How Many Walls Stops A Lego Cannon?

[@azekilldiablo9315]

Those U walls and supported walls models are a brilliant way to show how force transfers over a wall... in the slow motion, we can see that the pieces that took the biggest hits are actually the ones at the back, it's fascinating!

I suppose it could be viewed as them taking a hit, however I was considering net force and would say they had the most force transferred to them through the system. All of the walls pushed against each other on the axis of the hit, and those pushes were all equal. That meant when the ends didn't have something to push against them they'd fly away however they still pushed against the sections of wall that are still standing. Absolutely love this kind of interaction and am rambling a bit, sorry :)

[@plazmadolphin5081]

These tests were done on a baseplate allowed to move freely against the floor. This made it so a significant amount of force was absorbed by the baseplate tilting, which is unrealistic in lego war situations. It is very likely that the cannon would have more penetration power if the baseplate were bolted down (or otherwise fastened) to the floor.

[@squirtlefails]

Baseplate doesn’t move in the video though??

[@rk9island]

@@squirtlefails It does move ever so slightly, you can see some ripple like movement in the slow-mo shots. I don't know what that means in terms of energy transfer or whatever so

[@tilmo777]

I'd say it moves quite significantly. The edges get a good amount of air, on top of the rippling effect. It similarly would've been interesting to see the effect of different points of impact, e.g. higher or lower on the wall.

[@nitsu2947]

@@rk9island i think this applies to the 1st and 3rd Newton Laws. The baseplate moving back is from the reaction and helped absorb some of the force, its kinda like suspension i think, if the baseplate didnt move back the full force would be absorbed by the walls.

The force went back, but when there was no way to go back, they went up instead. Freaky

[@deadersurvival4716]

@@runtergerutscht4401 Not really, think back to high school physics class. One of the rules that's battered into your head is "any force will have an equal and opposite force applied to the object exerting the initial force". In any given impact, the ball is exerting force on the wall backwards (toward the lego man), causing it to either slow down or to cause it to go flying the other way. The walls accept the backward force spreading them throughout themselves and anything they're attached to, creating a downward force on the base. The downward force on the plate causes an upward force on the plate, causing one of two situations, either pushing the wall up, surrendering the wall to the initial blast backward by the ball, or the walls hold, allowing the baseplate to push off of the table, creating an upward force in the baseplate itself. (There'd also be a backward force on the baseplate, since it's attached to the walls until they pop off, but I'm going to assume that the baseplate was stopped from going backwards, somehow.)

Amazing how the density of the ball can have such an impact when fired from the same device.

[@purple-anthem]

I think this is because the cannon is limited by the maximum speed it can get the launcher to move. The balls all leave the cannon at similar velocities, so more energy is transferred to speed up the heavier balls instead of being lost in the cannon when the launcher hits the front. As the projectile mass approaches what the cannon is capable of moving, I think we'd see diminishing returns on how many walls it could breach.

[@yousorooo]

Potential energy depends on the mass, just like how they can have different potential energy when sitting on the same table.

data displayed at end of clip is even more interesting than test itself, the numbers resulting from the test are beautifully mathematically related to the mass of the spheres - and therefore to the kinetic energy. It would be awesome to check those 'bullets" shooted at speed generating enough force to penetrate wall (for the one made of steel), and than find out what will happen to the other ones at same velocity :D

[@Wagon_Lord]

Great observation! some quick data analysis reveals that the number of walls is approximately modelled by n=m*sqrt(x), where n is number of walls, x is the weight of the ball, and m is some constant coefficient. The coefficient m for the double wall was exactly double that of the quad wall, but the other coefficients didn't have any nice relations. For those curious, I plotted the transformation z=sqrt(x) (square root of weight) against n and got a graph that was roughly linear (I tried a few other transformations, such as logarithmic and cube root [single wall fit a cube root well], but square root seemed the best fit across the board). When you have the "linear" graph n=mz, you can calculate m by doing rise/run and compare the model to the actual values. The model for the double wall was the "nicest" because comparing theoretical values correctly matched the actual values (after rounding) 2.12035979898674 3.37485975740272 5.99728316967547 8.12035979898674 Obviously many things made certain points deviate from the trend, such as the discrete nature of n, the fact that the kinetic energy may not have increased the same for each ball (as the cannon would eventually reach a limit where the increased weight would absorb all kinetic energy of the elastic bands, meaning any extra weight would have the same KE), and the fact that the flexible floor absorbed some impact, to name a few things.

