jmodsbricks]

I had to😭

[@legobrick947]

Looks like a whistle

[@greenphantom093]

This is a rotation based turbine,similar to the jet engine.👍

[@Baby_Jeebus]

If you hooked this up to a vacuum and attached to a LEGO car. Would it make other go?

[@jmodsbricks]

yes!:)

[@user-bp9rm9wx4v]

Literally no one :the turbines be like in Chernobyl at the disaster

[@dumsmaxime854]

How work the throtle ?

Just changes the amount of air that is allowed to pass through

[@sharonbradford4494]

[@MostEpicMineCraftPlayer]

fun fact: Lucas did not have the wr this other dude did with 14k rpm but you beat his by like 200 rpm I think edit: yeah you beat the real wr by like 400 rpm but Lucas did not have the wr before you took it maybe next time do some more research edit 2: the previous wr holder was Owen vansanten on yt

[@jmodsbricks]

ya, i probably should have done a bit more research.

[@MakerOfBricks]

I don’t have a video or anything to prove it, but i’ve made a 2 bladed one that hit 17k rpm

[@ez2869]

Wait. Bros pieces melted?

[@connerthatdude9369]

I tried building one of these and it blew up on me. One time completely before I decided to glue stuff. Then it melted the plastic shafts

[@jmodsbricks]

LOL - lots of lube

[@sharonbradford4494]

That thing is a jet engine on steroids

[@Wywydoesstuff]

Why do you use a gear reduction, it would be faster it was right off the axle

[@jmodsbricks]

My tachometer only goes up to 2,500 rpm(not even close to 15,000) so I put a 24:1 gear ratio on the output and just multiplied the reading by 24

[@Wywydoesstuff]

@@jmodsbricks oh i see

[@paradiselost9946]

remember the air here is still limited in the speed it can achieve... theres certain basic physics governing air speeds due to pressure differentials. if one asked this turbine to do actual work, at max efficiency it would run at half the speed of the air flow... and despite how it seems... the air is expanding, as it enters the lower pressure... probably get slightly better results running backwards to this... intake in the center. like a normal centrifugal impeller... youre asking the air to flow backwards to how it wants to flow here. it wants to fling out, the air mass entering from the center... its that incoming airmass that does the work. its odd. i have one of them little 250s that happily revs at 18K... the tacho doesnt even register below 4K. yet i jump on a lathe and just 500RPM seems stupid fast...

[@solomon9388]

Why is bro naming stuff the wrong things 💀

[@jmodsbricks]

There’s a few reasons for why I pick my titles. 1. It’s going to act as a turbo, it’s just not fully integrated yet. 2. It’s close enough and if I called it a “centrifugal pump”, less would click on the video. 3. It’s a Lego demo, It’s not like I can build a legit combustion engine with a properly functioning turbocharger out of plastic bricks 4. People who comment corrections are just boosting the video engagement. I hope this makes sense:)

I know you won’t change the name but please don’t call this an engine this is a turbine there is a major difference. A turbine is only an engine if it is being used to produce thrust. Otherwise great vid good luck with your next venture. seriously tho don’t use false terminology. :)
