6 Ways to use 1 Motor for 2 Outputs | LEGO Technic

Hi everyone,
since they are discontinued, power function motors got really expensive. Instead of finding reasonable solutions to that problem, I designed 6 ways to split the rotational directions of the input. This can be useful for saving space, weight and money. If you still haven't found your perfect solution for that problem, here are 3 more designs: • 3 Ways to Control 2 Ou...

This channel is awesome love the concepts.

[@rosabchen]

You are so smart to use the frictionless 8 tooth gear this way!

[@ssakcaj_the-plasmanoid]

Surprised I've never seen it this whole time

[@jakemarcus9999]

Oh my word the last one is genius

[@alstillplays]

The same thing you probably use every day when you drive to work in your car?

[@tomik1362]

Thank you for inspiration ❤

[@Cat_God_YT]

Ah yes mind blown

[@Zerahu]

Final one is awesome even though it was noisy!

[@I_love_drifting]

I could easily use number 3 in a way we're it stays drive both at the same time for a 6 wheel car with 4 wheel rwd thanks

[@furaxerer]

Cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@heho1]

Cool!

[@baldi6011]

hoot hoot!

[@sharpblad3]

eh, nice work! and I m still trying to figure out how to make a motor on a simple bicycle, select front or rare wheel drive. or even both. motor in the middle and front and rare wheels with 2 chains to give rotation. with a simple selector near the motor smaller gears to change motor gear. its like a 2 speed gear box but without the speeds and without reversing the motor polarity. any ideas ?

[@alstillplays]

4:57 that's actually a tank, cars turn or offset at least one of their axles to steer

[@matthew.wilson]

The nice thing with the ratchet one is it locks the unused outputs. All the others leave one output free to spin.

[@bowfuz]

im curious as to what these kind of mechanisms are useful for, other than rectifying rotation direction?

[@in1]

Using less motors where you origninally needed 2, to reduce cost, size and weight

[@bowfuz]

@@in1 well yeah, but you can only turn one output at a time, and in only one direction. Hoping I can be corrected, but I can't think of any application for it given those drawbacks.

[@JulienVanier]

This is useful for Lego robotics when the number of outputs on the controller is very limited. Spike prime has only 6 ports so if you want to do 2 wheels, 2 sensors, then you only have 2 extra ports for motors.

[@limonadik_lol4246]

😮

[@averitiamiku]

Im going to put this in reverse for a double input single output

[@AaronCutie709]

I♥️🔈

[@prejetaklobasa]

why the fuck you need to switch the outputs

[@in1]

To save motors/space/cost

[@I_am_looking_for_GF]

5 and 6 are really interesting, i haven't seen it before