[@Tomuntaken]

@@Wagon_Lord also - friction and resistance between the floor and walls resulting from the method of connection - push-fit. And in case of floor, other than flex i will assume also motion and friction wich will count as absorbent, different each time because of changing mass of entire structure dependant on number of used wall elements

[@noefillon1749]

@@Wagon_Lord I chose to only look for the first column because the number in the others are really small. Anyway I would like to test a model : The potential energy E0 in the rubber band, that will be given to what is attached to it is a constant (doesnt depend on the mass of the ball). The energy lost by friction with lego thing in contact withe the ball is also constant Ef1 = F*L where L is the length of the ramp. Let's say E0 - Ef1 = E1 (it's a constant). The energy lost by friction with the ball is proportional to its mass, Ef2 = k1*m (may be it's less than a proportional model but not more, because if the ball starts rolling in the ramp, the friction decreases). May be we can negelect this contribution. Then the remaining of the mass E1 - Ef2 will be given to the ball (E) and to the lego thing attached to the ball (E') that also moves at the same speed, proportionnally to each one's mass (m and m') : E/m = E'/m' and E+E' = E1-Ef2 E = (E1-Ef2)*m / (m+m') E = (E1*m - k1*m²) / (m+m') We can use this model supposing that the number of wall destroyed is proportional to E : n = (n1*m - k*m²) / (m+m') This model shows that there is an optimal mass to destroy the most walls (which is quite realistic, even though I don't know if a power between 1 and 2 on m in k2*m² isn't better than 2). I suppposed that the pulling force of the band was bigger than the friction. But the contrary is totally possible and this is where the model gives negative values. It should be n = max(0 ; (n1*m - k*m²) / (m+m')).

I have learned more about physics, construction, torque, iterative improvement and patience from this channel in ten videos than from my entire time in the education system.

3:06 the side walls popping off, but front walls standing is some loony toons shit.

[@PCrailfan3790]

No it’s because the force was transmitted to the ends of the walls

[@Xizilqou]

The walls would probably be more stronger if you attached the different layers at the top, that way the front wall would be less likely to break and smash into the other wall and cause a chain reaction. Speaking of that, it is demonstrated in some experiments.

[@Sintakhra]

I remember the days of eld where Knights were so chivalrous to one another, they allowed the enemy Ballista to get within 7 bricks of the wall before firing.

This kind of shows the effectiveness of the shield wall formation, used by so many civilizations over the centuries. One man with a shield wouldn't really be able to do much besides block some arrows, but a full formation of well trained soldiers in a shield wall, all doing their part, could do so much.

A shield wall would not try to stop a cannon ball.

reminds me of a downsized version of a slingshot crossbow I made once; perhaps the heavier balls deliver more energy as the rubber band is limited by it's contraction speed with the lighter weights.

0:17, sounded exactly like the breaking sound from the lego games.

[@dogechannel9933]

Hey, I've got a suggestion for you. Making a full lego trebuchet that can launch a (insert heavy object) a fair distance. And tuning it to go as far as possible.

[@theproatthegame6160]

It’s amazing to see how Lego bricks could stop steel balls and etc. It really shows how durable Lego could be (but it depends on the build)

[@verynice4829]

ye plastic is insanely durable, never rusts nor degrade and will hold for quite a very long time.

[@kiwi_2_official]

why el bot?

[@xGOKOPx]

So with the unsupported walls, going for double walls saves resources for the plastic and glass ball, and wastes them for steel and tungsten. Going above double wastes resources in all cases. In the end however, the real solution is engineering, as we can see with U-walls and supported walls.

[@deadersurvival4716]

Only for single shots. If there had been tests for multiple shots, double and higher actually saves resources, since the walls are more capable of staying in place.

[@Renblade]

I love your videos. Perfect content - no commentary, just great footage. Thank you and I subscribed instantly.

[@reptarien]

I feel like these could be used as a great way to show how solid engineering solutions can save a lot of money and resources compared to brute force solutions. Very nice!
