The most complex LEGO Tank

[@BrickTechnology]

I want to thank my friend Daniel, who not only held the tea cup but also helped me film the final part of the video at his house. Another big thanks goes to Buwizz, who supplied me with these amazing Bluetooth battery boxes for this project. Check them out here: buwizz.com/ This video took way too much time to make, but I wanted to build “The Lego Tank” we all dreamed of making as kids. At least, that was my intention. What turned out instead is an overengineered beast with too many mechanisms that failed frequently-especially the shooting mechanism, which took me over a year to build and failed a lot while filming. That’s why I hesitate to make instructions for my builds. I nearly broke my fingers trying to put the parts back together! Anyway, thanks for watching and reading. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And please, don’t destroy pictures of your mother-in-law.

Why is the gun depresst😢😭🤔

[@moo8698]

I mean, there are tanks that are able to have more gun depression, not by raising the turret tho. That doesn't work in reality. There is not enough space. These tilt the whole tank forward to gain more gun depression. But it isn't really needed tho.

[@John_Smith_86]

Absolutely not. You are missing a lot like thermodynamics, fluids, material science, and so forth

[@pauldeddens5349]

@@John_Smith_86 Alot of those are not things too applicable to Lego however. Lego consists of 1-3 materials, mostly ABS. Legos cannot be water-tight and are assembled via friction based interlocking, which means aerodynamics and fluid dynamics are kind of meaningless at higher speeds where they become more important, the parts would just sheer off. And thermodynamics doesnt really apply since these mechanisms dont run off of combustion reactions or the like, but simple electricity. Maybe if there was a solar panel, but thats still a weak demonstration that would only show power consumption metrics. Without bricks being airtight, you cannot meaningfully make a combustive system or measure it. Potentially with the pneumatic tubes, but thats been done already.
